after such a rough outing last week against the Rams. While his bottom line stats don't jump out at you, he performed at a very high level, especially with so many starters out of the line-up.
Perhaps most impressive was his 3rd Quarter TD drive, starting with the ball first and 10 at the Giants 25. It started with a stretch run to the left with Booker which turned out to be a fake with Jones doing a reverse pivot to his right. One problem -- he only had Kyle Rudolph trying to seal Bryan Burns, which failed. But Jones eluded Burns, faking him out, continued running to his right and then threw a 15-yard strike to Darius Slayton right at the sideline for a first down.
And then on third and 13 at the 42-yard line, Jones took a low snap, has to step up into the pocket, and then drifts to his right finding Booker for a 15-yard gain and another first down.
And then, of course, the end around pass that Daniel Jones hauled in with one hand (good for 16 yards and another first down) -- and best of all, he holds onto the ball after former Giant Sean Chandler puts a huge hit on him.
There was also Jones bobbing and weaving for 6 yards and then he executes a beautiful pitch option to Devonte Booker that froze Haason Reddick and went for 11 yards and another first down. And then the coup de grace on third and 3 at the Panthers 5-yard line -- a TD pass to Dante Pettis!
Daniel Jones looked totally in control for the entire drive. Very proud to see him perform this way! And kudos to Devontae Booker as well!
Love rooting for this kid. Great athlete, fierce competitor, skilled passer.
His critics don’t like when we are happy with him, as you can tell by some of the posts.
But it feels good to celebrate a win and even they can’t dampen it today.
But it was a good team win overall, especially for Graham and his D.

Agreed.

He made several big plays and an awesome one handed grab. Considering he did it with a mostly JV team he Def played better than just fine.
He seems like a good kid so I'm hoping for the best.

Agreed he did nothing special. But he hung out and delivered plays when he had to and didn't try to play hero ball, unlike last week.
When his top WRs are near PS guys, no run game and his OL is bad? Not much more anyone can ask for.
^^This^^
I have no idea what people expect out of Jones.
He's playing well, is obviously prepared week in and week ou,t has a very desirable skill set and it tough as nails.
Like my buddy once said, some people wouldn't be happy in heaven.
Hate to burst your bubble but he's going to be our QB next year and we won't be drafting a QB....

He was ok. Nothing great

Maybe but that’s because of the class more than it is about Jones. Hyping up his game today as something good is strange.
Reality is there are not many elite QB’s. If you can clearly upgrade you do so. I lean towards building a better team and having cost controlled QB unless truly special.
Great effort today by !
No doubt. They finally stopped the run and won on first down a good amount after the first drive.
I’m expecting a “wow” play. I’m expecting someone who can show that he can win games. I’m still waiting for what jones can do. I’m still waiting for that’s eli to placico throw to win in ot agaist the eagles. . . Still waiting for that tyree play and not the one from the SB. So far all I see is average play game manger throwing 10 yards slants and running
If he was drafted in the second round and we got a stud pass rusher or lineman at #6 — I’d say okay
Quote:
By my count he threw one bad pass all day. His line was atrocious and he was throwing to guys that wouldn’t normally be on our 53. Idk what else some people expect. If he plays poorly go ahead shit on him but at least give him credit where credit is due

Why not pretend he was taken in the 2nd round then lol
I guess my point is after 2.5 years if you happiness has to still be based on where he was picked - something is amiss.
Either you like him after 2.5 years or don't, 1st rounder or second rounder.

Because his 5th year option is based on where he was picked?
When you control for playing without most of his top weapons, and behind a shaky OL, Jones's play today is pretty impressive, even without the eye-catching stats.

If you ignore the first 2.5 quarters sure

LOL - Garret's play calling was ATROCIOUS. the goal line calls in the first quarter was pathetic. and the call to pass to Jones to put him in harms way? Awful.
The Panthers didn't have a top offense. I expected a low scoring game. But they do have a solid defense starting with Chinn, Burns, and Reddick. And Jones was the main catalyst to the offense scoring 23 points with PS level guys around him.

Hurts has a terrible game against the Bucs but gets like 2 garbage time TDs and he's a good QB. Jones makes no mistakes and is a game manager with no offense and he sucks. I fucking hate BBI posters.

Yeah, those calls were awful, but so was execution.
I didn't mind the flea flicker to Jones but what was up with the called runs UP THE MIDDLE with DJ???? There was at least two of those.
Sure the moving pocket was nice but it was almost a necessity versus the CAR defense.

Jones played with bottom level guys on the line, at receiver and no game until deep in the 4th quarter. NO BIG DEAL, GUYS.
+1
Most of the DJ critics don’t know squat regarding what is required to evaluate a qb or they have gone on record wanting DJ to fail in order to not look stupid for mocking the draft pick.
Someone said, “he didn’t do anything special” obviously has an agenda. Like you noticed, just about all, one or two exceptions, were perfectly thrown passes….especially the slant patterns, leading the guys nicely so they could get YAC. And he was having to throw a lot on the run, and most were right on target. Oh, but that’s nothing special.
And of course he caught a pass one handed and held on after a major hit…..oh but that’s nothing special. And how many yards rushing did he get and what was his average? Oh, but that was nothing special.
It’s people like that have done me a great favor by keeping me away from sites like this and spend more time constructively.

If you leave the game and look at Jones in a negative light still, maybe you should stop joining the discussion, because you're not adding anything of value. This post here by you proves my point. Maybe educate yourself on the roster, or go back to Reddit.

Look, Jones managed the game pretty well. His QBR was 43. Certainly not glowing, but in the average range.
Once it became clear our D was in complete control of Darnold, which was established early, Jones needed to stay clean with the ball and trust the calls. Which he seemed to do.
Our staff completely outcoached Rhule, Brady and Snow.

The game was 12-3 until the Panthers started handing the Giants 4 straight short fields. They had 18 first downs on 13 drives which is pathetically embarrassing.
Sorry you’re blinded by a win but 200 yards and a game that was pathetic for 75% of the day isn’t some indictment that Jones was good.

"He did nothing special" .... nothing special? I would call that 1 handed catch by a QB (and then hold on to the ball after a pretty good hit) - pretty special.
You said nothing special .... that was something special (imo).
All things considered it was a good day. Enjoy and focus less on the stat line and what was accomplished with what was available today.

If you continue to completely ignore that he was playing with one of the worst supporting casts on offense that any QB has had in many years then you should just delete your account because nobody gives a damn what you have to say. The WRs and OL that were trotted out there today was embarrassing.
I’m not Jones’ biggest fan but you need you fucking head examined if you can’t acknowledge what he did out there today. Your grasp of football is a disgrace.

But it wasn’t a good day, you guys are being blinded by your fandom.
If the defense wasn’t good today the Giants get blown out.

My football knowledge way out weighs yours. He was decent nothing more.
You can not give a damn what I say because you’re satisfied with this game , but I’ve been right the last 5 years on this board so whose football knowledge is a disgrace?
This game isn’t anything to be excited about when it comes to Jones.
Much better than last week.

Eh, the bad team argument is more relevant to the D. The Panthers are a bad team because of their O, not their D, and Jones was playing with no one on O.
"He did nothing special" .... nothing special? I would call that 1 handed catch by a QB (and then hold on to the ball after a pretty good hit) - pretty special.

So now we are grading Jones based on his ability to catch the ball? It was a trick play. Let's focus on the traditional plays a QB has to make. Thanks.

They didn’t have their best defender and captain. Shaq Thompson. We saw what a loss can do when we lost Martinez.
Plus you’re right - their offense was wretched
