What happens if Tyrod outplays Jones in preseason?

eric2425ny : 8/2/2022 12:09 am
I know we are all so excited to see another Jones thread, lol, myself included. But honestly, reports are that he has struggled so far in camp. He has what the “experts” say are two creative offensive minds in Daboll and Kafka who have worked with arguably the leagues two top QB’s in Allen and Mahomes (I say arguably because Herbert looks like the real deal).

If he goes out and stinks up the joint in preseason they have to roll with Tyrod right? It’s year four, if the light hasn’t gone on yet it’s not happening.

I am not sure what you are getting at.

If the coaching staff feels Tyrod is the better QB to help win then he starts and Jones is the backup.

I hope that’s the case if that scenario plays out. If they end up rolling with Jones after that scenario potentially occurs it means one of two things:

1.) they are “tanking” to put themselves in a better position to draft a QB next April or

2.) Jones is still on scholarship per ownership.
if Jones can't outplay Tyrod Taylor  
Producer : 8/2/2022 12:53 am : link
then this has been an epic waste of time and a terrible miscalculation by management. Tyrod Taylor is not good - definitely not a top-20 QB.

People are making light of Jones throwing poorly in these practices. Great QBs make great throws routinely. That's just a fact. Even tight window throws. If Jones can't execute in practice, how will he do it during competitive games. And then how will he do it when the stakes are even bigger, like the playoffs.

the NYG quarterback of the future. If Jones doesn't become that this year, the Giants are getting a new guy for 2023. Whether Taylor ends up playing this year or not is pretty meaningless. He's not taking us to a SB, now or ever.

it's an extended practice, where coaches on both sides are experimenting and trying things, testing guys.

sure they want to play well, but it's a real low percentage of nfl coaches that put any real weight into those games.

Plus, teams are putting starters out there less and less (for most teams) and there's only 3 games.

Jones is the starter and will be all year barring the wheels totally coming off

maybe. but if he plays like shit he should and will be out. What is the point of watching Jones play terribly all season. It's not necessary.

Totally agree. This fan base has watched a lot of trash football the last several years. If Jones sucks, I’ll take your 6 down to after 4 games, put Tyrod in and let the season play out. Tyrod is a bridge QB, but he has the skills and experience to at least make a rebuilding year slightly more entertaining.

I’m not a Jones hater. I’ve defended him several times for the reasons you noted. However, I am very concerned that after an entire offseason under Daboll and Kafka he still seems to suck based on all reports I have seen thus far. It’s year 4, time to do something. If he sucks in preseason I’d rather see Taylor or Webb start week 1 as ridiculous as that sounds. We deserve better than this as fans.

if he plays great, which is what we all want, we will be happy. But if he plays like garbage, it's time to be realistic. QBs who have played poorly and continue to play poorly into their 4th season rarely emerge as champions. It is foolish to bet on low probability events. Game theory dictates we should be betting on high probability events. We don't have to watch 17 games of a failed QB, and squander another whole season with a coach killer. And I doubt Daboll will wait 17 games. Some of you seem to have a fetish for waiting on bad players to become good, at least in the case of Daniel Jones. Trust me, Dallas and Philly want us to wait with a bad QB. it's as though you think it is noble to lose with a QB that you drafted. At this juncture it is stupid. If he can't get it together soon, it is time to move on.

That is not true. There are plenty here who hate him and any success he has will destroy their built up narratives. There are fans actively rooting for his failure to feed their I am superior egos.

I am not defending Jones anymore, those days have passed but I don't want him to fail either. If he plays well and we win then yes fricking haw. If he plays poorly we look for a new QB in 23, kind of like I expect our plan has been all along since Schoen and Daboll were hired.

That is exactly how I feel about him. I have no I’ll will towards him whatsoever, he seems like a solid human being. He just doesn’t seem to have what it takes to be a consistent winner in the NFL, and he may go on to have moderate success with another team. As a fan I’m willing to give him this season to prove me wrong, but it’s not like I have a choice.

At any rate, I'm more concerned with TT being our QB for the 2023 season, which seems like a real possibility at this point.

With DJ, there's always this glint of hope even if it's unrealistic.

With TT, we're losing a lot of games and have to hope we lose enough to have a real shot in the draft.

As for the OP, I don't see Taylor starting week 1 for any reason other than a Jones injury. Jones will have every opportunity to learn the new system and execute what has been billed as a much better offense for QB's. There's no camp competition, IMO, Jones is the starter.

Disagree about practice. Dak Prescott has said he purposely throws passes in training camp that he would never throw in a game or hold the ball longer for someone to get open because any rep that results in throwing the ball away is a wasted rep.
If Jones is putrid and Taylor  
section125 : 8/2/2022 7:40 am : link
looks good, Taylor will start. It is a rebuild year, but they would need a functional offense to let the other players grow and be assessed. So if Jones is holding the rest of the offense back, he will sit.

Now, unless I am having a senior moment or two, Taylor did not have a wonderful day yesterday(I also don't remember any reporter praising him) - believe all the QBs have been marginal. Also, Daboll said he wants Jones to just throw the ball into tight windows during camp to show him what he can and cannot do. Basically, just let it fly. It also lets Kafka and Daboll show him on tape, what he is doing wrong. I am sure he has developed bad habits the last two years.

This is a new offense - like the Gilbride offense, the QB and WRs need to be on the same page. If either one reads something different, the play is fubar.

I am certainly not expecting Jones to be seriously better than what we have seen. But I think I would let them get about 3 weeks into camp, when they have all had a chance to learn the play book and build a chemistry before throwing anymore dirt on the grave.

Again, I do not expect much different from Jones, but let's see what Kafka and Daboll can do with the offense.

Daboll is not married to Jones

Doesn’t really matter, imo.  
Big Blue '56 : 8/2/2022 7:45 am : link

Chocco : 8/2/2022 7:51 am : link
There are few meaningful snaps against you opponent's starters anymore in the preseason. IMO That makes it much harder for a second String QB to overtake a designated starting QB. You can't really compare them if they are not playing against the same level of competition.
But don't worry you will likely see both this year as both have a hard time staying on the field.

Where, exactly, did anyone of any value say it was real interest? All we get are quips from people nobody heard of and a reporter or two regurgitating. One of the more trust worthy beats say it isn't there.

Never say never, but it makes absolutely no sense to pursue a QB as a rental on a team strapped for cash, building from the draft but trading draft picks for that rental. It seems absolutely incongruous to what Schoen is doing. He is trying to dump salaries and survive the year.
Jones is going to play  
Biteymax22 : 8/2/2022 8:13 am : link
and start unless he gets hurt. Like it or not for what it means for this year, we're making nothing but long term decisions right now.

Tyrod Taylor's long term plan is placeholder next year while we find a new QB.

If Jones sucks, they're going to let him suck so it nets us a higher draft pick and Daboll can get "his guy". They're not going to put Taylor in to try and be mediocre.
 
christian : 8/2/2022 8:26 am : link
If anyone watched Taylor in Houston at all last year, the prospect of him outplaying Jones is both far-fetched and terrifying.

Taylor is an older, slower version of a once bottom tier NFL starter.

He’s not Mike Glennon. But he’s closer to that guy than he is a legit NFL starter.

How "real" the preseason is may be up for debate but what isn't is the fact that MANY personnel decisions are made largely based on preseason play. If Jones struggles in the preseason, it will, and should, be seen as a sign that he isn't the guy. Whether Daboll has the green light to make a switch is the greater question.

I don't think people are ragging on Jones for not being elite they are ragging on him for being just plain bad. They are saying he needs to be elite to justify the contract that Mara seems itching to give him based on how terrible he's been. Huge difference.

And it's an odd point about Taylor, TT's biggest problem is that his play has dropped off and he's been injured. At his peak he was a pro bowler. So yeah if you are comparing the peaks TT is going to do way better by that assessment which is why it is a strange framework to choose in support of DJ.

suck because he hasn't become elite after 3 seasons are advocating for Taylor, a guy who hasn't become elite after 11 seasons. I'm not saying anyone is wrong about Jones, but how about a little intellectual consistency



Why is 'elite' the standard here?


Elite is just a word that's bandied about here. The word doesn't matter. What matters is the perception of can he take this team to a Super Bowl or not.

Four new offensive lineman, all new TEs, first time OC, first time head coach, new system.

Does anyone think there are high odds the offense gels early?
Let me make it clear for you

There is ZERO, 0%, absolutely NO CHANCE, that Tyrod Taylor starts the season over a healthy DJ.

Would suggest that Tyrod just outplaying Jones in the preseason  
NYGgolfer : 8/2/2022 10:34 am : link
shouldn't mean Jones is benched.

However, if it is because Jones is stinking up camp and his preseason time, then Daboll shouldn't be forcing a bad decision as a first year Head Coach.

If Taylor is better in preseason, he should start  
Heisenberg : 8/2/2022 10:44 am : link
Jones is rightly on his last leg here. I think he will outplay Taylor but if he doesn't he should sit. No one here is married to him being a success anymore.
I think Jones will start  
Jim in Forest Hills : 8/2/2022 10:47 am : link
but will get a quick hook (like 3 games)
Look, I have not exactly been easy on Jones, but the expectations  
Matt M. : 8/2/2022 10:50 am : link
are too extreme. Too many here seem to think he sucks or he's going to be top 10. The reality is he falls somewhere in between. That said, I really think he has to be elite to get a 2nd contract here. But, I do think he will get a shot to start somewhere else if we don't re-sign him and I could see him having some success.

I do think Taylor should be given a chance to compete this year. Long term, he won't be in the plans. But, as a cheap QB who is signed for next year, he has value to the franchise either as a continued backup for Jones or as a bridge to the next attempt at a franchise QB. He should be here next year regardless, while Jones has to earn next year. So, if Taylor is really significantly better this summer, he should start, which would essentially end the Jones era. If Jones is better he should start and then let Schoen, Daboll, and Kafka determine what next year brings for him.

Yep many said it at the time but you honestly can't play Taylor if you are Daboll. Even if he does outplay Jones. You show up your owner. Even if Jones looks like hot garbage he is going to start probably at least the first 6 games unless he gets injured.

It's the same mistakes that have been made, hopefully those are on the way out but this Chris Mara title BS has me concerned.

The big issue to me is evaluating other players.

I want to know if a better QB can make Golladay useful so we don't have to eat dead money next year when we have a bunch of cap space.

I want to know what we have in Toney and Robinson.

I'd LOVE to showcase Barkley to trade him.

Honestly it will be hard to get a good read on even what we have in our young T's because Jones has some of the worst pocket awareness I've ever seen.

It's weird, but his worst throws seem to consistently be to Golladay. I think Golladay doesn't get that same separation as some of these new WRs with more wiggle. But, Jones doesn't seem to know how to put it where Golladay can make the plays.
There’s been no indication of a QB competition......  
Simms11 : 8/2/2022 11:14 am : link
I think it’s Jones job this year regardless of results. If he stinks, then he might put the team in a position to draft a top QB anyway. At this point, I think only way Taylor starts is if Jones gets hurt again.
Golladay  
HomerJones45 : 8/2/2022 11:15 am : link
is 4-6" taller and 20-30 lbs heavier than the db's. He is by definition "separated". The qb needs to get him the ball where Golladay can make a play on it and not wait for "space". WTF do you people think Daboll was talking about in saying he wants Jones to "take more chances"?

I hope it’s DJ otherwise we are forking out another first round draft pick for a QB. I am not sold on either as of yet, and Taylor has had more than enough chances to prove himself. I am happy we have a decent backup now it’s been a while.
Is it me or does Taylor throw sidearm a lot? In watching a lot of his videos not just this camp seems like he does it a lot.

Also, this is a new system (yet again) that DJ needs to acclimate to so he may in fact look shitty as they try out new things, beyond the normal shitty many of you believe is DJ.


I think Jones sucks but I'd rather see him get 4-6 games and bomb than Taylor out there to start the year.

We aren't winning anything this year. Let's be sure Jones isn't the answer rather than have Taylor play so we can maybe win an extra game or two.

First camp in reid offense  
Giants73 : 8/2/2022 2:52 pm : link
You can find these with almost every qb, look at Brady in 2018 and first year with Bucs. Look at Stafford’s last year with Lions.

Training camp is used as a tool. Need to see what you can get away with and sync up with the pass catchers.

Already mentioned there is flexibility in the routes so QB and WR will need to get to know what one another is thinking. Jones’ problems have been fumbling and holding the ball too long. Neither will be noticeable at practice. With no QB contact, and playing through potential sacks.

Is that Tyrod is going to outplay Jones in camp. I believe he is the better and more accomplished player. In 2009 Taylor was #1 NCAA in Y/PA at 9.5 out of the ACC. The resume's speak for themselves.

By no means do I want to suggest Taylor may one day end up on the footsteps of Canton, but by every sound metric except completion %, Taylor has been a better NFL QB than Jones.

And when healthy, Taylor is a pretty good runner, too.

So, it would be absolutely no surprise if Taylor outplays Jones in camp.

This is Tyrod’s 6th team in 11 seasons. His resume does speak for itself, he is a career journeyman who at best could be Ryan Fitzpatrick one day. He will not outplay sh!t.

Give it up, Jones will be the starter this year. If he screws the pooch, they will draft someone next year. Thyroid is only heat incase Jones gets injured as usual.

Taylor has been a journeyman - true. But he's still been a better QB than Jones. Good luck disputing that.

I agree that Jones is the starter. The point that was made was that it shouldn't surprise anyone if Taylor outplayed Jones.
2017 Buffalo season  
Lines of Scrimmage : 8/2/2022 6:26 pm : link
This was a playoff team. Taylor received a Pro Bowl though it may have been one of those alternates. Lets see the data:

Buffalo offense: 302 y/g Pass Yards 176 y/g RY 126/g 30 att/g
18.9 pts/game

Buffalo defense: 355 y/g allowed 230/124 allowed pass/run
22.4 pts allowed

My first thought is how the heck did they make the playoffs and how was he in the Pro Bowl? Then upon closer inspection they had the 30 rushing attempts (good things happen) and plus 9 in turnovers. The HC deserves a lot of credit putting that team in the playoffs.

Taylor 15 games 263/420 62% 2799 yards 6.7 ypa 186 y/g 14 TD/4 int. Rushing: 84 carries 427 yards 5.1/attempt

He threw 35 passes his first four years in the league.

Seems like a pretty pedestrian QB but I look forward to seeing him in the preseason.

Regardless as most reasonable fans acknowledge its time for Jones to step up. Taylor certainly is not the answer and Jones will only have himself to blame if he is outperformed which I don't see happening but best man plays.



If Tyrod outplays Jones in the preseason then we should

I can't stand when John starts opining on some specific player/team @ large. John, just write the checks & STFU. Earlier this offseason, he came out & said he expects a much better record this season than last season. Why in God's name would you say something like that aloud to the media? & yes, 4-13 isn't a high bar, but look @ our roster/first year head coach.

John really needs to just keep his thoughts to himself.

Jerry in_DC : 8/2/2022 8:26 pm : link
due to age and theoretical upside. Jones is bad but its hard to envision Taylor outplaying him by that much.

Taylor is the definition of a mediocre placeholder QB. But he can do 2 things - protect the ball and scramble. In those areas he is better than Jones. Note Jones is faster but he is not good at scrambling.

I can't stand watching Jones play and I can't wait until he's going. But realistically it make sense to give him at least 4-6 games before going to Taylor

Ditto. Because the NFL is so QB centric, there is nothing worse than watching a game with bad QB play. It just ruins the experience.

Football is still a team game in the sense you still need both sides of the ball to perform. But the rules have dramatically shifted to where a QB has more opportunities than ever to impact the game. Consequently, the game is mostly a QB game...
 
christian : 8/2/2022 9:42 pm : link
^ Bingo.

I’ve posted this before. I thought the rule changes would make QB less important.

But what happened is defenses don’t prioritize the kill shots anywhere on the field now. It’s a game of applying just enough pressure, and trying to outwit QBs in coverage.

The QBs who make now either need to create time with their legs, or read the openings quickly.
I don't except any excuses for QBs,  
Kev in Cali : 8/2/2022 9:55 pm : link
but will accept the fact that we still have a starting QB in Jones until we play in games that matter.

If he turns to crap, then move Tyrod, after him, we're F'd.

This chatter from camp is just that, let's watch a preseason game...maybe??? Before posting judgment???
