My thoughts on Daniel Jones

EmusNYG : 9/12/2021 8:24 pm
I thought Jones played pretty well tonight. The one fumble was bad yes but I think he played much better than people gave him credit for. He had no run game to help him out, Miller was on him all night, and that play calling from Garret was just bad. Not to mention that he was obviously out of sync with Rudolph. If Garret grows half a brain, Jones gets a bit of practice and rhythm with Golladay and Rudolph, and Saquon starts to return to form, maybe, just maybe this offense will be something this year.

One that comes to mind is Brett Farve. Jones is no Farve


Eli, maybe not to the same extent but he'd have a drive and momentum killing turnovers all the time. I still remember how he fumbled on potential game winning drives two years in a row against the Eagles.

Nobody ever had an opportunity to make a play.

A few thoughts  
Matt M. : 9/12/2021 10:11 pm : link
1) Greg is spot on that he has yet to look like a #6 pick

2) Even if the fumble was the 1 stain or "except for the fumble", fumbling is a signature of his career thus far.

3) I don't think he played well "except for the fumble". His throws were all over the place today. Sure, he had a few well placed balls. But, he had more that were poor (way low, way high, behind receivers). He did not look like a 3rd year QB expected to lead the franchise.

arniefez : 9/12/2021 10:14 pm : link
yes I agree. The accuracy Jones showed as a rookie is gone. I'm not sure why. His passes were all over the place today even when he had some time to throw.

He doesn't know how or doesn't have the talent to throw a back shoulder ball. He has Golladay the best back shoulder catcher in the NFL and he's throwing to the pylon for him like he's a healthy John Ross.

He also has an idiot for a OC and maybe a HC. Where were the 50/50 balls on the outside for Golladay. Forget about whether he's open. The Giants gave him 40m guaranteed because he wins contested catches better than anyone in the NFL. They didn't try it once. They have him running in cuts. WTF?

Jones has 40 turnovers and an 8-19 record. He can't get the ball in the end zone when it matters. We've seen enough. He's not going to be an elite NFL QB ever. IMO if he gets hurt and I hope he doesn't - I'm not wishing injury on him. I just know he'll never be benched - the Giants will score more points with Glennon than with Jones.

I’m sure those criticizing Jones already hated him going into the game so they were just looking for something to spew your hate. Rather than spew it on the defense, they still prefer to heap dung on DJ.

I’m sure those guys won’t listen to reason so this is not meant for them….but to those who are looking for a word to help put this 2nd half in perspective, here you go…..

1. Denver ate up a lot of clock in first half, so after NY ‘s first two quick possessions, they settled down and Jones led them downfield for a TD in the 2nd quarter with 8+ minutes left. Up 7-3

2. Denver had another long drive that ended with a fumble at the 4; Garrett called safe plays and we punted with 2 min left. Unfortunately our defense let them March about 60 yards with little resistance. 10-7 Denver

3. They get kickoff and March down to score on another long drive and converted a broken down 4th down pass. 17-7 with 6+ minutes left in the 3rd

4. Jones leads NY to Denver 22 and fumbles on a run at Denver 22. No doubt, this hurt, but it was his only turnover. They March down to get a FG 20-7

5. Giants start with 12+ minutes left and March down the field only to stall at the Denver 6.

6. Gordon scores long TD run, 27-7

7. Jones gets ball with 4+ minutes left and marches down to Denver 21, only to stall on 4th down

8. NY gets ball back with 1:49 left at 36 and March all the way down to score a TD on the last play….Jones runs 4 yards for the td

Results of 2nd half:
4 possessions
1 TD
2 drives end in loss of Downs at Denver 6 and Denver 21
1 drive ended with turnover, a fumble at Denver 22

Clearly in the 4 times we had the ball, we moved it all 4 times. Because the defense was unable to stop Denver, the game plan had to get hectic in order to comeback from a 17-7 deficit. The fumble hurt, but the two tds the defense gave up to go from up 7-3 to down 17-7 before you even touch the ball again were worse.

NY’s highly regarded defense just stunk today. The offense wasn’t bad but you can see all the players who missed the preaseason were just starting to get back into shape, Saquon, Toney, and Rudolph didn’t do much. Golladay came on in yhe 2nd half. I expect the offense to keep getting better as they play together more.

My god. How delusional are some of the fans on here? The guy sucks. He can’t read a football field and find open receivers. He has no clue what he’s doing pre snap. What exactly does he do well? I’m tired of hearing these excuses. Russell Wilson has been playing with a subpar O line his entire career for the most part and still finds ways to win games. OUR QB SUCKS. It’s plain and simple at this point.

You guys are so right! Him fumbling the ball as they’re about to score didn’t effect the outcome of the game at all. My god. It’s like listening to a broken record. The QB literally drops back and stares at the receiver he’s going to throw to. He’s absolutely awful at pre snap calls and turns the ball over. They just got embarrassed at home by a team that won’t be in the playoffs with a QB that is a really good backup at best. Jones is not the only reason this team sucks but he’s a huge part of it and if you can’t see it then you’re just an apologist for the franchise. Gettleman will not be here next year and Jones will not be the starter. That day can’t come soon enough.

I've been a big Joe Judge fan from the outset, but his comment a month ir so ago that he believes the OL is fine really baffled me. I still can't get over that they didn't draft any linemen this year.

DG has been bad and now that Judge is in year 2 the honeymoon is over. The Mara decision to bring in Garrett last year was a bad one because his track record was not great and they were stuck with him this year because of the continuity thing with DJ. Garrett will last the year and he will be gone along with DJ who this organization thrust into an awful situation. Hopefully we cut Barkley loose because we cannot afford to give a guy a big contract who is not on the field and not a consistent producer.

Been a fan since 1956 and yesterday turned game off after Denver’s first score of 2nd half. I feel bad for fans with PSL. Seems like we have been watching same bad football for 10 years.

BrettNYG10 : 9/13/2021 9:08 am : link
I think Jones was worse than most think. Look at the number of positive plays Bridgewater made last night. Even Dalton made better plays than Jones against the Rams. Both those guys are perpetually trying to be replaces.

Jones has shown limited ability to extend plays through his pocket presence. Eli was a master of creating an extra half second by shifting his feet in the pocket. Jones' athletic ability (a very real strength) is totally missing in the pocket. Jones doesn't make enough big plays and then makes too many mistakes. It's a disaster.

He's going to get this year. But it's not just one game - I think we are now on start 26 of his career - the bad traits aren't getting better. I hope it clicks but I'm not seeing enough big moments to be hopeful.

They scored seven points. Seven. Stop trying to rationalize yet another lousy Daniel Jones performance.
For as fast and athletic as he is...  
GNewGiants : 9/13/2021 9:16 am : link
He has no elusiveness or mobility in the pocket.... look at how many plays Bridgewater extended and made plays out of the pocket. Bridgewater is no burner. For as unathletic Eli was, he could move in the pocket and bide some time to make plays.

Jones cant do that. Love Jones when he starts running (when he doesnt fumble), but he cant extend plays and make throws off of it.
Bottom line is the Giants can't score points...  
BillKo : 9/13/2021 9:18 am : link
...ultimately that falls on Jones despite it being the a team game.

I just look at other teams - I mean literally we didn't even have a run yesterday that looked like an NFL run. Everything was behind a pile of bodies.

I really thing he's in the wrong offense - which in the end is going to spell his demise here.

I say here because I think you'll see him go somewhere else and do pretty well.
yes, that's why they don't run many designed runs for him  
Greg from LI : 9/13/2021 9:23 am : link
He's fast in a straight line but he has no wiggle to his runs whatsoever. If he gets an open field in front of him, he can cover a lot of ground, but he has no elusiveness.

The fumble is magnified and is more impactful because the offense in general is not good and they typically do not get too many chances that far across the 50 yard line in a game.

Thoughts on Daniel Jones  
johnboyw : 9/13/2021 8:33 pm : link
Thoughts? You want thoughts on Jones? Here are my thoughts on Jones.

I’ll start with my conclusion. You’ll never see anything more from him than what you’ve already seen. This is what he is. He has not progressed to the next level and likely never will. He is slightly above average but that’s it. He was a “need” pick three years ago and was way overdrafted. Probably more of a late 3rd round value really.

He is and has been very up and down. Consistently up and down. Throws some nice passes and some absolute stinkers. The fumbling is very troublesome. How can you go anywhere with a fumbling QB? He still has no feel for the rush which playing on this team is a really bad trait. His demeanor really bothers the hell out of me. Has that easy going, laid back look 24-7. Whether he throws 50 yard TD pass or make a crucial fumble in a tight game he looks the same. Never see a bit of emotion from him. Almost looks disinterested at times.

In short, this is NOT the guy who will take you where you want to go in the NFL. Lacks too many of the necessary traits, both physical and mental.

Granted it’s only one game but this is what it’s likely to look like this year more often than nought. Probably be an 8-9 season with no playoffs. And that won’t be enough for John Mara. Probably be using one of those 1st round picks in 2022 on a QB and the pick will be made by a new GM.

And one last comment. Any guy I know named Daniel goes by Dan or Danny or Dano. But we have Daniel here. Daniel Marino went by Dan. Joseph Namath went by Joe and Thomas Brady goes by Tom. Jones needs to drop the pre-Madonna formal name shit and start worrying more about his football performance which to date has been less than stellar considering what he’s paid.

I’m sure those criticizing Jones already hated him going into the game so they were just looking for something to spew your hate. Rather than spew it on the defense, they still prefer to heap dung on DJ.

I’m sure those guys won’t listen to reason so this is not meant for them….but to those who are looking for a word to help put this 2nd half in perspective, here you go…..

1. Denver ate up a lot of clock in first half, so after NY ‘s first two quick possessions, they settled down and Jones led them downfield for a TD in the 2nd quarter with 8+ minutes left. Up 7-3

2. Denver had another long drive that ended with a fumble at the 4; Garrett called safe plays and we punted with 2 min left. Unfortunately our defense let them March about 60 yards with little resistance. 10-7 Denver

3. They get kickoff and March down to score on another long drive and converted a broken down 4th down pass. 17-7 with 6+ minutes left in the 3rd

4. Jones leads NY to Denver 22 and fumbles on a run at Denver 22. No doubt, this hurt, but it was his only turnover. They March down to get a FG 20-7

5. Giants start with 12+ minutes left and March down the field only to stall at the Denver 6.

6. Gordon scores long TD run, 27-7

7. Jones gets ball with 4+ minutes left and marches down to Denver 21, only to stall on 4th down

8. NY gets ball back with 1:49 left at 36 and March all the way down to score a TD on the last play….Jones runs 4 yards for the td

Results of 2nd half:
4 possessions
1 TD
2 drives end in loss of Downs at Denver 6 and Denver 21
1 drive ended with turnover, a fumble at Denver 22

Clearly in the 4 times we had the ball, we moved it all 4 times. Because the defense was unable to stop Denver, the game plan had to get hectic in order to comeback from a 17-7 deficit. The fumble hurt, but the two tds the defense gave up to go from up 7-3 to down 17-7 before you even touch the ball again were worse.

NY’s highly regarded defense just stunk today. The offense wasn’t bad but you can see all the players who missed the preaseason were just starting to get back into shape, Saquon, Toney, and Rudolph didn’t do much. Golladay came on in yhe 2nd half. I expect the offense to keep getting better as they play together more.



This is drinking the kool-aid type thought.

The D was terrible but the difference was that the D was good last year. One can reasonably hope that what happened on D was an aberration and they will generally play better going forward. The offense has been terrible for years and everyone was looking for big improvement, but, after seeing what I saw, the offense looked as bad as last year

The offense was terrible. Jones was terrible.
Not a serious chance of scoring on 2 RZ trips in the fourth quarter. The last drive for a TD was beyond meaningless! Total garbage time stat padding. Game was over, Denver up by 20 points with 1 second on clock. You count that as a successful drive and use it as evidence that the offense was effective? I'd say the opposite. It showed that the offense could only score in the RZ when the defense couldn't care less.

What flavor DJ kool-aid are you drinking?

The offense has been terrible for years and everyone was looking for big improvement, but, after seeing what I saw, the offense looked as bad as last year. I saw nothing in Jones game that shows that he's taken the next step. Same flaws as we've seen since he was a rookie.
