ahh yes, the humor.. Point is the same, anyone counting on him or even thinking he is in the mix is downright crazy. There is a reason he dropped so far in the draft.

Don't be a chucklehead. Who the hell is counting on him for anything?

Not sure what the in the mix means, but right now he is on the QB depth chart with some of the worst QBs in the league ahead of him. So you may be surprised how little it takes to move up it...

Of course he does.

But as I pointed out in a game preview a few weeks ago, he doesn't seem to be able to make good decisions. As much as Giants fans make fun of Dan Snyder, John Mara is developing a similar track record.


Totally agree. And insisting on drafting Haskins may have been Snyder's last disastrous move as an owner. We likely haven't seen the last of Mara's disastrous interference.

Gettleman’s retirement will be the annual bone tossed to angry fans. Jones will be after 2022, Judge after 2023, and the cycle continues until Tisch takes Mara to court

The demand for QBs around the league is enormous. Look at what Darnold (who isn't appreciably better than Jones) got the Jets in trade.

I'm sure there's a team that would part with at least a third round pick based on their college scouting of Jones and a belief that Jones was a victim of shitty surroundings on a dysfunctional team.



I'm not sure they can get a third for Jones at this juncture. I'd love it if they could. But Jones was over-drafted from the jump. Many had a 2nd or 3rd round grade on him in 2019. I don't think there are going to be many teams who want to pay a third for a 3rd round grade prospect who played like a 3rd round grade prospect heading into year 4.

Crazy talk. 3rd or 4th at best because they don't know what the hell they have either when he's forced to play behind this garbage OL and playmakers injured most of the season.

I don't necessarily agree with that. I think a lot will ride on what a new GM (hopefully not Abrams) thinks.

I think, suspect anyway, that Judge was a Mara decision via BB input and that DG was not in line with that and thus JG was brought on board. Mara is loyal, to a fault, and kept DG around and thus DG, JG and Daniel Jones were all sort of tied together. I think Judge, who still has to prove he belongs, has been in a quiet power struggle over what HE wants in his team. JG is gone and soon will be DG. If the Giants win some games with Glennon Judge will have the proof he needs that Jones wasn't the guy and needs to go as well.

Conjecture for sure but, there is definitely some smoke there and I think if Judge is going to get a full try (I still think BB and his opinion carries weight with the Mara's) it will be with a GM who works with him and with a QB of his choosing.


Under that theory, Judge doesn't even have to win the games, just show that production is the same, meaning Jones is indistinguishable from a journeyman backup.

I may be as lazy as a bucket of white mice but what play are we talking about that Jones was hurt? Was this early in the game against the Eagles? Because I missed most of all of the first half except the last play.



Reporters said they felt it was early in the game; Jones said he didn't know when it happened.



The play that stuck out in my mind was when he got shoved to the ground backwards from a rollout and camera showed him looking up quizzically for the RTP call. Broadcast team thought it was RTP. It didn’t look too bad at the time, but I remember thinking “hope he’s all right”.

They don’t have to pick up his option. If he s here next season, I still think that s the biggest probability, they can allow him to play out the season and decide to franchise him if they want.

What is this talk of franchising? Isn't franchising an average of the top 5 QB salaries in the league? Won't that be like $35M. Forget it. That's never going to happen.
The decision on DJ's option year is next May  
Rick in Dallas : 12/3/2021 5:06 pm : link
They can let him playout his current contract in 2022 or try to trade him before the draft to pick up additional picks.
The 2022 QB class is rated as average right now so DJ maybe attractive to a team in need of a QB.

I think that's a reasonable theory (bold above).

Despite his coach-speak supporting Jones, I've never bought in that Jones was fully invested in Jones. He's seen what quality QBing looks like and Jones is a few solar systems away from that. At least I hope he thinks that... ;)

It's interesting looking back at the Judge hire. While BB may have endorsed the hire - why wouldn't he for one of his staff, right? - we were competing against Miss State for the chance to hire a guy who had never worn the HC headset at any level. That was some serious risk.

I supported the hire and was seeing good stuff with Judge. But I'm drifting away from the guy. His act is wearing thin and he needs to show his is more than a guy well-rehearsed at giving good answers.

Why?

What are you expecting Tom Brady from a 6th round pick? And without a Belichek developing him? He is another teams practice squad player? Shoot there are people here willing to give Jones 4 years to see what he can do. How about giving Glennon more than 1.5 season before we make our minds up.



Don't be a dink with the Tom Brady stuff. That's not the point

And Glennon has been in the NFL for years with like 6 different teams. He is a known quantity and that is being a back-up QB.

Fromm may amount to little, but we should check it out first. Hell, if he shows decently, we can keep him and dump Glennon next year as back up.


He is a known quantity despite playing about a dozen fewer games than Jones; who up till yesterday was not a non quantity?

Was Kurt Warner a known quantity when he was playing for some arena team and working at a super market? How about a Tony Romo an undrafted guy who I have no idea where they found him.

So Framm becomes a giant for a day and he gets to bypass someone who has not even played a snap on this team w full practice. There are a lot of 6 th round picks playing on practice squads .

I am not sure having 2 Eagles drop game winning passes was the best thing for our franchise. Hate the Eagles and it was great to win a game but long term we need to be at the top of the draft. Watching the Thursday night game did anyone wonder how we did not take Parsons when we needed better LB's and a pass rusher? We traded down and Toney has 0 TD's. Maybe with the first rd. pick added we can find a QB in the next draft. Otherwise trade Sam Beal for Mike White. What do we have to lose?

You don't get what circumstantial evidence means? Glennon is a back-up because he is but, hey there is this guy on a the Bills practice squad who needs to get some playing time because? Ok I can say that too... Fromm is a 6th round pick and deserves to be a perm practice squad player because he is.

Again Glennon has not played much. I expect him to stink up the place but he seems more promising for some crazy thing to happen like a cinderalla story than Fromm ; a Bills practice squad player.

The 2022 tag is 28.5M, the 2023 won’t be far different.

This is actually a really sound strategy.

If you exercise his 5th year option, you’re locked into 21M in 2023 no matter how he performs in 2022.

The best option is forego the option and have complete flexibility for 2023. If he sucks in 2022 he walks at no cost. In the unlikely event it all comes together for him, you still control his rights with the franchise tag.

And I have watched a handful of QBs in a NY Giant uniform since 2016 and haven’t been impressed with any them either.

No team wants Jones if it means they lose a draft pick

I doubt the Giants would get even a 7th round pick for Jones. He has yet to prove he can read NFL defenses and his pocket awareness is nearly non-existent. At one time I thought he might be as good as Eli, perhaps better, because he's more mobile and has a stronger arm, but Eli could read defenses and had pocket awareness, unlike Jones.

To move forward with regardless of what you think about his talent level. You can’t put the franchise on a guy missing 4+ games a year.

He’s a placeholder in 22 and that’s it.



Kylar Murray has not played in a month. Same standard?


Sure. He’s proven a little more but it’s the same. Arizona isn’t winning shit if Murray is hurt every year so you can’t pay him.

Thanks for correcting me and sorry I got the tag number wrong.

But even $28M+ is an insane number to think about at this stage for Jones (and I'm sure you already know that). It's not worth mentioning it is so far from the realm of possibility that Jones' play can justify the tag. He would have to suddenly become as good as Joe Burrow, or maybe Kirk Cousins. Jones is light years from being as good a QB as Kirk Cousins. Let's mention the cap when Jones approaches the Kirk Cousins level and not before. It sounds awfully presumptuous to talk tag until then.

Jones has a stronger arm than Eli? What?!! Jones can't even throw a hail marry and reach the end zone from mid field like he couldn't before a half a few games ago.

I have no idea what possesses people on tis site to make these ridiculous comparisons. Jones is not getting a 2nd because Darnold got one. Darnold has elite arm talent and is mobile. He was playing on a far worse team. Jones will get a 6th.
