Emory Hunt on QB Daniel Jones in OTAs

Anakim : 6/12/2022 5:01 pm
“I strongly believe the Giants should move on from Daniel Jones. We’ve seen a lot of INTs in practice. The big elephant in the room is seeing Tyrod Taylor do things in practice that Jones is struggling with” - Emory Hunt (CBS Sports)

me confused... there haven't been a lot of interceptions in OTAs/mini-camp. In fact, I don't think there was a single interception by any QB during the mini-camp.

Was Hunt even there?
good question Eric.  
ATL_Giants : 6/12/2022 5:16 pm : link
I don't know who E Hunt is, but reading through his twitter feed, it looks like he's trying to cover a LOT of teams, more than just the NFL.

My guess is his insider info is a mile wide and an inch deep.
I just checked  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 6/12/2022 5:18 pm : link
Jones did not throw a pick in the mini-camp.

He threw two interceptions during the OTA on May 26 (one came on a play where Richie James slipped out of his cut and the other was when David Sills dropped/tipped the ball into the air).

Jones overthrew one ball during the OTA on May 19 that was intercepted.

He was not picked off during the OTA on June 2nd.

So there has been one interception on Jones in the five practices open to the media.

Hunt sounds like a clown who is trying to create a story.

I think he was there because he has pictures and videos from the pressers, but yeah, that is odd.

Hunt is an avowed Jones hater. Never misses an opportunity to take a shot at Jones (perhaps at times warranted) even though his commentary is generally pro-Giants otherwise.
So Hunt has a hard-on to make Jones seem like and report  
Jimmy Googs : 6/12/2022 5:49 pm : link
that he is a lesser QB in camp. I don’t know anything thing about him.

But why would that be...just to get clicks?
Everyone is a critique  
SleepyOwl : 6/12/2022 5:49 pm : link
Daniel Jones will be criticized as long as he’s a QB in the most prominent media market in the world. WE (capital we) dragged Eli Manning through the mud and all he did was beat TB in a Super Bowl… TWICE.

Hunt is recently a guy who said Hurts was better than Herbert because the Eagles were in the playoffs. I would not pay much attention to this guy.

not saying we are not going to hear some say we have a QB controversy.

But Hunt is not basing that on what has transpired in the practices that he has been able to attend.

If he was smarter, he would have not said Jones has been throwing a lot of picks (because he hasn't). He would have simply said the back-up(s) have been sharper.

So even if he was trying to stir up shit, he's really bad at it.

the ultimate shit-stirrer, Pat Leonard, has not said what Hunt has said either.

The reporters are always focused on one thing - because it's the easier thing to follow - interceptions.

Now there have been interceptions in the 7 OTAs that are not open to the public. But Hunt was not at those.

He does watch a lot of film but he often has some outrageous takes. I’ve known of him for a long time. He does a lot of work for FCS football. He’s very big on the smaller school prospects around draft time. He’s an interesting listen around draft time but I don’t put much stock into his takes.

His commentary only specifically mentions interceptions.

Again, have no idea who he is, but you can't take him seriously based on his commentary given Jones has thrown one interception in the five open media OTAs that was on him.

As I said above, if he said, "Taylor simply has been more accurate" then I'd take him more seriously.

But when you say something obvious untrue, I can't take you seriously.

May look fine in shorts and these practices.

But he isn't a good QB. He did nothing last year to impress anyone and when you watch his breakdowns from 2021, you don't want him starting any games this season.

But continue.

This is absurd. It could very well be that Jones is not the guy, but I don't believe that even the Jones haters think that this team is ever going deep into the playoffs with Taylor. There is no reason to give Taylor the job. If Jones sucks, his replacement is not on the roster.

Not sure if he has other comments but the OP includes a third sentence that isn’t really referring to interceptions. It is a broader comment.

Again, what would be the motivation here...clicks?

His motivation?

I have no idea.

People are subjective by nature.

But interceptions are quantifiable. He didn't specifically mention what other criteria he is talking about. I think Taylor has scored more with his feet in the red zone, but I didn't notice any trends that one QB was playing better than the other in practice.

The Giants have a bunch of reporters who cover the team. Not one of them has said, "Taylor is out-playing Jones." (Mind you, I'm a guy who argued when we signed Taylor that I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor did out-play Jones).

I think you named Tyrod as a guy you would like to see start if the Giants got rid of Jones. But anyway.

Browns start off horrible, Tyrod included, they stink and can't move offensively. He's benched and Baker gets the offense to perform better. Same story went for Houston. A mid round rookie looked miles better.. We supposed to be impressed by beating Jacksonville? He had a "win" over the Titans where his offense had 107 net pass yards and 190 total. He's done, and hopefully if Jones is gone next year, he doesn't play once the rookie is brought in.

Jones is better than Taylor. Not that it is saying much, but well.

Maybe Hunt is talking about getting in the end zone more frequently with his last comment then. Arm+Legs...however it gets done.

Whatever...not sure flat out dismissal is required here. I am fine if there is clear grounds for an obvious grudge or click demand which is why I asked.

Clearly. Schoen not entirely taking sides, but giving Jones and his defenders enough rope to hang themselves.

In the meanwhile, rebuild the trenches and amortize down the bad contracts.

Rebuild Part 1...

Schoen knows what he has in Taylor.
