Looks like Minshew has generated more offense in 1Q than the Giants have since Thanksgiving

Had to sign Glennon tho...

You honestly think Minshew shows up and magically the Giants look like a 9-7 6th seed playoff team that is on a roll and playing their best football of the year. While the Giants looked like the worst team in the NFL. Ridiculous premise and Minshew is not that good.

Probably not, but he’s at least productive as Jones, so if you feel that way about Minshew than you must also…

Offensive systems. Eagles running all backups out there on the line and still can move the ball.

I don't know. I guess I will believe Jones is better than Glennon. And I guess a case could be made Minshew better than Jones. But why then was it not automatic that Minshew start over Glennon in Jacksonville? He came back from injury and they continued to play Glennon. Imagine if that happened on the Giants. Imagine if Jones sore neck was healed and they continued with Glennon.

Yep, but with Some covering Giants you get the injury excuse. Injuries do matter, they make you less effective, but they shouldn’t make you futile

At least? In 26 games, Minshew in his career has 37 TDs/ 11 INTs, completing 64% of his passes at 7 YPA. Minshew has 4 GWDs.

Meanwhile, Jones, through 38 games, has 45 TDs/ 29 INTs,
completing 63% of his passes at 6.6 YPA. Jones has 3 GWDs.

Those numbers tell me Minshew is a better, more productive QB than Jones.
Completely embarrassing that

How the giants didn’t get him when available. Unreal failure.
A mix of starters but mostly back ups  
LG in NYC : 1/8/2022 9:27 pm : link
A mix of starters but mostly back ups and either of these teams would blow the Giants squad out tomorrow if they played.
Could have had Minshew for a 5th  
Ned In Atlanta : 1/8/2022 9:27 pm : link
But they didn’t want to hurt DJs confidence and we were treated with 5 weeks of Mike Glennon in the second worst coached/most injured offense in the league. Thankfully the man responsible is “retiring” tomorrow
If the Giants got him  
Giants73 : 1/8/2022 9:28 pm : link
He would look awful just like anyone else who runs the poorly designed Giants offense.

But they don’t have 1/5th the culture the Giants do and you better bet that Carson Wentz isn’t calling the coach weekly begging to come back
Ahh, an Eagles Cowboys game thread.....  
John In CO : 1/8/2022 9:33 pm : link
Without reading any responses, let me guess how this is going:

Crazy that these teams are good and we suck...they drafted all good players and we drafted all bad players, we suck....wow look at the Cowboys/Eagles OLines...they can block and we cant...Eagles backup QB is better than Glennon...Eagles Back QB is better than Jones....all QB's are better than Glennon and most QB's are better than Jones...Jones sucks...Judge sucks (figured that would work its way in somewhere)....random non-Giant related comment about the actual game....we shoulda drafted player X (part 2)...Jones still sucks...everyone on the field sucks, and anyone who roots for either team sucks.

Am I close???:)

NorthCountryGiantsFan : 1/8/2022 9:49 pm : link
to watch 2 teams with virtually nothing to play for roll out a bunch of backups and look light years, and I mean light years, more competent than anything we've put on the field the last couple years....

broadbandz : 1/8/2022 9:49 pm : link
all you people really think these players would be good if drafted by NY? the answer is NO! They would get worse and worse every just like every rookie that comes into the system.

It really is amazing, or pathetic, that across multiple Head Coaches the organization has been completely incompetent in developing or improving any play really....I can't hardly think of one over the past several years outside maybe Julian Love, and even then, you wonder if he would be even better in another system.....

He might be a bargain FA pick up in the offseason for somebody. I like his game.
Did anyone ever explain why this game was flexed  
MetsAreBack : 1/8/2022 10:52 pm : link
? They could have put 49ers rams in this slot. Or even titans going for a 1 seed.

Both teams have nothing to play for. Snoozer. Odd choice other than looking for cowboys ratings I guess

So that's an indictment on coaching and the Giants organization. Thus, Judge needs to go. Why he's even considered for a 3rd year is beyond me.

Minshew is a replacement level backup QB, his ceiling is Ryan Fitzpatrick - passable starter on bad teams that can generate some offense. My original point was more the short sighted and piss poor roster construction in signing a useless retread like Glennon when you could have acquired Minshew for a late round draft pick. What did the Giants take in round 5, Brightwood? Has he even seen the field this year on an atrocious team? You trade practice squad level RBs for cost controlled backup QBs all day, especially when our QB1 has worse #s than said backup and is a constant injury risk. Piss poor roster construction.

He looks below average tonight and almost every throw has been high.

Eagles scored points based on how they always do, running the ball effectively.

Said it on the other thread......its a glorified exhibition game.
