@RVacchianoSNY
Giants QB Daniel Jones is 'likely' out next week, per sources, and may be evaluated by a specialist.

So with Mike Glennon's concussion, Jake Fromm's going to be preparing for his first NFL start this week.

hasn't Daniel Jones ALREADY been evaluated by a specialist?
Fuck it.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 12/5/2021 5:35 pm : link
Why not?
I'd rather see Toney if he's healthy.  
Gmen703 : 12/5/2021 5:35 pm : link
.
See if Fromm can at least be a backup  
dpinzow : 12/5/2021 5:36 pm : link
I'd rather lose the last 5 games with him than with Glennon

I am Ninja : 12/5/2021 5:36 pm : link
what the hell difference does it make, really?

Good for the kid. Go get em.

Fromm likely starting...  
BillKo : 12/5/2021 5:36 pm : link
...Giants likely getting shutout.

No kidding.
Good  
Go Terps : 12/5/2021 5:36 pm : link
If he's decent, maybe we have a starter or a trade chip. If he sucks, nothing lost because Jones and Glennon suck too.

Hopefully he starts the last 5 games.
I'm calling it now  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 12/5/2021 5:38 pm : link
after next week, the chorus will be for Brian Lewerke.

I joke. Kind of.

Agreed. I don’t get people resisting this. There is nothing to lose, just look at Heinicke for WFT.

That would be fine too. The unknown is better than the known garbage.

It's a pathetic state of affairs right now. Absolutely pathetic.

This season feels a lot like 2003.

It's actually kind of important, that the starting QB had to wait over a week to get seen by a specialist for a potentially serious neck injury. Organizational incompetence also helped ruin Jones

I think it's worse. In 2003 we at least had Jeremy Shockey to provide entertainment

It is up to Jones's camp and really Jones to do that. Giants cannot force Jones to see the specialist they can only clear him or not.

Next man up!!!

One other comment about DJ's neck injury or what the Giants call a "strain" : Why wasn't he scheduled for a specialist visit last week.

Even the Giants medical staff sucks....

Seriously.

Judge's answers on Jones were strange last week too. The beats were calling Judge out on being so forthcoming about ruling Jones out and he responded "well maybe I'm just in a funny mood"...

I know everyone loves a good conspiracy, but are they lying about the injuries to try new QB's?

Both QB's finished the games and then suddenly are too hurt to play the following week.

It would seem to me if you want to try a new QB who just got here that ruling out the other guys right away would help Fromm get all the reps and prepare to succeed -- as unlikely as that is.

Route 9 : 12/5/2021 5:43 pm : link
No. It isn't important at all.

And ruin what? His precious .300 neighborhood record?

Jones stinks. Glennon stinks.

It's not like 2003 but will start to be with Fromm and Leweke starting.

I think you are missing the point. Consider this an open try-out for the QB position. So why wouldn't you want to see different players like Fromm?

We're not going to the playoffs and, if healthy, who in their right mind wants to see Jones anymore?

We are definitely in Jesse Palmer territory.

Fromm is decent enough looking to be the next Bachelor too.

I'm sure Fromm's family wants to see him play, too.

Here's what I think you don't get. Those guys are sub NFL talent most likely who are going to get their doors blown of playing behind this talent.

How in the world is that an open tryout? There's zero tryout here. Sounds like a suicide mission.

GiantTuff1 : 12/5/2021 5:49 pm : link
Fromm's Frosh and Soph years 9.0 yards per attempt. Career at Georgia 8.4 Y/A and 78 TD to 18 INT (4:1)

I know it's Georgia and they are loaded with talent but at least he accomplished this at some level of football.
and of course the game thread will be classic...  
BillKo : 12/5/2021 5:52 pm : link
.....ripping on Fromm for being a minor league QB!!!!!
Feels like a benching of Jones.  
SirLoinOfBeef : 12/5/2021 5:53 pm : link
Covered up in an injury. Maybe he's hurt, but maybe let's see somebody else before I get fired.- Coaches.

It's not funny.
Granted, the Bills aren't exactly hurting at QB right now  
BlackLight : 12/5/2021 5:57 pm : link
but it doesn't leave me sunny with optimism that Fromm has been on their practice squad since the start of last season and nobody thought about signing him until last week.

I think if the Bills really thought they had something there, they would've elevated him long ago, if only as insurance for Josh Allen

Do you really think there is an actual possibility that Jones’ injury is not legit!

Yikes!
Fromm  
AcidTest : 12/5/2021 6:07 pm : link
couldn't beat out Trubisky or Davis Webb, and as someone said, nobody else signed him off of the Bills PS.His arm is also weak by NFL standards and he's been with the team for less than a week. Fine. Let's see him. But I expect nothing.
‘03?  
cosmicj : 12/5/2021 6:07 pm : link
I know what you mean but do you realize what a massive coaching upgrade Jim Fassel would be? Fassel coached a team with a good defense and Danny Kannell starting at QB to almost win a playoff game. Judge meanwhile…

You’re probably right but in terms of QB prospects to look at, he’s probably one of the most interesting available guys. Kurt Warner was in the arena league and look who WFT is starting. So why not?
We could use Fassel's
