Huge Opportunity for DJ

BigBlueJ : 9/19/2022 11:21 am
Not a DJ fan, I think he is limited. But he seems like a wonderful kid, and I think at the very least he will be in this league for some time making millions of dollars on a few team rosters as a backup/second chance player. But I think Monday night on national TV against the Cowboys could be a titanic opportunity for his future. Might not be with the Giants, but just his prospects overall for his future. Wish him the best, feel like a nervous parent...
i hope Dak plays

He needs to beat him heads up. if he beats Cooper Rush its certainly not as big of a deal

If Daniel Jones throw for 3 TD's and no INT's against a Micah Parsons defense on MNF, Mara will be in the locker room with a new contract after the game.

mind made up on DJ. If he beats Rush it's only because Dak was out. If he beats Dak it's because Dak is courageous but hurt.

If he somehow wins with a bad o-line and throwing it to Sills James and Shep, he won't get any credit. But who cares at this point? Just keep fucking winning.

How can he beat Rush when neither of them play defense? Prescott is an average qb, the cowturds won without him with their run game and their defense and a back up qb. I have no problem playing and beating any team that is not at full strength!
Let's not get too excited about jones and the offense  
Atlantic : 9/19/2022 12:09 pm : link
The Giants offense has put up 21 and 19 points in their two games. And that was with two extremely short fields against Carolina. And Jones tried to throw the game away in the last minute of the first half. Our QB has also had the luxury of playing against teams that focus on the Giants running game. Jones deserves some credit but not a contract. So let's slow your roll.

The defense has been awesome. The red zone defense has been tough as nails. And that's without our edge rushers. They deserve the mucho credit for our record.

If we beat Dallas it will probably be according to the same storyline. And that would be fine with most of New York

LOL. Do fans of other teams discounts their wins vs the Giants? If Jones plays well Monday night and they win, why would I care if Dak played or not? They just beat the Bengals, did that win not count or something?
I hope he turns the corner on Monday  
larryflower37 : 9/19/2022 12:19 pm : link
There would be nothing better than seeing DJ grow into a good QB this year.
Outside of an injury he is the guy for the rest of the season, I don't get the nitpicking of every play.
All I hope for is do enough to win the game and get better every week.
A Titanic Opportunity?  
Jim in Tampa : 9/19/2022 12:20 pm : link
I agree that there are icebergs ahead for DJ.

Or did you mean "gigantic opportunity"?

"if he beats cooper rush its not that big of a deal."

I'm sorry is Daniel Jones facing Cooper Rush or the Cowboys defense? The reigning AFC champs led by everyone's favorite QB Joe Burrow just lost to Cooper Rush yesterday.

QBs don't play against each other - just beat the Cowgirls

What an idiotic post you made. You can't be this dumb. SO just take away the victory, right?

Who needs victories unless you say so, right?

Are the insults necessary? i just said it would have more meaning if he beat Dak heads up

also, go fuck yourself
Scouts from other teams will base their evaluation  
Mike from Ohio : 9/19/2022 12:42 pm : link
Of Jones on how he plays, not which team he beats and who their QB was for that game. QB vs. QB is fan stuff.

I hope they have a plan for blocking Parsons because if he runs loose DJ may not make it 60 minutes.
Jones is not playing against Dak,  
Simms11 : 9/19/2022 12:46 pm : link
he’s playing against a pretty darn good defense, coached by Dan Quinn. If he wins, it would be a tremendous feather in his cap regardless of who they have at QB. They have some game-wreckers on that side of the ball, Parsons, Lawrence, Diggs, etc.
I've never heard anyone say

Eli beat the Patriots twice in the Super Bowl.


They all say, Eli beat Tom Brady twice.

Giants have not beat the Cowboys with Dak at QB since 2016, for me as a fan, it will have more meaning to beat them with Dak playing.

And thanks for the last 2 posters for disagreeing respectfully

RE: Eli beat the Patriots twice in the Super Bowl.  
Trainmaster : 9/19/2022 1:04 pm : link
Eli bested a Belichick led defense twice and offenses Eli led scored more points than the corresponding Brady led offenses did.

So Eli didn’t beat Brady.

That’s weird, I have. And for those that think he beat Brady, it was the Super Bowl where, up until that point, Brady never lost.

Playing Brady in the SB has no relation to playing Dak in a week 3 game.

Dak has won one playoff game in four tries,  
Reese's Pieces : 9/19/2022 1:27 pm : link
Has missed two of the last three seasons with injuries, and if off to a bad start this season.

That puts him in about the same class as Tony Romo.

Ludicrous. A win against Rush counts exactly the same as a win against Dak

Just like millions of other football fans..But in all the years I have been watching and hating them,there was only one player I would have wanted on the Giants and that was Emmitt Smith..Now I have 2 that I would want..Parsons is #2.This guy is like the old linebackers from the 1980's..He's relentless..There's no quit in this guy..He he stays healthy for 7 or more years,he's in Canton...

Talk to Cincinnati and Joe Burrow.
LOL
Dak has been exposed so beating their defense will be the challenge

OL needs to protect especially the edges. Cannot let Parsons wreck the game.

What I don't get is the crowd that still defends Gettleman  
Matt M. : 9/19/2022 2:27 pm : link
There have been posts the last 2 weeks (mostly after last week) about how a good season from Barkley and Jones vindicates Gettleman. Um...no. Those are clearly the 2 most important picks he's made. But, with or without them, Gettleman left with a team in cap Hell, no semblance of an OL, no backup QB, no TE, weak WRs, no LBs. He ran the team into the ground.

Going to be so important that they are able to run the football on Monday night and not play from behind. Cant let that defense just pin their ears back and come at the QB
I keep waiting for that

IT performance. Even with the lack of weapons he can still show improvement by not missing open receivers and being aware of his surroundings.

I'm guessing no one.
At this point  
GiantGrit : 9/19/2022 4:24 pm : link
Just keep playing winning football. Minimize turnovers and facilitate. He’s done a good job of that.

If you’re playing the Giants my guess is you’d want to

1. Play 2 high
2. Load the box to nullify Saquon

Make the Giants work down the field and score touchdowns in a condensed field. The offense has to find ways to score touchdowns instead of settling. Then those drives turn into back breakers.

Depending on opponent this OL doesn’t seem stout enough to run it down a teams throat even when they expect it. Thats where Kafka gets creative and tries different things. I criticized him during the game but man being an OC of this team is tough.
It seems to me...  
bw in dc : 9/19/2022 4:48 pm : link
that Daboll and Kafka have declared Jones their game-manager QB, and they are carefully guiding him through a Trent Dilfer type season: get the play on time, make clean hands-offs, make a few throws and, when it's there, run for yardage.

So, I don't think Jones should be expected to do anything on MNF that he hasn't done the first two games. And the way things are playing out, that may be good enough for another W.
Jones has to have at least one or two....  
jnoble : 9/19/2022 5:25 pm : link
...games where he throws for 3 TDs/300+ yards no INTs or fumbles AND/OR also leads the team down the field late in the 4th to win the game. Unfortunately his (on paper at least) best WRs need to also step up to help make that happen and it doesn't look promising at the moment.
