I give up, Jones is not the guy

jvm52106 : 10/17/2021 3:18 pm
and I can't ignore the issues on a hope that he can be good. Too many things say this is who he is..

He should get another year next year  
Anakim : 10/17/2021 3:19 pm : link
One more year for DJ. But the coaching staff and GM have to go
He doesn't look like it  
giantstock : 10/17/2021 3:20 pm : link
But looking at draft for QB's, are they?

And the whole team sucks.

Who can the Giants get?
I'm not a Jones guy  
JonC : 10/17/2021 3:20 pm : link
but today's a bad game to decide on. He looks to be dealing with symptoms, the OL and defense matched up poorly with the Rams, and the lack of weapons doomed them.
I disagree  
adamg : 10/17/2021 3:20 pm : link
He needs two more years. This time with a modern O coordinator that isn't used to the best OL/RB combo to bail out his lame calls.
Educated guess  
JonC : 10/17/2021 3:25 pm : link
They keep Jones and throw resources at the OL and punt the decision another year. Maybe they sign a vet to actually compete with and push him. Bigger question I see is does DG keep his job, and also which coaches. If not, changes will probably be more sweeping.
Jones???  
bluewave : 10/17/2021 3:25 pm : link
THE WHOLE TEAM SUCKS!!!!
Concussion plus a lousy OL  
TLong : 10/17/2021 3:27 pm : link
could make Tom Brady in his prime look bad.
There is no QB  
Giantology : 10/17/2021 3:27 pm : link
Who would succeed with the OL, weapons, and defense Jones is playing with today.

This sounds like John Mara levels of idiocy. If you're brining in a new coaching staff and new GM, why wouldn't you let them pick their QB?
Glennon should finish this game

If you force QB in a bad QB draft you end up with Jones instead of Herbert. Drafting for need is why they are where they are.
Jones should be evaluated against the 2022 draft class..  
Sean : 10/17/2021 3:30 pm : link
None of this “giving him another year”, evaluate him against the other pending QB’s in the draft.
2022 qb class  
JonC : 10/17/2021 3:32 pm : link
ain't looking good, and cannot force another QB pick.
Sean McVay has a system.  
Ike#88 : 10/17/2021 3:32 pm : link
What does Jason Garrett have? As for scheme we are without description other than inept. Jones is certainly not playing great today but coming off a concussion I am not surprised. . We will know the full answer on Jones by the end of the season. Garrett has to be gone after this season. At the very least make him the sacrifice like the yankees hitting coach. We are a mess.
I have defended him week in and week out  
jvm52106 : 10/17/2021 3:33 pm : link
but man, today is just complete trash. This team is pathetic.

The oline is a mess, the defense lacks play makers and our scheme on offense is too easy to figure out and too intricate to succeed- ie must be perfect to work.
The problem with Jones is not physical  
Chris L. : 10/17/2021 3:33 pm : link
the physical is actually very good. It is all mental with him. He simply takes too long to process what he is seeing. Can't do that in the NFL. Everything has to be just right for him to have success. In the NFL it never is.
I'm not sold on Jones either, but  
Bill in UT : 10/17/2021 3:36 pm : link
I would not make another high QB pick until they fix the OL and the rest of the team to where the QB will actually matter and have a chance
At this point, I still really have no clue  
Matt M. : 10/17/2021 3:43 pm : link
about Jones. I don't think he sucks, but I don't really know how much better he will get. He may be a guy who will really benefit from a new and better OC and QB coach. However, I think we are reaching the point where we can't afford to be the team that finds out.

We are on our way to a likely top 5 pick again. We may have another from the Bears (at least a 10). We can't expect or want to be in that position again, so could be our best shot at getting the future of the franchise. Regardless, I only have optimism if we have a new GM. A new regime is being handed 2 too.picka with a few talented young players on the roster. I wouldn't expect a dramatic 1 year turn around. But, it shouldn't be that huge of an undertaking if they their job.

That said, the same scenario with the current regime and I d expect more shit.

Banks : 10/17/2021 3:45 pm : link
I think we know enough that he isn't special. He may not be the problem, but he isn't the solution. He's Alex Smith

2 more years? You’ve got to be kidding. Hey, let’s give him 10, you just never know.
Huh?  
weaverpsu : 10/17/2021 4:01 pm : link
Jones has been a bright spot this year. One of few.
So today is the day you reach that concision???  
djm : 10/17/2021 4:02 pm : link
Seems like a fair day to come up with this doozy. Completely fair.
I think they bring in a veteran QB  
Simms11 : 10/17/2021 4:03 pm : link
to compete and I’m not talking Glennon.
Wtf  
djm : 10/17/2021 4:03 pm : link
Conclusion not concision. Wtf does that even mean go fuck your self iphone.

Mike from SI : 10/17/2021 4:09 pm : link
is not the day to decide this on. It should of course be taken into account but this should not be the be-all and end-all.
The offense isn't good. The defense isn't good.  
81_Great_Dane : 10/17/2021 4:09 pm : link
The special teams aren't special. Jones may or may not be the problem, but he doesn't look like he's the solution.

Yes, this offseason may be time for yet another blow-it-up rebuild, from the GM down. Jury's still out on Judge but the arrow is pointing down, so to speak. I'd let the new GM decide.

The best thing for the Giants might be for Joe Judge to take a college job, like USC or LSU.

3 separate NFL offenses? Not to mention what he ran at Duke. Won't work. I think he had potential in Shurmur's system. He'll be a backup somewhere but he isn't QB1 material. Another playbook would be a significant set back.
I think you can win with Jones  
JoeyBigBlue : 10/17/2021 4:14 pm : link
But you need to build a solid team around him. He has one really big weakness and it’s that he doesn’t feel the pressure well. Jones cut down the turnovers big time when Andrew Thomas started playing better at LT last year. With his blind side protected, Jones started to show why he was drafted so high. Football is a team sport, and recently myths have been created that franchise QBs carry teams to Super Bowls. It’s not the case. Build to your QB’s strengths.
If the Giants have a top 5  
Beezer : 10/17/2021 4:17 pm : link
plus a top10 I really hope they don’t waste one on a quarterback.

Look at the OL, DL and LB in the top 10.

IMO
Jones may not be the future  
bc4life : 10/17/2021 4:18 pm : link
but he's the foreseeable future.

Have some weapons - need to shore the right side of that OLine. Leave Peart in and see what we have. If he or Wilson isn't the answer - you know what's on top of shopping list next year
What's the strength  
bc4life : 10/17/2021 4:18 pm : link
of next year's draft?

If you force QB in a bad QB draft you end up with Jones instead of Herbert. Drafting for need is why they are where they are.


I agree with this. We need a lot and can't force a #1 pick. Take what the draft gives us, where the talent is. If that means Jones gets another year, then so be it. I've seen some good college players coming out this year, but no QBs.

Now is the Jones the guy, I'm not sold. However I'm not forcing the QB pick, I don't want the next Rosen, Haskins, or Trubisky (which is exactly what happened to the Bears and Trubisky)
.  
Scooter185 : 10/17/2021 4:24 pm : link
If no QB stands out amongst the '22 draft class find a good bridge QB for a year. Plus who knows what kind of shuffling is going to happen after the season. They don't have to draft a QB next year, but that also doesn't mean Jones has to stay either
As of today  
Go Terps : 10/17/2021 4:25 pm : link
Drafting Matt Corral in the first round is not "forcing the pick". Maybe he gets hurt between now and the draft, or something else comes up...but right now picking Corral in round 1 would be a fine use of the pick.

You know what's worse than forcing the pick? Entering 2022 with another "Jones gets the year to see if he's the guy" situation.

It's far more damaging to throw away years waiting for the wrong guy. That's what we are doing with Jones.
Next year's draft  
santacruzom : 10/17/2021 4:28 pm : link
May not have a Lawrence, Luck, or Peyton-caliber prospect, but I definitely think they'd be able to choose from 2 or 3 QBs who'd be likely upgrades over Jones
Terps  
cosmicj : 10/17/2021 4:30 pm : link
I’m honing in on Corral, too. And he’ll likely be there when we pick, no trade up needed.

Speaking of draft position, Ray! RAY! Fire up that spreadsheet!

Seems to have worked out for the Jets
The man suffered a concussion, then throws three picks  
Dave in Buffalo : 10/17/2021 4:32 pm : link
the following week. Gosh, I wonder why? How the hell can anyone be surprised?! WTF. He shouldn't be out there. I liked Joe Judge, but putting Jones out there a week later, was not only stupid but also put him at greater risk of injury. The whole damn staff has to go. DG, JJ the whole lot.
Corral and Willis

The concussion wasn’t causing him to stare down the receiver and not see defenders. stop this bullshit excuse making it’s embarrassing

It doesn't matter who the QB is with Judge as HC and Garrett as OC, considering how negligently they've treated Jones
This is what I will say  
dpinzow : 10/17/2021 4:42 pm : link
We need a new GM and HC and whatever they decide with Jones, I'll go with. If the new coach and GM want their own QB, that's fine because they deserve that

The injuries are the reason he threw the ball directly to the defense twice?
