This franchise will never get over passing on QB Josh Allen

HonCiv6 : 2/16/2021 1:10 pm
In 2018.

Allen was such an obvious pick for the Giants at #2 in 2018. So so obvious. I was screaming for weeks before the 2018 draft that they could not pass on this Future Superstar QB. I've been proven 100% right.

Allen had the same Intangibles as Eli Manning did at Ole Miss (gamer, extreme competitor, carried a terrible team to Wins) all while possessing the most explosive arm talent the NFL had ever seen, and elite athleticism.

He was the perfect heir apparent to Eli, and the Giants passing on JA17 will go down as the worst draft decision in Franchise History. It's something we will never recover from.

Josh Allen is the Gold Jacket guy and was "touched by the hand of God", not the irrelevant Running Back.

Insert Allen into our offense last year and he would of done about as well as Jones did. Allen finally played well because they gave him a major weapon.

Everyone was clamoring for Josh Allen in the draft....but it was the DE that went to Jacksonville in the 2019 draft.

SirYesSir : 2/16/2021 1:23 pm : link
there were a TON of doubts about Allen. Good for him that he's turned into a nice player, but it's far from true that it was easy to see this is what he'd become.

Small school/lower comp, and inaccurate.

I was totally wrong on him. All his big plays in college came of broken / extended plays - which I did not think he'd be able to pull off against nfl talent.

I definitely wouldn't have taken him, but as I said, good for him and his development.

that Josh Allen wasn't that good until Stefon Diggs came along.
Liked him in the draft  
Lines of Scrimmage : 2/16/2021 1:28 pm : link
but understand the strong reservations. He had a injury history.

Good chance the Pats bounce back and the Jets and Dolphins should both improve.

Bill will paying him big money soon. That is where things can get tough if you don't draft very well.

Really nice start to his career and I hope he continues but nothing is guaranteed.

What are you on right now?

Allen is significantly better than Jones. At pretty much everything.

More accurate, much much stronger arm, better athlete, better pocket presence and feel for the rush, better leader.

Allen would have done far better than Jones, because Allen is a lot better than Jones, and that is a fact.

Arizona Cardinals had Josh Allen as the #1 overall player on their big board.

Bills got wind of that, and traded up from 12 to 7 to leapfrog the Cardinals who were picking 10.

Another BS media narrative.

Allen's team was completely overmatched in every way shape or form.

Allen took the 2020 Bills as far as humanly possible. No human could have gotten the 2020 Bills any further than Allen got them.

Allen finished 2nd in MVP voting, singlehandedly beat the Colts in the Wild Card round, and got his team to the Conference Championship where they ran into a superior team from top to bottom.

He was never on the Giants radar and the same can be said for most teams. If not Barkley, just about every account had the giants taking Darnold if they took a QB. Every single one of the top QBs that year had significant issue. And, prior to this year nobody here wanted to touch Allen.

The logic in this thread can be applied any year. Maybe the Giants never got over passing on Brady. They could have won more than 2 SBs that they got from Eli.

Allen has had one accurate year in his entire life. Guy was completing less than 60% of his passes in high school. Guy has one good season under his belt and he didnt do shit in the postseason. How many offensive touchdown drives did the great josh allen lead in the post season? I think they scored like 3 offensive touchdowns in 3 games and one of the drives started inside the opponents 5 yard line.

3 offensive TDs vs IND
1 offensive TD vs BAL in 30 mph winds, which was enough to win
2 offensive TDs vs KC

So, that would 6 total Offensive Touchdowns. 6...not 3.

Absolutely not true.

If the Giants were going QB over Saquon, it was Allen all the way.

Allen over Darnold.

The Giants regime loves big, gamer QBs who elevate the talent around them. They loved Daniel Jones. They loved Justin Herbert. Who has a similar draft profile to those 2, Allen or Darnold? The answer is Allen.

His numbers outside the pocket, actually dragged his overall completion% DOWN.

Except he wasn't. 0 turnovers in 30 mph winds against Ravens, and the game was essentially over in the 3rd quarter, so he didn't need to be aggressive trying to score from that point on. The QB played a clean, turnover-free game in brutal conditions (30 mph winds)

Allen finished 2nd in MVP voting and deserved to win the MVP. He was the single most valuable player to his team in 2020. More valuable than Rodgers. He led his team to the AFC title game with 0 running game and a mediocre defense. No human could have done better.

Barkley will retire as the Giants all time leading rusher, make it to the HOF. Daniel Jones will carry the Giants to their fifth super bowl in the next three years. Mean while you will be thinking about the 8 teams that passed on Pat Mahomes,the QB's picked before Josh Allen, and why didn't trade up to pick 31 to select Lamar Jackson that year.

allstarjim : 2/16/2021 2:19 pm : link
I guess I could say nice effort? Anyway, Josh Allen was not a clean prospect. He had a lot going for him, as you mentioned his arm talent, body, and mobility, but he was considered a project. And I liked him A LOT. I thought he was the closest thing to John Elway I've ever seen coming out of the draft, who is my ideal QB prototype.

But there were valid concerns about him making the jump from Wyoming to the NFL. FFS he was a 56% passer with a 16-6 TD to INT ratio his final year, a junior entry, and threw for only 1800 yards in 11 games. You never say never on taking a player like that high, but if there is a cleaner prospect, it's very difficult to take a project like that #2 overall.

Finally, I believe when all is said and done there won't be regrets on Barkley like there is now because of the injury problems.

And further, this is Allen's 3rd year, and he's now getting the recognition for being a franchise QB. Daniel Jones has yet to begin his 3rd year. Give him that chance.

What report? And, I just went back and looked at a number of 2018 mocks and scouting reports. Almost everyone had us taking Barkley, and the other possibility was Darnold. In fact one of the few that didn't have Allen at #6 to the Bills was Kiper, who had him going #1 to Cleveland.

Did you watch Mahomes in the Super Bowl? In a vacuum, Josh Allen is a better QB than Mahomes. Bigger, stronger, faster, tougher, better arm, better athlete, plays a grittier game when things aren't perfect.

McAdoo said he would have drafted Josh Allen with the #2 pick in 2018. Allen was his #1 QB that year.

We fired McAdoo 1 offseason too early.

If McAdoo doesn't get fired in 2017 - Josh Allen is a Giant as we speak.
And i have always been on record as favoring the Barkley pick.  
Matt M. : 2/16/2021 2:45 pm : link
I still think he is the best player from the draft. But, it was a wasted pick. Not simply because he is a RB, but because is a RB selected by a team that had a terrible OL and did not even remotely improve it for his first 2 years. But, none of the top QBs intrigued me enough to even consider them. I would rather have gone Nelson over any of them.
LOL no.

McAdoo said he would have drafted Josh Allen with the #2 pick in 2018. Allen was his #1 QB that year.

We fired McAdoo 1 offseason too early.

If McAdoo doesn't get fired in 2017 - Josh Allen is a Giant as we speak.


McAdoo also wanted Patrick Mahomes. He was an awful coach who would've ruined both. Who cares what he thinks?

The mocks and fans all saw Darnold. Flash forward three years and it hasn't been so rosey for the one guy they were screeching for - so they go for the 3rd QB selected. Funny how the Rosen chatter is non existent now too when he was yet another one so many were salivating over.

"Allen was such an obvious pick for the Giants at #2 in 2018"




Arizona Cardinals had Josh Allen as the #1 overall player on their big board.

Bills got wind of that, and traded up from 12 to 7 to leapfrog the Cardinals who were picking 10.


AZ wasn't picking 10th when Bills traded up... Oooppsss they were already picking ahead of AZ who had the 15th pick... Guess you just make stuff up though. No one had Josh Allen as the #1 QB. They had Sam Darnold and Brad Mayfield. People who are made we took Barkley... you really want Darnold over Barkley? I would of hated to have Darnold here and that would have been the pick not Josh Allen who was a super boom or bust. He boomed good for the Bills.

believe that Josh Allen would’ve gotten the same development of his immense talent with this organization as he did with the Bills. I think that development is every bit as important to the player we see now in Buffalo as is his physical gifts. I’ve seen nothing from the Giants organization that makes me think they would’ve brought Allen along similarly with the same level of coaching and talent acquisition around him.

Because of that, there’s really no point in discussing this.

Lets also not forget that the Bills traded up as high as they could to take ANY QB. Not necessarily Allen. Jets traded ahead of Buffalo to get to 3 to get whomever was leftover in that draft. If the Giants take Darnold,the Jets prob take Allen and then the Bills take Rosen. There really was no smoke about which QB the Bills wanted.

We've been through this about a thousand times, but it's a miss by virtue of the position - QB v RB.

The Giants gambled on the safety of traditional football over modern football.

that's what it boiled down to. Everything else is empowerment by hindsight.
Very few QB's have ever overcome the flaw of inaccuracy and the issue had dogged Allen from high school. Everyone recognized the potential and, at the same time, the high risk.
It worked out, but as late as last year he was the most inaccurate passer in the league in throws past twenty yards.

My recollection of the aftermath, by people purported to know  
Bill L : 2/16/2021 4:16 pm : link
the Giants thinking, was the QB was the 3rd or even 4th choice for their first round pick. SO, it was really nobody for them that year.

But, if they had to pick a QB and their thoughts reflected those of BBI's (which obviously is as far a stretch as there ever cold be), pretty much all of the discussion would center on Darnold/Rosen with Allen and even Jackson being a minor afterthought.

Do you even casually examine your arguments before making incredibly uninformed, superlative statements? Jones has "had 2 cracks at it thus far and the dividend isn't great"... Here you blowhard in dc:

Allen season 1 in 11 starts: 53% comp, 10 TDs, 2074 yards, 12 INTs, 8 fumbled, 69.7 rating, 49.8 QBR, 89 rushes for 631 yards and 8 TDs

Jones season 1 on 12 starts: 62% compl, 24 TDs, 3027 yards, 12 INTs, 18 fumbles, 87.7 rating, 55.7 rating, 45 rushes 279 yards and 2 TDs

Allen season 2 in 16 starts: 59% comp, 20 TDs, 3089 yards, 9 INTs, ....


You know what,Im not going to waste the time with you any more. You are truly exhausting and nauseating to deal with here.

Go look at both players on Pro Football Reference for a change and you will see their 1st 2 seasons were very similar excpet that Allen was a much better rusher and Jones was a more efficient passer.

To claim that Jones "had 2 cracks at it thus far and the dividend isn't great" while lauding Allen after a monster 3rd season and not taking into account the difference in player personnel is so cheesey and so you. Jesus Christ.

To the extent Barkley was taken the Giants were going to go with Bradley Chubb.

Only other option discussed at that late juncture was if Barkley was gone and a trade down offer blew Gettleman out of the water. Dave Gettleman made light of the offers he received at first but then later admitted he got at least one very reasonable offer to trade down.

It was never going to be a QB.

Your typical bluster aside, has Jones paid a good dividend yet after two cracks at it? Pretty straightforward question.

Now, it's interesting the information you left our of your "analysis" of Allen. The Bills made the playoffs in the his second season. Going 10-6. And without Diggs.

Did you notice Jones's TD/INT ratio in YR2 vs Jones's TD/INT ratio in YR2?

Further, I noticed you left our Allen's rushing stats in YR2. He had 510 yards rushing and 9 TDs. Thoughts on that?

So Allen accounted for 29 total TDs in YR2. Jones? 12 total TDs in YR2.

Now that you have more intel, do you think Allen paid a dividend in YR2?

Yikes, this post is embarrassing.

Josh Allen accounted for 29 Touchdowns in Year 2 and led his team to the playoffs, without a #1 WR on his roster.

Daniel Jones accounted for 12 Touchdowns in Year 2, while starting the season 1-7 at the midway point.

29 TDs + 10-5 record (Not gonna count the Week 17 2019 loss where Allen played 1 series then sat)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Daniel Jones' 2nd year

So Allen accounted for 29 total TDs in YR2. Jones? 12 total TDs in YR2.

Now that you have more intel, do you think Allen paid a dividend in YR2?



No I stopped typing you dickhead.

The point I was making, was that one had an exceptional rookie year,and then fell off in year 2 along with his top offensive weapon, a new system and a far inferior offensive team. The other had a pretty below average rookie season and improved 2nd season.

I didnt leave anything out. Notice how I completely left out Jones 2nd season, because I knew it would be lost on you. TD-INT: Allen had 30-21, Jones 35-22 thru 2 seasons.

Seriously you are a fraud. Your arguments suck. Even this one where I gave typing because I didnt feel you were worth the effort.

Go pump up that 6'3 190 bod.

Do you even casually examine your arguments before making incredibly uninformed, superlative statements? Jones has "had 2 cracks at it thus far and the dividend isn't great"... Here you blowhard in dc:

Allen season 1 in 11 starts: 53% comp, 10 TDs, 2074 yards, 12 INTs, 8 fumbled, 69.7 rating, 49.8 QBR, 89 rushes for 631 yards and 8 TDs

Jones season 1 on 12 starts: 62% compl, 24 TDs, 3027 yards, 12 INTs, 18 fumbles, 87.7 rating, 55.7 rating, 45 rushes 279 yards and 2 TDs

Allen season 2 in 16 starts: 59% comp, 20 TDs, 3089 yards, 9 INTs, ....


You know what,Im not going to waste the time with you any more. You are truly exhausting and nauseating to deal with here.

Go look at both players on Pro Football Reference for a change and you will see their 1st 2 seasons were very similar excpet that Allen was a much better rusher and Jones was a more efficient passer.

To claim that Jones "had 2 cracks at it thus far and the dividend isn't great" while lauding Allen after a monster 3rd season and not taking into account the difference in player personnel is so cheesey and so you. Jesus Christ.




Yikes, this post is embarrassing.

Josh Allen accounted for 29 Touchdowns in Year 2 and led his team to the playoffs, without a #1 WR on his roster.

Daniel Jones accounted for 12 Touchdowns in Year 2, while starting the season 1-7 at the midway point.

29 TDs + 10-5 record (Not gonna count the Week 17 2019 loss where Allen played 1 series then sat)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Daniel Jones' 2nd year


Did you think you were going somewhere with this?

(Hint - u went nowhere, and actually disproved your own point, ironically)


No, the fact that this is your 3rd or 4th handle is embarassing. And what adult actually says "yikes?"

Whats better is the mods defend themselves by saying they check IP addresses and blah blah blah. Yet every year, around now through draft time and at the start of the season we get the same moronic posters who pop up and torture the board for a few months before recycling their identities.

To suggest their first two seasons were very similar is just simply not true.




This!


People have lost their minds on here.

Josh Allen's 1st 2 years blows Daniel Jones' 1st 2 years out of the water.


Not comparable at all!!! Josh Allen leaps and bounds better 1st 2 years. Not close.

Your typical bluster aside, has Jones paid a good dividend yet after two cracks at it? Pretty straightforward question.

Now, it's interesting the information you left our of your "analysis" of Allen. The Bills made the playoffs in the his second season. Going 10-6. And without Diggs.

Did you notice Jones's TD/INT ratio in YR2 vs Jones's TD/INT ratio in YR2?

SMH.

Allen had 30 PASSING Touchdowns.

He also had 17 RUSHING Touchdowns.

30 + 17 = 47 TOTAL TOUCHDOWNS thru 2 seasons


You just completely left out the 17 rushing TDs thru 2 seasons.

1 passing TD counts the same as 1 rushing TD on the scoreboard.

Josh Allen accounted for 47 Touchdowns in 2 years with no weapons, while missing 6 games.

Josh with no weapons

You're absolutely right. I had a really rough day and this dupe shows up with the typical shit. I popped off right after I got done dealing with a personal issue. I shouldnt have. Thats not an apoligy to this obvious dupe, but turning to BBI to take your mind off of something is not always the right thing to do.

Apologies to everybody else who watched it happen.. To the dupe, your post and theory still sucks.
Josh Allen was not an obvious pick  
Bear vs Shark : 2/16/2021 7:15 pm : link
It's honestly just bullshit revisionist history. My username is new, but I was reading this board at the time. There was a contingent that wanted Allen, but it was much smaller than those who wanted Darnold (the biggest contingent) and Rosen (the second biggest contingent) - and that's just the QBs. More people wanted Barkley at the time than Allen also.

Now, granted, what fans want is not some measure of what is or isn't obvious to GMs/Scouts -- but when the consensus is THAT split amongst pretty much everyone who follows the team, it shows right away that the decision was not "obvious".

ahhh yes.. but the Giants weren't right? Which teams did we play this year where we weren't overmatched vs the opponent?


You don't really know that however. No one really does.

It is one thing to claim the KC chiefs are playing at an elite level in the league -- it s quite another to say if the Giants are or not.

I honestly think that Golden Tate and or Shepherd have a good season in them ; even Evan Engram for that matter; had the Giants drafted a different Qb and a high-draft-pick hog molly instead of jones and Barkley.

Most fans don't want to hear the painful truth that bad drafting and trades ; does have consequences. It isn't the end of the franchise. But just the end of Giants football and meaningful games by Sept. for a few years.

Instead we're just going to pretend like if they get an elite line; elite TE; and elite WRs -- they can win with Jones and Barkely. Guess what? I can win at QB if you give me all that -- it's never going to happen.

Just a refresher on this.

The Chiefs were the 27th pick in round one that year. We were the 23rd pick in round one.

The Chiefs had 91st pick that year in the third round. We had the 87th pick in the third round.

The Chiefs traded the Bills their 27th pick, their 91st pick and their first round pick in 2018 to obtain Mahomes.

In 2017, the Chiefs won the AFCW and were presumed to be a playoff contender again in 2018. We were 3-13 and presumed to be going nowhere in 2018.

My point. We could have made the same deal with the Bills - in terms of # of picks and the specific rounds - and had a more attractive offer.

-- Our 2017 first rounder was better than the Chiefs'.
-- Our 2017 third rounder was better than the Chiefs'.
-- And it was very reasonable to conclude our first round pick in 2018 would have been more valuable than the Chiefs' (which ended up being accurate).

In other words, we missed out on a great opportunity to grab a real generational player because the great decision makers at Jints Central got cold feet. And choked.

The Giants Way. There is no substitute.

Go Terps : 2/18/2021 12:52 am : link
The Giants have been a poorly quarterbacked, poor offensive team for 4 seasons now. The first rounds of the last 4 drafts have yielded Patrick Mahomes, DeShaun Watson, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Justin Herbert. The Giants ended up with Jones, who is well below those five on every metric and the eye test.

The Giants have had a great chance to land a true franchise QB draft pick sometime in the last 4 years, but failed. They failed for the reasons we discuss here all the time: nostalgia, luddism (I can't remember which poster used that word to describe them...but he was right), nepotism, and just a general blindness to the way the league has changed in the past decade.

When Mara should have been looking around the league to see which way the wind was blowing, he instead looked into his own past. Watson, Mahomes, Allen, Jackson...those guys are nothing like Simms or, more importantly, Eli. Herbert may be a little more in how he plays, but by then we already had an Eli clone in Jones.

And the shit of it is that Jones isn't an Eli clone at all, and Mara doesn't realize it. If he realized it, he wouldn't have picked Garrett to mentor him...he would have picked someone more likely to exploit Jones's strengths and hide his weaknesses.

Dan Duggan said in his chat yesterday that another poor year in 2021 will mean a new GM and QB in 2022. Let's hope he's right, because based recent history another poor year is coming.

Do you even casually examine your arguments before making incredibly uninformed, superlative statements? Jones has "had 2 cracks at it thus far and the dividend isn't great"... Here you blowhard in dc:

Allen season 1 in 11 starts: 53% comp, 10 TDs, 2074 yards, 12 INTs, 8 fumbled, 69.7 rating, 49.8 QBR, 89 rushes for 631 yards and 8 TDs

Jones season 1 on 12 starts: 62% compl, 24 TDs, 3027 yards, 12 INTs, 18 fumbles, 87.7 rating, 55.7 rating, 45 rushes 279 yards and 2 TDs

Allen season 2 in 16 starts: 59% comp, 20 TDs, 3089 yards, 9 INTs, ....


You know what,Im not going to waste the time with you any more. You are truly exhausting and nauseating to deal with here.

Go look at both players on Pro Football Reference for a change and you will see their 1st 2 seasons were very similar excpet that Allen was a much better rusher and Jones was a more efficient passer.

To claim that Jones "had 2 cracks at it thus far and the dividend isn't great" while lauding Allen after a monster 3rd season and not taking into account the difference in player personnel is so cheesey and so you. Jesus Christ.




Yikes, this post is embarrassing.

Josh Allen accounted for 29 Touchdowns in Year 2 and led his team to the playoffs, without a #1 WR on his roster.

Daniel Jones accounted for 12 Touchdowns in Year 2, while starting the season 1-7 at the midway point.

29 TDs + 10-5 record (Not gonna count the Week 17 2019 loss where Allen played 1 series then sat)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Daniel Jones' 2nd year


Did you think you were going somewhere with this?

(Hint - u went nowhere, and actually disproved your own point, ironically)



No, the fact that this is your 3rd or 4th handle is embarassing. And what adult actually says "yikes?"

You have gotten completely destroyed onyour garbage OP.

Cant wait to see you show up again as ToyCam7.




You're so dumb, you can't even add.

Josh Allen had 30 passing TDs thru 2 years.

Josh Allen had 17 rushing TDs thru 2 years.

That means Josh Allen accounted for 47 Total Touchdowns thru 2 years.

47 Touchdowns. After 2 years.

1 passing TD counts the same as 1 rushing TD on the scoreboard.

You are making a fool of yourself.

Quit while you're ahead.

This is embarrassing.

You neglect to point out that all of those guys save Herbert had very major question marks. Mahomes was viewed as raw and played in the defenseless Big 12. Watson supposedly had a weak arm and was proppoed up by how fantastic the team around him was. Jackson was looked at as being too reliant on his legs (still kinda true). Allen was looked at as exceptionally raw and inaccurate. So your argument is that 5 teams in 4 years drafted a QB that we could have (2 of which would have cost us a bunch to trade up for) so therefore the Maras have done a bad job because they didnt take a chance on breaking from their traditional preference in a QB?

Its as you said, all happened in the span of 4 fucking years. But by all means, lets ignore all of the many many many quirky college QB failures teams have experienced over the years because they wanted to beat everybody to the punch.

Not to mention the fact that Herbert stayed in school the year Jones was drafted. While Lamar Jackson is one of the most fun QBs to watch, I'm not sure how long he lasts and still not sure of his passing. I am enjoying watching him on Baltimore..
Watson I loved coming out of college. Mahomes I never heard of until he was drafted.

Forget my opinion. Here’s what matters on this: McAdoo wanted to make THIS move.

Of all the guys in that draft room April 27, the much ridiculed McAdoo (the last coach to get us into the playoffs) was the guy who knew it was time to begin the transition from Eli. And he recognized Mahomes had the gifts to be next great Giant.

So simple question - would you rather have Mahomes now or Jones?

were drafted by other NFL teams while the Giants were still screwing around with Eli Manning and then focusing in on Daniel Jones.

And if Jones becomes a good QB then nobody should care about the above. And if he doesn't, then the Giants will need to start the process over again at some point, most likely with a different GM because people will care about the above.

Everything else is just opinion and conjecture from both sides of the debate, so really...where are you going with all this?

As a way to prop Jones up. Trubisky is nowhere near worth where he was drafted, but his numbers aren’t bad. I’m not a stats is everything guy, but I don’t think it’s fair to reference him when comparing Jones to other 1st round QB’s. Trubisky has also won.

Solid. Jones was always getting year 3 if DG got year 3. Make peace with it.

The most beneficial outcome for the franchise is Jones has the goods.

He is going to get the opportunity to prove it.

It was always going to be that way once they drafted him at 6.

I know year 2 sucked, but Covid, brand new OL, shit receivers and no Barkley.

I am the guy on this board that continually whines about excuses but even I must acknowledge the hardships that his second year presented.

Indeed the stats do not bear out that Trubisky is more inaccurate than Jones. Trubisky's career comp pct is 64.0. This season he was 67.0. Jones' career % is 62.2. In 2020 he was 62.5.

There is a myth perpetuated on this board that Jones is very accurate. He is not an accurate QB. I think the myth persists because Jones often throws a nice looking ball - a lovely spiral, especially on his big plays. But Jones often mucks up simple plays with throws to the wrong side, over the heads and to the feet of receivers. A few of these terrible passes have cost us games. Jones remains one of the least accurate starting QBs in the NFL.

I am not a Jones believer. But the solution to Jones is not to bring in another team's bust. Trubisky has been more accurate than Jones but he has been pretty bad too and not an answer for a team searching for a franchise QB.
there's a direct correlation of WR talent  
UConn4523 : 2/18/2021 1:11 pm : link
to completion %. Just look at Wentz in 2020 compared to the previous 2 years. Not really sure why people are so unwilling to budge on certain things being out of the QB's control the directly effect their ability.

Daniel Jones isn't an elite QB and he's not good enough to overcome the lack of good players around him. But when he's completing a higher than normal % of downfield balls despite that, and is battling with probably a lot of confidence issues throwing to guys like Engram, its a recipe for failure.

It is ok to recognize that Jones isn't a great QB and also understand that his team isn't helping him much, and making it a lot harder for him to excel.

Swap Allen Robinson for Shepard and i'm wondering how much worse Trubisky would look and how much better Jones would be. I know speculation is a no no but what other choice do we have?

Useless to look backward though. Gettleman was retained and we have Barkley and Jones in 2021. If the team stinks again, we’ll try and push Gettleman out again and maybe it’ll finally work out.

No use in driving yourself nuts over it in February. Hopefully Gettleman can finally put together a decent team here because all this losing sucks.
Trubisky is one of the few QBs I watch...

play that I would never take over Jones. He's insufferable as a player.

were drafted by other NFL teams while the Giants were still screwing around with Eli Manning and then focusing in on Daniel Jones.

And if Jones becomes a good QB then nobody should care about the above. And if he doesn't, then the Giants will need to start the process over again at some point, most likely with a different GM because people will care about the above.

Everything else is just opinion and conjecture from both sides of the debate, so really...where are you going with all this?


Solid. Jones was always getting year 3 if DG got year 3. Make peace with it.

The most beneficial outcome for the franchise is Jones has the goods.

He is going to get the opportunity to prove it.

It was always going to be that way once they drafted him at 6.

I know year 2 sucked, but Covid, brand new OL, shit receivers and no Barkley.

I am the guy on this board that continually whines about excuses but even I must acknowledge the hardships that his second year presented.


Those tired excuses of covid ; new o-line blah blah. Don't forget what everyone was saying about Brady and the Bucs in weeks 1 & 2. "Brady is now learning that the Buccaneers are not the patriots". They played bad for weeks 1 & 2. They didn't lose every freakin game up and until the bye week. And also win one with Colt Mccoy as their starting QB.

Gettle had to prove he really saw something in Jones to draft him that high. So far he proved to be clueless buffoon. Just to give you a frame of reference Dan marino was drafted 20th. Just think about that.

The team had just had a pretty good season and the head coach wanted desperately to draft Mahomes. Instead they drafted Evan Engram. A lot of people are more down on Engram than he deserves, but that could have been Patrick Mahomes...



I'm guessing you didn't realize that Mahomes was drafted before Engram did you, Einstein? 13 spots ahead of him, Encyclopedia Britannica.



Just a refresher on this.

The Chiefs were the 27th pick in round one that year. We were the 23rd pick in round one.

The Chiefs had 91st pick that year in the third round. We had the 87th pick in the third round.

The Chiefs traded the Bills their 27th pick, their 91st pick and their first round pick in 2018 to obtain Mahomes.

In 2017, the Chiefs won the AFCW and were presumed to be a playoff contender again in 2018. We were 3-13 and presumed to be going nowhere in 2018.

My point. We could have made the same deal with the Bills - in terms of # of picks and the specific rounds - and had a more attractive offer.

-- Our 2017 first rounder was better than the Chiefs'.
-- Our 2017 third rounder was better than the Chiefs'.
-- And it was very reasonable to conclude our first round pick in 2018 would have been more valuable than the Chiefs' (which ended up being accurate).

In other words, we missed out on a great opportunity to grab a real generational player because the great decision makers at Jints Central got cold feet. And choked.

The Giants Way. There is no substitute.


And this whole mahomes BS. It is one thing to be drafting in the 20s and be in win now mode and trade up. It is quite another when you're picking 6th and your franchise has gone nowhere for 6 seasons, and josh is just sitting out there waiting.

Picking 2nd whatever. You know what I am talking about. I am saying it pretty clearly

would have been a preview of what a Mahomes would have looked like on the Giants with an oline incapable of protecting him. At least the Chiefs had the excuse they were hurt. What would the Giants excuse be if they traded away all their picks to get a franchise QB that would be hurt all the time and no supporting talent on the way because you traded all your picks? That is not the same as picking that high and landing a QB. not the same.

He doesn't care what you are talking about. If you aren't defending the Giants, he is just looking for the real value-add stuff like this...

of value-add.

LOL. Glad to see the fuckstick dupe back with us pulling the same shit.

Concern yourself with that compelling retort you gave the poster above to his topic. That looks to be more your speed on threads these days...
