I expect a big year which will surprise many. The OL and skill positions around him have been beyond awful the past 3 years.

PAIN!

this is his last year with the Giants.

But think he will lead us to a total of 7 wins —- then we all go what to do??? One more year of Daniel Jones

i'll say similar to his rookie year numbers but a slightly higher completion% because he's continued to improve that over time and this offense seems likely to scheme a lot of short completions (with a more normal amount of fumbles).

as a rookie jones threw for 233 yards per game with 5.2% td rate and 2.6% int. both have since gone backwards but i think both rounded down slightly are reasonable expectations in daboll's offense and with better weapons than rookie slayton and golden tate. his preseason this year was very reminiscent of his first preseason with Shurmur where he completed 80%+.

in the last 2 years buffalo averaged 600 passing attempts and KC was even higher than that, both discounted by the 2020 season being 16 games, so plugging in 600 passing attempts you'd get:

30 tds, 15 ints, 4k yards, 6.6 y/a (which is also his career average).

will he play all 17 games? will they win more? will it be good enough to get another year? not sure but i think that's a fairly reasonable baseline to hope for. it's basically what Carson Wentz and kirk cousins did last year.

Not expecting much. Hoping I'm wrong.

I think we're drafting our next QB next spring.

Franchising Daniel next season,

That’s my take. I think Schoen & Daboll are excited to draft their own guy. Jones will be better this year though as a product of Daboll’s system. Nowhere near enough to bring him back though imo.
Link - ( New Window )

Throws 20 tds and 17 ints. 3600 yards passing. 400 yards rushing and 2 tds. Giants go 7-10.

22 passing tds. 24 total.

Is points scored. At some point we’re gonna need to score around 400 points again. Qb stats can be misleading. Points scored usually isn’t.

That Tyrod Taylor is the starting QB by game 6

That’s my prediction

23 tds 13 picks. 3812 yards

Will also rush for 400 yards and 5TD

I think as long as Jones is healthy, he's the starter. I don't see any upside to replacing him with Taylor. And I think as long as Jones is healthy, he's better than Taylor, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's good enough to be the starter in '23. Time will tell. However Jones plays, Taylor is not the future of this franchise.

Week 2

2650 yards
28 passing TDs, 15 Ints
475 rushing yards
3 Rushing TDs

8 wins

Will you take a $100 bet on this?

just take your meds and relax. DJ will do what he will do.mHe’ll be better than many here think he will be. But stop this insane focus of everything he does.

I agree with Eric in the sense I think it'll look more similar to his rookie year numbers-wise. I think he'll finally eclipse 25 TD this year.

My prediction for his line (if he plays a full slate...)

27 TD, 10 INT, ~3500 yards, 65% cmp%

I don't think Jones sucks. I think he's capable of solid play if he's getting decent protection and has a bit of a run game with Barkley to support him. I just don't think he's a championship-caliber QB.

Regardless, I'm rooting for him and hope he has a great year.

I should probably add rushing numbers, since I just talked about how important I believe that component of his game is in another thread...

I'm going to say he'll accumulate 60 rush attempts for ~450 yards and 3 TD.

5 fumbles.

9 ints
8 rush td
68% completions
10 wins
3 year contract extension

This is solely on the 2022 season. Not if you add up his numbers for 2020, 2021 and 2022.

is he has a great year, not a good one, dismissing any doubts about his ability to win with, and is signed long term. That and 15 or so new BBI IDs to replace their old ones.

28 Passing TD's
3750 Passing YDS
12 Int's
500 rushing yds
7 rushing TD's
9 wins

4 yr deal

BBI blows up!

So franchise tag Jones, Barkley or LW again?

In the limited time Daboll and Schoen have been here...

They tried to get Mitch Trubisky to play here. They called the Seahawks about Russ Wilson despite having no money but, we're actually turned down because they wanted Drew Lock from the Broncos; which goes to show what other GMs feel about him that they would rather have a Drew Lock than Daniel Jones. Shoen also went to see Ohio State game in person. To top it off, Jones 5th year option has been declined...but that still doesn't stop a dozen or so of BBIers still doubling down/ tripling down on their take that Jones had this great rookie year and it was x, ,y , z fault that this guy can't play.

3500 yards 30 tds 12ints and a good completion percentage..

I think he will have a good year but achoen and Daboll still go and get their own guy..

I think for Jones to stay he is going to habe to have an incredible year not just good

The proof will be in the numbers this year. No more excuses, he has an offense now that he and Barkley should succeed in. If it does not happen they will be looking for a new QB next year. If we are looking for a new QB it will mean another awful season. As a fan hope springs eternal before the start of each season.

As others have said, if he’s healthy he’s starting. Nothing else makes any sense. If he starts all 17 games?

3,500 passing yards, 800 rushing, 20 TDs, 17 ints, 17 fumbles 6 wins 11 losses

Given the rule changes Gardner Minshew if he played 17 games for Jacksonville Jaguars would put up 4000 yards passing and have 30 TDs.

He is by pretty much every coach in the NFL assessment -- including Jacksonville's who benched him -- not starting caliber QB in the NFL.... Even appearing behind Joe Flacco on the Eagles depth chart.

He starts all 17 games and puts up pedestrian numbers in that time.

Something along the line of:
3700 yards
24 tds
13 ints
Poor ypa
400 yards rushing
4 tds

2650 yards 28 passing TDs, 15 Ints 475 rushing yards 3 Rushing TDs 8 wins

In a 17-game season, I really don’t believe that these numbers will get 8 wins UNLESS Barkley reaches his rookie year stats and basically carries the team, kind of like how Henry carries the Titans. With those combined stats, the team could be looking at 10 wins.

Why not?

you are still in denial over how bad he is. He is incapable of opening it up without making killer mistakes. He is like Trubisky, only worse. If he doesn't open it up it's:

15TDs / 12 Ints 3200 yards

If he does open it up it's:

24TDs 21Ints a bunch of fumbles 4000 yards.

But chances are he misses 4 games, so all lower.

And next year we are drafting a QB.

Still not good enough for Joe Schoen, so Daniel beats feet to Tampa Bay in FA, leads the Bucs to a Super Bowl win and rides off into the sunset with Giselle.

5000 yards, 40 TDs, 10 INTs, 350 rushing yards with 3 TDs.

Let the games begin!

Have to love the enthusiasm here.

So his INTs were never really a problem(and even then Engram probably was the reason for 1/3 of them), but 1st season fumbles certainly were. Since then, the fumbles are down. And since he won't be getting a DT in his face 1.5 secs every play after the snap and not likely a DE/ER gets to him on his blind side(courtesy of Mr Thomas) I think the fumbles drop further.

I have not a clue was to what he will do because I simply do not and I have no clue as to what Kafka/Daboll will have him do, either.

But he will play out the year and likely be allowed to go FA. If he has a really good season, they can reclaim him at a reduced price from FA as I doubt he gets more than backup offers from other teams.

I thought last year was the no more excuses year?

I agree totally DJ. Jones can turn the corner this year, especially with a 21st century offensive scheme (finally). We now have YAC receivers and a HC and OC who know how to move the ball with a diverse attack.

I'm perfectly on the fence with this guy. I wouldn't be surprised if he stunk again, and I wouldn't be surprised if he had a Pro Bowl-type year.

good enough stats to be tempting to sign but not good enough to deserve a giant contract?

4000 yards 24 TDs 8 picks

A good enough year to earn a prove it year. Tag or short term deal.
The past two years cannot be erased, but if he has a good year we’re looking at something like seven wins. That means drafting outside of the top ten. Not good enough for a top QB. Especially when Houston and Seattle will probably be drafting ahead of us, and both have more ammunition to trade up if needed. As for FAs, the only QB with an expiring contract who’s better than DJ (or at least more upside) is Lamar Jackson. And while we have the cap space to compete, Baltimore is in a comparable position, and would likely franchise him if they can’t agree on a new deal.
Ergo, if Jones has a solid year, he’s still the best option.

Offense gets in the 355-375 total yards area. This puts the O in the upper third in the league.

I think the run/pass ratio will be better than some expect. The OL (after game 4) is better than Buffalo so this allows for more PA and downfield throws.

4100 yards 30/14 TD/Int. YPA at 7.0 Who knew a better team makes for a better QB.

Solid year but Giants see shortcomings in his game and with his expense make a bold move for a QB they like in the draft

Mara tells JS you better be right or you will see what all that meddling chatter was about.

12 TDs, 14 Interceptions and 2 rushing TDs

Never wanted Jones in the first place , but the QBs I liked (Darnold and Rosen) did not exactly set the world on fire so what do I know. I feel for this guy because he was drafted by an idiot who mismanaged the rebuild with incredible blunders in the draft and free agency. That said, even with more creative offensive minds and a better OL, it just does not seem realistic for Jones to play at a high enough level to warrant the contract the Giants will have to give him to bring him back. If he had two years left on the rookie contract it would be a much easier path.

Plays 14 games
25 TD's
11 INt.
3750 yds
450 yds rushing
2 rushing TD's

Picks are a problem for Jones. Over the last 2 seasons he has thrown almost as many picks as TDs in a conservative scheme. What do you think happens when he opens things up?
