The only way Jones sees much more time as a starter in this league is if we rehire Gettleman as GM.
Aside from Thomas, name anther player on the Giants who would played significant minutes over the last 2 years, who would start for any other NFL team.
I know Jones wouldn't, because he sucks. He's only here because of Cutcliffe. Had he gone to Princeton you and I never would have heard of him. That's why he's here...it was an immense turn of good fortune for him.

Way to avoid the question. Well done! I'll go even further, there are probably 4-6 guys who played significant minutes on offense the last 2 years who wouldn't even be on an NFL roster, let alone start for another team.

Precisely.
He was also thought enough of that he signed a 45 million dollar contract with the Bears
And if anyone knows QBs, it's a franchise that hasn't had a good one in 35 years and in a draft featuring both Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, traded up to draft Mitch Trubisky.
I don't think there is anything really wrong with Jones neck at all. I think after the Eagles game when they could not score , even after firing Garrett, they decided Jones and Judge would be back next year since it was not the line and the injuries were the problem. And they didn't want to risk Jones getting hurt in garbage time and behind that crap oline. If Judge didn't embarrass himself saying stupid stuff and didn't call those 2 stupid sneaks -- and if every GM I am sure theu interviewed were like "NO WAY , 10 wins I have to work with that!"
LMAO!!!
Just come to grips with this.
He is not a starting QB in the NFL. We can never win with a QB with his deficits. Never.
Don't make it an emotional issue, like mommy and daddy are getting a divorce. Don't make it a point of principle, as though you can't admit you got it wrong. All the evidence says he can't play.
We got rid of the GM.
We got rid of the HC.
Time to get rid of the QB. He shares equally in the dysfunction.

It's a stupid question. If Gettleman fucked up the rest of the roster why did he get Jones right?
Besides, if you knew anything about QB play you can see that Jones isn't good. The problems at Duke are still there, and they aren't the type to get better.
Don't get used to watching him play. That tedium is going away.

So you're saying that because DG made a lot of bad decisions, then it's impossible that he got Jones right? By that logic, Thomas is terrible and McKinney are terrible. For someone chiding my question as stupid, you undertake a stupid analysis. I would submit that claiming to know anything definitively about a QB with an abysmal offensive roster is, as you say, stupid. But I forgot you're always the smartest guy in the room. Must be nice.

He may be back next year, he's under contract. That could be as starter, or backup.
He could be traded.
Let's see what the next HC envisions for the team in 2022.
A lot to still unfold.
Sadly, we can't put them behind a line that had 4 guys who would not be on the field for any other team in the NFL in order to find out.
Well, if you believe Glennon and Fromm are "bum QBs off the street," then the answer is in my thread starter.

I think the point is not that Jones was better, but that the backups were so historically bad. ALso, Glennon while never a top 18 QB, has been serviceable most of his career, and he looked completely inept with the parade of horribles on the offense
Actually, the idea was to indeed compare Daniel Jones with Glennon and Fromm because all three experienced the same unique circumstances... playing behind a putrid O-line and throwing the ball to WRs who were either injured and/or replaced by several practice squad players. It's a clean comparison.

Let's just cut through all the BS - what's your central thesis here as it relates to Daniel Jones? Do you believe that he's going to be among the best 5-10 QBs in the NFL at any point in his career?
Because unless you believe that, there's no reason to engage in any discussion of his future with the Giants. You need an upper echelon QB in the NFL to be consistently competitive. If you don't have one, you need to find one.
Daniel Jones is near the bottom of NFL QBs. There's no comparison between him and the top tier at that position. None.

My Response:
If I had to venture a guess, he will not be a Top 5 QB because that is reserved for Superstars like Rogers, Brady, et. al. and Daniel Jones is simply NOT in that class. Could he be in Top 10? Dunno. But what I do know is that no one knows for certain what his top-end is? If I had to venture a guess -- maybe upper-middle of the pack?

My Response:
I would love an upper echelon QB as much as anyone, but I would love one in the context of a team that is half-way competent. I've seen Tom Brady and Aaron Rogers at their very peak, and I've also seen them when former Giants defenses compressed their pass pockets and put some serious hits on them. They didn't look like super-heroes then. In any event, there are very few super-hero QBs in the NFL, and finding them is no mean feat, so in the meantime I don't see the tragedy of Daniel Jones playing for the Giants in 2022.
Your Words:
Daniel Jones is near the bottom of NFL QBs. There's no comparison between him and the top tier at that position. None.
My Response:
I disagree. He is not near the bottom. Obviously, he does not compare well to guys like Tom Brady and Aaron Rogers... but who does? Your valuation of Daniel Jones has been clouded by the reality that he has played behind a pathetic O-line with WRs and TEs who are indeed near the bottom of the NFL.
Ok. Post stats that prove he's not near the bottom. I guarantee he's at the bottom of the league in passing yards per game and passing TDs the last 2 years? The team is at the bottom of the league in points scored?
Here's the problem with your argument...you use stats with really crappy QBs, as a comparison, to try to make DJ look not so crappy...but you dont want to use stats against the rest of the NFL that show he is, in fact, crappy. Compare his career numbers to Mitch Trubisky and then tell me he's an NFL starter.

Your argument assumes the same situation with a team playing for the same thing.
Can you really compare weeks 1-3 to weeks 16-18? This team has grown noticeably worse especially the offense in recent weeks. They had nothing to play for and it showed.
can you really compare a Golladay that was yelling at Garrett to the one we saw last week ; who looked like there were 1000 other places he'd rather be?

None of those teams will want Jones as a starter. Seriously. maybe as a backup.
Washington has a Daniel jones - his name is Heinecke. If they upgrade it will be a tier change, not a lateral move.
Denver has Bridgewater who is demonstrably better than Jones. And they want better. They want Aaron Rodgers not Jones.
Carolina tried the retread project with Darnold and failed. Ruhle is not now going to stake his career on another lousy QB.
New Orleans has Winston and Hill. Both are pretty bad, but both are better than Daniel Jones.

If you can only name four, then you think we need a new quarterback. And you'd be right.
the rookies will make a tier bump in the next year or two, If they don't they become stopgaps.
That's what Daniel Jones is. He is in the tier with transitory starters like Tyrod Taylor and backups like Trubisky.
He is nowhere near the tier of pretty good starters which includes Carr and Cousins. Nowhere near it.

Jameis Winston beat Aaron Rodgers 38-3. Mahomes lost to Tannehill. Josh Allen lost to Trevor Lawrence. What's your point?
You could put a traffic cone at quarterback and say it had a bad supporting cast and you might be right. It doesn't make the cone a good quarterback.
Daniel Jones isn't a good quarterback. Can't be more clear than that.
Dave Gettleman is a great GM
Joe Judge is a great HC
They just needed more time and better people around them in order to succeed.

You didn't even understand the point but were ready to defend Jones hjust the same. The question I have is Why?
Maybe I was not clear. This has not been the same team lately. The oline play was significantly better earlier in the season and the interest of the WR much higher. They have been totally checked out in recent weeks. Further more Jones got the opportunity to play 11 games . An opportunity he did not earn.
This season in head-to-head competition, Danile Jones beat Derek Carr and also out-performed him.

I think you know this is a lame argument. Superior QBs lose games to inferior QBs all the time. Earlier this season, Tom Brady lost a game to Taysom Hill. Do we really think that makes Taysom Hill better than Tom Brady? It's a fatuous, dishonest point you are making and wastes time.
If this is what you need to pump up Daniel Jones, then even you don't believe what you are saying.

BTW, Jones had a better QBR in the Chiefs game against Mahomes. Anyone want to make that swap?

You may not agree that he is bottom 10, but the numbers say he is. And it is a consistent set of numbers across his entire career.
This is a common tactic here. Say Jones isn't as good as brady or Rodgers but then say he belongs in the next tier.
He does not. He is nowhere close to the top12.
Please do us all a favor and go to Pro Football reference 2021 passing stats and sort each column, one at a time. Notice in almost every category Jones is btween 22 and 27.
Jones is not only, not in the Brady/rodgers convo.
he is not in the Herbert convo
He is not in the Burrow convo
he is not in the Wilson convo
he is not in the Cousins convo
He is not in the Carr convo
see I'm going far down the list now...
He is not even in the Garropolo convo
Tua has now passed Jones.
Soon Lawrence will pass Jones.
You might want to tie the neck of the Giants franchise to this anvil for another 5 years. It has to stop. He is our biggest problem.
Daniel Jones is a coach killer. And I am quite certain Joe Judge regrets ever agreeing that Jones should be the QB of this team.

Because unless you believe that, there's no reason to engage in any discussion of his future with the Giants. You need an upper echelon QB in the NFL to be consistently competitive. If you don't have one, you need to find one.
My Response:
I would love an upper echelon QB as much as anyone, but I would love one in the context of a team that is half-way competent. I've seen Tom Brady and Aaron Rogers at their very peak, and I've also seen them when former Giants defenses compressed their pass pockets and put some serious hits on them. They didn't look like super-heroes then. In any event, there are very few super-hero QBs in the NFL, and finding them is no mean feat, so in the meantime I don't see the tragedy of Daniel Jones playing for the Giants in 2022.
Your Words:
Daniel Jones is near the bottom of NFL QBs. There's no comparison between him and the top tier at that position. None.
My Response:
I disagree. He is not near the bottom. Obviously, he does not compare well to guys like Tom Brady and Aaron Rogers... but who does? Your valuation of Daniel Jones has been clouded by the reality that he has played behind a pathetic O-line with WRs and TEs who are indeed near the bottom of the NFL.
You may not agree that he is bottom 10, but the numbers say he is. And it is a consistent set of numbers across his entire career.
This is a common tactic here. Say Jones isn't as good as brady or Rodgers but then say he belongs in the next tier.
He does not. He is nowhere close to the top12.
Please do us all a favor and go to Pro Football reference 2021 passing stats and sort each column, one at a time. Notice in almost every category Jones is btween 22 and 27.
Jones is not only, not in the Brady/rodgers convo.
he is not in the Herbert convo
He is not in the Burrow convo
he is not in the Wilson convo
he is not in the Cousins convo
He is not in the Carr convo
see I'm going far down the list now...
He is not even in the Garropolo convo
Tua has now passed Jones.
Soon Lawrence will pass Jones.
You might want to tie the neck of the Giants franchise to this anvil for another 5 years. It has to stop. He is our biggest problem.
Daniel Jones is a coach killer. And I am quite certain Joe Judge regrets ever agreeing that Jones should be the QB of this team.
I understand how you feel about Daniel Jones, which can be summarized as follows:
(1) He sucks;
(2) Even with a good offensive line and a healthy set of fine receivers, he still would suck.
That is why I disagree with your opinion about Daniel Jones.
And your arguments are rooted in fantasy, speculation, and wishful thinking,
It's wishful thinking that got us into this mess.

Fact:. We have the bottom tier talent on the OLine and receiver corps. Compound that with terrible coaching and you get an offensive year like this. Every game we won this year was because of Jones
The Panthers oline is dreadful -- would you be willing to give Darnold the benefit of the doubt? Of course not. You say he sucks, and glad the Giants didn't draft him and , laugh at Rhule at Carolina for paying him. And at least you can say Darnold was a top prospect coming out.
So why doesn't that apply to jones as well? Especially considering new coach and GM will now have to inherit him like Judge did. 2 coaches ago!
It is rebuild time ; new GM time ; new coach time and yes new QB time. Especially considering that all the decent players on this team are free agents anyway so jones is the only thing to wheel and deal on roster moves.

Your opening statement is misguided, and like a few others on this thread you can only think of Daniel Jones in bi-modal terms -- either he sucks or he doesn't suck. You simply will not allow for any middle-ground or nuanced view of Daniel Jones.
In a similar vein, just because a poster is not in your "suck camp" -- that doesn't mean he must be a "Jones pumper." That's a very limited view of things and simply not how it works.
In any event, I see you mentioned that it's rebuild time with a new GM and a new HC, thus a new QB. In the link below you will see I started a thread this morning that speculated this point exactly, and I'm supposedly one of your "Daniel Jones "pumpers."

So we passed on herbert because we are committed to Jones and we are going to draft another QB in the top 10 but play Jones more?
And I am somehow obtuse because I am making Jones pumpers out to be irrational but, it is really me who irrational?
THere are backups in this league better than Jones. Glennon might not be one of them. But others are -- Minshew ; Kyle Allen even; A Dalton; Nick Foles just to name 4. But instead of acknowledging this you make a comparison to a Glennon or Fromm a fourth stringer they started because everyone else . So I am mis-characterizing that as pumping?
Why don't you answer the question-- why doesn't Darnold get this? Every argument oline etc can be made about Darnold.
