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.
The concussion wasn’t causing him to stare down the receiver and not see defenders. stop this bullshit excuse making it’s embarrassing
You are clueless.
That would be you. The concussion isn’t why he played bad today. It’s a cope by the Jones fans.
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.
It's far more damaging to throw away years waiting for the wrong guy. That's what we are doing with Jones.
If we don't use our early picks to fix the OL, we're not winning with Matt Corral in 2022 or 2023. Fix the line next year and then pick a QB, if needed, in '23. Give him a chance at success
Be capable of having a good career. But st this point even his biggest supporters should concede that it would be incredibly risky to put all the eggs in that basket.
This is not some former stud collegiate QB whose glory days provided a glimpse into what we might expect once the rest of the team plays up to his level. How many really good games can we claim Jones has had in college and the NFL combined? 15?
Maybe we can get a QB in the later rounds who'd be better than Jones.
A guy I've kept my eye on for a few seasons is Eric Barriere out of Eastern Washington (Cooper Kupp's alma mater). And he just had an 8 TD, 600 yard game.
Even his staunchest supporters put his ceiling at Ryan Tannehill. That's not the likely scenario...but his ceiling. If this were Andy Dalton here putting up these performances everyone would universally be calling for a change. But for some reason some fans are addicted to Jones at quarterback.

My issue with you, as always, is you and several other posters seem to believe QB performance happens in a vacuum. Even Ryan Tannehill doesn’t excel until he’s with a quality o-line and the best RB/WR duo in the sport. Name any of your favorites… I don’t think a single one of them would be successful here. This isn’t a good situation in search of a QB to take it to the next level. This is a disaster in need of a carpet bombing.
Jones needs to go and so does everyone else. But he never had a shot here at real success.
And my problem with so many of the Jones truthers is their feeling that Jones is the only quarterback to have adversity around him. The effort to blame everything else for his mediocrity is too much.
He wasn't exceptional at Duke. Why would he be exceptional in the NFL?
You could surround him with much better talent - the problematic traits would still be there.
He is not a first round talent. He never was. That was evident about 10 games into his rookie year.

What is Lamar Jackson’s adversity? What was Dak’s? What was Mahomes’?
Like I said in another thread. Jones has the same record in his 33 career starts that Eli had in his final 33 career starts. The issues include, but extend far beyond the QB.

The Giants passed on Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson & Justin Herbert. “Well at least they didn’t draft Haskins” isn’t good enough. This franchise stinks at QB scouting.

If you have a bad QB, you can't do anything in this league. Jones is well into his third season, and he has improved only marginally. At best he is a bottom third starting QB in this league. At best. More likely he is a backup. I think what you are seeing is the result of having a backup as your starting QB. We have other problems, of course, but a bad QB makes a bad situation, totally hopeless.

Part of the problem is they have an antiquated perception of what the position is supposed to be. I'd bet anything they didn't have first round grades on Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray.

For starters Lamar’s receivers are never healthy either. Lamar won an MVP already, and still had to deal with the criticism of if he could be a good enough passer. Then he went out this year and improved that and his probably going to win his second MVP in his short career.
Put Jones on the Ravens is he winning two MVPs?

But now I see that it is a complete organizational failure that makes success impossible. Scouting and front office can’t identify OL unless they have a high first rounder. Coaches can’t scheme offensively or defensively. Front office locks in on talented players without asking themselves whether they player has already reached their peak or not. The list goes on. A complete and total tear down and rebuild is in order.
Sitting here watching the Seahawks and Steelers, with the ghost of Big Ben running the Steelers. Seeing the Hawks crowd the LOS because they know Ben’s arm is shot and just dare him to throw short and beat them. The Steelers D looks solid enough and the offense has some weapons, even with losing one WR last week.
I wonder if the Steelers would take a chance on Jones. He likely isn’t a long term solution for them, but he might be the bridge guy until he gets expensive. This year’s QB college crop isn’t going to get it done for them.
Maybe the Giants can get a conditional pick for Jones from Pitt. Won’t be a day 1 and most likely not a day 2 pick. But right now, Jones isn’t going to be the long term answer and the Giants need draft picks to rebuild. Could the Giants get a 4th that could become a 3rd if he meets some conditions?

The first game Lamar Jackson started in the NFL, three-fifths of his offensive line was Ronnie Stanley, Mashal Yanda, and Orlando Brown Jr. He’s got a GREAT head coach. In Jackson’s first full season as starter, they hired Greg Roman, who did a great job designing the offense under Harbaugh for a resurgent Alex Smith and Super Bowl starter Colin Kaepernick.
None of these successful young QBs has seen a situation even remotely as close to the disaster that the Giants are. Heck, look at the numbers Ekeler, Allen, and Williams put up the year before Justin Herbert took over.

The comp has to be Darnold. If the Jets can get a second for SD, I have to imagine we could get the same for Jones.

but it's not just his record, which is bad. And it's not just his stats, which are bad. he looks like garbage, he doesn't look anything close to Herbert. Herbert is better in every single regard.

Jackson has improved his game each year, and not just marginally either. What does Jones do better than he did Year 1? The answer is nothing.
IDGAF if Jones ever starts another game for the Giants.
This mindset however that any of these other young QBs could be dropped into this situation and be successful is just foolish IMO. This isn’t the NBA and none of those guys, Mahomes included, is LeBron. So much went into the development of these players that you guys don’t give these organizations credit for. And not a single one has dealt with a train wreck the likes of this Giants organization. Maybe Jones wasn’t good enough to begin with. But there is no “good enough” to overcome this mess. We saw what the Giants did to build a team around Eli. The same guy who drafted Jones failed him at every turn. Why would it have been different with Josh Allen?
but he just seems to have no pocket awareness and doesn't process things fast enough. On a lot of these fumbles/sacks he seems to have no idea how close the rush was. He just doesn't seem to be getting through is progressions fast enough.
but he just seems to have no pocket awareness and doesn't process things fast enough. On a lot of these fumbles/sacks he seems to have no idea how close the rush was. He just doesn't seem to be getting through is progressions fast enough.
But he IS part of the problem, and he plays the most important position on the team.
"The rest of the team sucks too" is not an argument in support of moving forward with Daniel Jones.
The smart move is to trade him ASAP. That also applies to every other player on the roster. If a guy can be traded within the constraints of the cap and there is a willing partner, then that guy should be traded.
Amass as many picks and accelerate as much cap pain as possible.
The record may only be marginally better with Allen or Jackson
One more year for DJ. But the coaching staff and GM have to go
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?
Totally amazing how crazy this place goes for jones. So we're replacing the coaches (yet again) ; the oc; the gm; the oline; the vp of player personnel but Daniel Jones get's to stay?????? This is the POV around here? OK I have to go to earth now

He'll probably "get" 2022 to keep showing he's not the guy. He's gonna end up leaving the Giants with something like a 16-57 record as a starter.

No, unfortunately, Engram was healthy

This. This is it on the button. Jones has done enough to show he can play with a healthy unit.
But that shouldn’t preclude us from drafting a QB if there is an elite one out there. But it appears there are not.
Daniel Jones is the only QB in the history of the NFL to play with injuries to OL/WRs.
Not one team makes it though the season unscathed on the injury front.
If the answer repeatedly is: 'he needs more playmakers and health' then he's not the guy because it's never going to happen.
Maybe we can get a QB in the later rounds who'd be better than Jones.

Exactly.

One of the lowest I've seen this year.
Can't wait to see those PPF rankings this week; and if Jones is still a top 5 QB I've been reading about for the past month...

More likely he is a backup. I think what you are seeing is the result of having a backup as your starting QB. We have other problems, of course, but a bad QB makes a bad situation, totally hopeless.

Jones is one of the problems in that a lot was spent to get him and he isn't very good.
You said it best when you mentioned QB scouting. Since Eli, this team cannot scout QB’s. Every developmental QB under Eli never worked out. Jones looks over drafted.
The Giants passed on Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson & Justin Herbert. “Well at least they didn’t draft Haskins” isn’t good enough. This franchise stinks at QB scouting.
Part of the problem is they have an antiquated perception of what the position is supposed to be. I'd bet anything they didn't have first round grades on Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray.
Quote:
And my problem with so many of the Jones truthers is their feeling that Jones is the only quarterback to have adversity around him. The effort to blame everything else for his mediocrity is too much.
He wasn't exceptional at Duke. Why would he be exceptional in the NFL?
You could surround him with much better talent - the problematic traits would still be there.
He is not a first round talent. He never was. That was evident about 10 games into his rookie year.
It's just not there with him.
What is Lamar Jackson’s adversity? What was Dak’s? What was Mahomes’?
Like I said in another thread. Jones has the same record in his 33 career starts that Eli had in his final 33 career starts. The issues include, but extend far beyond the QB.
For starters Lamar’s receivers are never healthy either. Lamar won an MVP already, and still had to deal with the criticism of if he could be a good enough passer. Then he went out this year and improved that and his probably going to win his second MVP in his short career.
Put Jones on the Ravens is he winning two MVPs?

Can confirm they did not with Jackson.

Spare me the excuses Jones needs everyone healthy
Sitting here watching the Seahawks and Steelers, with the ghost of Big Ben running the Steelers. Seeing the Hawks crowd the LOS because they know Ben’s arm is shot and just dare him to throw short and beat them. The Steelers D looks solid enough and the offense has some weapons, even with losing one WR last week.
I wonder if the Steelers would take a chance on Jones. He likely isn’t a long term solution for them, but he might be the bridge guy until he gets expensive. This year’s QB college crop isn’t going to get it done for them.
Maybe the Giants can get a conditional pick for Jones from Pitt. Won’t be a day 1 and most likely not a day 2 pick. But right now, Jones isn’t going to be the long term answer and the Giants need draft picks to rebuild. Could the Giants get a 4th that could become a 3rd if he meets some conditions?

As someone who advocated for Lamar that year, are you saying there is anything close in terms of coaching, personnel, culture between Bal and Nyg?

The first game Lamar Jackson started in the NFL, three-fifths of his offensive line was Ronnie Stanley, Mashal Yanda, and Orlando Brown Jr. He’s got a GREAT head coach. In Jackson’s first full season as starter, they hired Greg Roman, who did a great job designing the offense under Harbaugh for a resurgent Alex Smith and Super Bowl starter Colin Kaepernick.
None of these successful young QBs has seen a situation even remotely as close to the disaster that the Giants are. Heck, look at the numbers Ekeler, Allen, and Williams put up the year before Justin Herbert took over.

The comp has to be Darnold. If the Jets can get a second for SD, I have to imagine we could get the same for Jones.

but it's not just his record, which is bad. And it's not just his stats, which are bad. he looks like garbage, he doesn't look anything close to Herbert. Herbert is better in every single regard.

Jackson has improved his game each year, and not just marginally either. What does Jones do better than he did Year 1? The answer is nothing.
no. the Ravens offense would be predictable and shitty.
Well, LJax has one. ;)

Actually he does need a surrounding cast.
DJ is not Lamar Jackson.
Why is that difficult to understand.
We drafted a player with the upside of Alex Smith (who was the first overall pick). That's not a elite QB.
So yes he does need help not only with cast but in from the coaching staff.
Not everyone is going to be Mahomes/Rodgers/Allen/Jackson.
Someone said it best above - he's probably not going to make it here but never really had a chance.
If you could get a 2nd for him in the offseason and wanted to draft Corral - I think you have to do it.
This mindset however that any of these other young QBs could be dropped into this situation and be successful is just foolish IMO. This isn’t the NBA and none of those guys, Mahomes included, is LeBron. So much went into the development of these players that you guys don’t give these organizations credit for. And not a single one has dealt with a train wreck the likes of this Giants organization. Maybe Jones wasn’t good enough to begin with. But there is no “good enough” to overcome this mess. We saw what the Giants did to build a team around Eli. The same guy who drafted Jones failed him at every turn. Why would it have been different with Josh Allen?
"The rest of the team sucks too" is not an argument in support of moving forward with Daniel Jones.
The smart move is to trade him ASAP. That also applies to every other player on the roster. If a guy can be traded within the constraints of the cap and there is a willing partner, then that guy should be traded.
Amass as many picks and accelerate as much cap pain as possible.

One more year for DJ. But the coaching staff and GM have to go
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?
Totally amazing how crazy this place goes for jones. So we're replacing the coaches (yet again) ; the oc; the gm; the oline; the vp of player personnel but Daniel Jones get's to stay?????? This is the POV around here? OK I have to go to earth now
I agree with you. I am ok with not drafting someone in round 1 since I’m not picking a QB just to pick one. That’s why we have Jones.
Time to look at some backups or reclamation projects..
