Jones is never going to be the guy. The jury is back. He is not the answer.
Sure, the team stinks and we can fire up the excuse parade, but Herbert was on national TV this week, it is night and day with the eye test.
Nice guy, not a franchise QB to build around.
Yesterday what did the Giants average per attempt? Four yards tops? He gets worse in late downs and the red zone and frankly he will not be the answer.
Jones record is 11-25 as a starter and he doesn’t produce TD’s. Take out the WFT, and his record is 7-24. Isn’t the goal to win?
I’m not a big body language guy, but he looked absolutely defeated when they showed a shot of him on the bench last night during the broadcast. Just lost.
Not that I’m making excuses-and I’m rooting for DJ-but I don’t know if anyone who would do great behind this rice paper scrim of an o line, and with a non existent defense.
So (and I HATE to say it) while right now it looks like DJ is on the road to “very good backup land”, what could actually be done about it? Personally, I’d invest elsewhere in the draft. Can’t afford any of the potential high quality vets that might be available. So….???
He played last night like a practice squad QB just activated because of injury. I don't think Glennon will win many games but Danny needs to go grab some bench. It's over.
I dont think he's going to be in the league in 5 more years

Too bad they let Colt McCoy go. He just won 2 out of 3 games, and without the team's best receiver.

Right now he has evolved to being a skittish quarterback who is playing very bad football
I agree he looked defeated, but it s not excuse making when you observe that the one thing you cannot scheme around in the NFL is a porous offensive line, which he has had to play behind since day one
Boomer pointed out this morning that there was a time early in his career when Eli went through something similar, he said 2007, maybe he meant early in the year
But a quarterback who has been conditioned to know he has no time, they make mistakes
Jones has lost his confidence, he might not recover, but I disagree that he doesn’t have ability to be the guy
He ll get one more year but it s possible he has been ruin similar to David Carr
Gettleman has put this team in a very bad place, hopefully two first round picks can help the offensive line, I d hate to see them begin over again with any of the quarterbacks in this draft
What does Jones do well that someone like Heinicke isn’t doing for WFT? And he was undrafted.

I think the comp is Mitch Trubisky. There is something there skill wise, but doesn't translate. Time to build up is too long, high levels of competency needed everywhere else too difficult.

He s playing lousy, agree, Maybe I m confused. Why do they have to pick up 5 th year option before next year is played out.

They have no choice. You can’t double down on Jones. That 5th year option is expensive, and imo it is a better allocation of resources to bring in another rookie QB.

The option has to be picked up this May
Great athlete, nice guy, not a franchise QB. Should be a backup somewhere.

Not hard to tell for me. Giants need a quarterback. It’s time to move on.
I know the line was just as bad but they definitely threw the ball more downfield and he generally looked good doing it. I think Jones can still be decent in the right system and I think whatever Garretts plan is , isn't working.

He really wasn’t that good under Shurmer. 14 of his 24 TDS came against Detroit, Jets, and Washington. Otherwise he was average

Heinicke is straight up a vastly better QB than Jones and it's crazy that team lucked into him.

Shurmur makes every QB he coaches look better than they are.

I see Mariotta. A good backup who can run. Drafted around the same place too. Thats about it.

So, I know everyone is down on Jones and frankly, at this point, so am I. Just wondering though, why was he so good his rookie year under Pat Shurmur? I mean, he almost broke the rookie TD record and I believe he still missed like 3 or 4 games.

Throw Tampa in there (another shitty defense that year) and it's 17 of his 26 total TDs in 4 games.
Other 8 starts: 9 TDs, 19 turnovers (12 INTs, 7 FLs)
It's great that Pat Shurmur managed to coax four really good games out of Jones as a rookie, but the reality is that they are the outliers.
