Jones is not the problem  
Giants73 : 9/15/2021 6:00 pm : link
May not be the answer either, but poor play design and calling is the major issue. How often do you see Giant WR just running in open space. See against the Giants all the time. Every throw is with a Cb on the back on a stick or an out. Rarely use layered crossing routes, picks or something to take advantage of the skill players.
I noticed that and what does this mean?  
Stan in LA : 9/15/2021 6:00 pm : link
It means when his first read is open he'll get the ball there. When it isn't, he has trouble going through his progressions. This is not good for a QB and this seems to have been a problem since day 1. Most QB's, when given time, look really good (as one might expect). Jones does not.

Major red flag.

least prepared. Actually that might be the wrong term ... Garret is boring. I thought he would be a better coordinator than a head coach.

Most guys are great coordinators and then try to be the head coach and for whatever reason - they just don't have that "thing" that makes a great head coach. BUt, they still know Football.

I thought by going back to OC - he would have success. I am not seeing it. Even columnists that don't cover the Giants regularly are calling them boring on O and they need better play-calling. But, that could be because they are typing what everyone else is saying?

They seemed like they were playing a pre-season game plan last week. Running the type of plays that do not reveal to much.

There were a couple of breakdowns, but the pass pro was good all day. Great work by the line.

I find it hard to believe watching the game. It felt like Bridgewater had far more time to throw, and far more often.

What I could say, though, is that there were numerous occasions when Jones got rid of the ball really quickly, though.

This isn't necessarily true. If the receivers' routes are all breaking at the same time then there's really no progressions to go through. It would be interesting to know the totality of the route concepts from Sunday. Then we'd have better idea of Jones's post-snap capabilities.

Absolutely. I got the TV that shows how this was the worst rebuilding process of an NFL team in the past decade or so.

If Jones is not the answer, then by definition he is the problem. In the modern NFL you need a QB who stands up and becomes the answer.

If a QB picked in the top 10 is not elevating players around him, it's a problem.

Hes not even a better player than two years ago in any measurable way. He's certainly a problem.

The Giants guy and large were better run blocking last year than in pass pro. They made a bunch of changes to the line, and looks like it flipped.

It’s just one game, but it happened.

GoDeep - i dont think Jones is bad either. But there is nothing wrong with supporting a player but discussing key areas of development that are needed.

There is no reason why we can't say Jones should be the starting NYG QB in 2021 but he has to be better/quicker reading the field.

There is no reason we can't say Dak Prescott hasn't won anything but he certainly looks to be one of the top 10 QBs in the league.

There is no reason we can't say Justin Herbert has a lot to prove but he looked to be in control versus WFT and threw ropes all around that field on Sunday.

Is there?

ryanmkeane : 9/15/2021 9:18 pm : link
if anything, he stays too long in the pocket. He’s fine at progressions - case in point the throw he makes to the sideline from the opposite hash from time to time to a wide open WR, that’s not the first read. He’s fine with that stuff. It’s when he just waits too long to make a decision that screws things up. It’s almost like he hasn’t figured out that you can scramble after your second read is done. He sits back there because he can take a hit, but you gotta just be quicker.

He does not seem to be good at progressions. He locks onto receivers. He is ok finding the safety valve on occasion. One of his best plays is rolling right on a busted play and finding Slayton down the sideline. That's a play he has done well many times. But sitting in the pocket scanning his options, and letting loose in less than four seconds, He can't do it on a consistent basis. Plus he is slow to process and slow to release.

I simply am not there yet. He is in such a bad situation it is insane.

I really want DJ to be able to rise above the weak roster of players that moron GM gave him on Offense, and the obvious drab play-calling he is provided by Garrett. He may never get there, I know. But this team isn't doing anything yet anyway so I can wait it out for a few months.

With DJ's failure, does come some good upstairs.

Though, I do ask from time to time...what are we doing?

Generally fair statements but not aligned with saying he is "fine" with progressions if it takes him too long to get thru it.

Read, react and make a decisive throw/scramble. You don't get the luxury of time behind that OL...wake up.

But part of what makes this situation bad is that he lacks the talent to ball out and make plays on a consistent basis. And if he is going to make mistakes, like he habitually does, then he needs to make up for it by throwing 3, 4, 5 TDs. We scored 7 points last week. This is bananas. He plays like a backup. All he has flashed is decent athletic ability and the occasional pretty pass. The main problem with our organization is that they are not accepting what Jones is. And we are waiting for some unknown, magic moment when we have seen enough. We have seen enough. even if he has a good game or two, it's obvious this kid is not elite. The kid is not a baller.

Of course. Daniel Jones is the best QB we have now and he needs to start. Personally, I would have thought about drafting Fields or Mac Jones. I would have started the succession. I don't fear QB competition. If your QB can't handle the heat of fair competition, how's he gonna handle a top D like the Bucs in January. He's a QB, not a prince..

You may be right about that. Though there was significant buzz about Mac when it was rumored that SF traded up for him, which I never believed. But he has looked good. he is exceedingly accurate, has football smarts, and seems to process quickly. With these three traits he may well overcome his limited athletic traits. I think that would have been the story, if we drafted him.
