He was better than Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm?  
Greg from LI : 1/12/2022 10:10 am : link
Wow! Sign that man to an extension immediately.

Glennon is a bottom-tier QB who I wouldn't be surprised to see out of football now, and Fromm is a practice squad guy who clearly is not an NFL QB. Being better than them isn't the ringing endorsement you seem to think it is.
Great...  
rsjem1979 : 1/12/2022 10:11 am : link
Now how did he perform relative to his peers on other NFL teams?
What is the purpose of this?  
Mike from Ohio : 1/12/2022 10:12 am : link
You are comparing him to two guys who don't belong in the NFL. I think everyone knows this.

Jones is much better than Glennon and Fromm. You could say that about 40 QBs in the NFL.
I like Daniel Jones more than most  
simgiant : 1/12/2022 10:12 am : link
However I think he is not the answer.
The things that he is not good at are hard to coach. He runs fast but he is not athletic. He has no fluidity in his movement. He doesn't feel the pass rush well. Basically he does not have "it". It's hard to explain but when you watch other QBs play, things are more fluid. Probably good enough to have a winning record On a good team but that's it IMO.
Yes...

This offense was like the 99 Rams when DJ was behind center...
Daniel Jones looked like a Pro-Bowler by comparison  
George from PA : 1/12/2022 10:14 am : link
either way, Jones must have actual competition in camp and next season.....if nothing else...to be available when he gets hurt.

Jones is far superior to Fromm/Glennon. I think he's going to be a low-end starter/high-end backup in the league.
Any decision about Jones is downstream from other key moves.  
Big Blue Blogger : 1/12/2022 10:18 am : link
The easy part is declining his Year 5 option. Beyond that, I personally favor bringing him to camp and letting him compete, but I have no strong feeling either way. We can't even assess system fit until a new staff is assembled.
Well...

I like DJ, but I believe that his future in NY is, at best, as a place holder for a 2023 rookie or FA. (assuming that he's healthy)

Adjusted net yards per attempt is a better metric than YPA or completion percentage.

Jones was 5.62

Herbert was 6.95
Burrow was 7.51, 5.72 his rookie year
Fields was 4.24
Haskins was 4.25 and 4.15 in his WFT days


Glennon 2.00 and Fromm .94

I agree with you 100%. (But my narrative was not to beat the drum for Daniel Jones long term.) I think you hit the nail on the head about him as a placeholder in 2023. And if he somehow, someway really lights it up and impresses the new regime, then maybe there's a future for him here. But I suspect new blood will demand a new QB.
the problem was that we had to play Fromm or Glennon

Jones is part of the Gettleman debacle.

Jones is not the one, time to move on. His upside is a decent back up QB.
Daniel No TD Jones  
averagejoe : 1/12/2022 10:25 am : link
is a QB. That means his job is to direct TD drives. That almost never happens. His one offensive TD per game looks better than Glennon's zero TD's ? Is this the point you are making ?

The game is too fast for No TD Jones. If a competent NFL vet QB is brought in DJ will sit .

Justlurking : 1/12/2022 10:33 am : link
to show what he has. Have no problem drafting a QB and they must also bring in a legit backup/competition for him. I truly believe it was impossible to objectively review jones bc the scheme was such a poor fit for him. If its daboll, we'll be able to tell really quickly whether Jones has a future or not. Either way, he's cost controlled and better than most alternatives so he will be one of the Giants QBs (barring a trade obviously).

exactly. he is still an asset and you dont just discard it. If new regime wants to blow him out and trade him, fine. But they're not going to just cut the guy.
This stat  
eugibs : 1/12/2022 10:34 am : link
isn't quite doing the work the other stats are doing, no?

TDs per 100 Passing Attempts
Daniel Jones 2.8
Glennon/Fromm 2.2
Jones Advantage +26%

These stats generally confirm my impression that with Jones, the Giants had some success moving the ball, but could not score touchdowns. With the other two, the Giants could not move the ball and obviously could not score touchdowns. Glennon and Fromm are not NFL players. Jones is probably a solid backup.

Your point is well taken. I think part (not all) of the TD pass problem was that we had zero threat of the run game in the red zone, and a lot of our WRs were out or hampered with injuries. That said, I'm not gonna defend Daniel Jones' paltry TD pass total. That's for sure.

Just for the record, I think Jones can go elsewhere and succeed. He was also dealt a bad hand coming into the league from a small school and playing with bad receivers, TEs and a OL with four backups.

This stat shows Jones may or may not be the answer. But he also isn't nearly as bad as others have been.

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.
What this does for me  
JB_in_DC : 1/12/2022 10:42 am : link
is reinforce how insane it was to go into this season with that backup QB situation in a year they expected to compete, and had a QB who has missed time in his previous two seasons.

We had a brilliant BBIer tell us yesterday that Jones had a lower INT% than Herbert and Allen.

Suggesting, of course, that Jones is in their category.

Or "primary targets being being Pettis, Colin JOhnson, and Board" factor.

I don't think anyone on this Board has asserted that they know for certain Jones is the QB of the future. Only that it is impossible to tell when primary offensive player when he played were: Skura, Price, Hernandez, Solder, Johnson, Pettis, and Board, who are likely bottom 5 at their respective positions in the league. Along with a raft of players at the 50th percentile at best, such as Engram, Rudolph, and Booker. In other words, aside from Thomas, name one other player on offense would would start for any other team in the league.
Glennon is not an NFL player  
armstead98 : 1/12/2022 10:54 am : link
Yet he’s been in the league 9 years, cut it with this crap.

Jones is better than a career backup, that’s fine to say. It doesn’t mean he has to be the answer going forward or that he’ll be great.

Things don’t need to be black or white.
even if you don't want Jones going forward  
LG in NYC : 1/12/2022 11:02 am : link
how can some people here not even acknowledge that the complete and utter shitshow that has been the Giants the past 2 years may have contributed to what we have seen from Jones to date?

As others have noted, Glennon was at least a legit backup until he got to NY (I believe at one point an NFL team gave him a sizable contract to start for them)... so it should be fairly obvious that trying to make a final determination about any Giant QB the past year or so is silly.

anyway, I don't care if we cut him, trade him or have him compete with another QB next year... I have no emotional investment at this point... but the blinders on some people here is staggering.

Your Words:

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?

Your Words:
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.

My valuation of Daniel Jones is based on the fact that he's never been great in his entire life as a QB. He's not instinctive. He's got an average arm and a long delivery. He's not elusive as a runner.

Honestly, what are his PLUS attributes? And if his ceiling (as you suggest) is "upper middle" what are we even talking about? Find someone better.
Jones has 37 career starts  
Go Terps : 1/12/2022 11:16 am : link

Garrett hinder this offense so he didn’t have the luxury of Fat Freddie. Didn’t work out here, will be QB next year and move on to have a Ryan Tannehill type career.
I think the Giants are stuck with Jones  
Rudy5757 : 1/12/2022 11:21 am : link
next year for better or for worse. As of right now there isnt a clear better option. The draft looks bare of top 10 talent. We need a vet backup to compete with Jones in camp and may the best man win.

I dont think we need him to be a top 5 QB, yes that would be nice but I think he could be between 10-15 which is pretty good and puts him in the playoff group most days.

Im all for brining in an upgrade but I dont see that answer out there. Is a Garapolo an upgrade? Hes going to cost a lot. I see him probably on the similar level to Jones.

Jones was not the main problem with this O. It was the lack of consistent talent around him and a dreadful OL. Our playcalling was terrible too. It was just a complete mess.

I think season 1 of the new regime needs to be brining ina supporting cast with the draft capital that we have. We should be able to get 2 future studs and 2 additional starters from this draft. This new regime has the chance to set this franchise up with a team of young talent. We basically got nothing out of this past draft except for Ojulari. Hopefuly Toney comes around and we have a few other pieces take a leap and we are back in business. Dont rush the QB situation if its not there.
Not only did he outplay his backups this season  
giantBCP : 1/12/2022 11:24 am : link

True, he has never been "great," but he had a pretty good rookie season; indeed, some of his rookie stats were quite strong.

As for him not being "instinctive," I tend to agree... he seems to get mechanical, and his movement skills are not what I would call "fluid."

He does have a long delivery, but I disagree about his arm strength. He has plenty of arm, although I think his arm strength is negated somewhat on the run because maybe he is somewhat stiff in his movements.

My fundamental disagreement is that you have a bi-modal view of Daniel Jones, which is in full evidence with this statement of yours:

"And if his ceiling (as you suggest) is "upper middle" what are we even talking about?"

It's almost as though you are saying, "If he isn't great, I don't want him!" But that's not realistic. In any given season, teams win all the time without having a Top 5 or Top 10 QB. IMO, Daniel Jones had plenty of talent to be a winning QB, but not with a franchise that has no O-Line nor any real viable threat at TE and WR.

If Glennon or Fromm were even "less than average"  
mikeinbloomfield : 1/12/2022 11:37 am : link
quarterbacks, maybe this analysis would make sense. But they are both historically bad and set records for per-game futility. With Fromm at least we can say this is first NFL action. But the reason for that is he stinks. Glennon has always been bad and the guy who thought he would be a good backup on a team with a young, unproven QB had to think it was a joke.

But this analysis says Daniel Jones is better than the worst QBs to start for the Giants since the forward pass. Whoop de doo. I'm sorry you wasted your time on this.

Everyone should be on board with whatever the new GM decides to do about the QBs. The last admin got the most important part of the roster as wrong as you can get it.

And why don't we use Glennon's when Jones first started when Glennon had like a 100 rating. And even then ; so what?

That is so lame to prove some shitty little point about Jones that you have to pick on Glennon; a guy who started 3 games ; had top play with a concussion in the first one and broke his wrist and needs surgery in the 3rd one when this team basically gave up and got the coach fired.

So lame. Jones sucks. We've seen Glennon play better. Where did you see Jones play better except in the minds eye of some alternate universe where rookie QBs shed their warts of 39 turnovers and only 3 wins but still keep up the meaningless stats.

Ahhh... I don't think anyone on this thread is suggesting THAT. But there is a decent chance Daniel Jones is the New York Giants starter for the opening game of the 2022 Season. Perhaps what we should be most concerned about: He starts behind a line comprised of Skura-Price-Hernandez-Solder.
