The Daniel Jones Truth Thread

Mike from Ohio : 9/27/2022 12:39 pm
Is this a baseline at least the majority of us can agree on?

1) He plays hard and tough and is giving everything he has to this team.

2) He can make plays with his legs and is good when he tucks it and runs.

3) When he has time and is in rhythm he can make some very nice throws downfield.

4) When his first read is not open, Jones struggles to make second and third reads.

5) He holds the ball too long and often does not feel the pressure around him in the pocket.

6) He will likely not get a second contract with the Giants.

7) He will likely sign somewhere else as a bridge/competition guy or high end backup.

I am accused of being a Jones basher, but I think this is a pretty middle-of-the road take on the guy.
I agree with all 7.......  
GiantBlue : 9/27/2022 12:41 pm : link
While he hasn't had the greatest WR's to play with....Great WR's would probably not come here via free agency to play with him.

Really good WR's want to play for Mahomes, Rodgers, Brady, Allen, Etc.

We need to consider this when drafting our next QB!
Greeny summed it up best this morning...

negative take look like if this is middle of the road? Do you really think your opening platitudes disguised where you were going?
In general there are 2 camps  
Blue The Dog : 9/27/2022 12:43 pm : link
The 2 camps are more divided on how Jones should be evaluated than the evaluation itself at this point.

Camp A argues that because of the talent around him, you can't prove he sucks.

Camp B argues that because he hasn't played well, you can't prove he is good.

In the 4th year, it no longer matters if you can't prove he sucks. He needs to be demonstrably, consistently good
Fair take Mike  
Thunderstruck27 : 9/27/2022 12:44 pm : link
The only argument I would make is he holds the ball so long because
1. His WRs can't get open or be trusted to be in the right place
2. It's on him, but it's probable he's not 100% comfortable with the new offense yet.
Agree  
Thegratefulhead : 9/27/2022 12:44 pm : link
He definitely doesn't suck. Also, not a difference maker. Is what it is.

BigBlue7 : 9/27/2022 12:49 pm : link
“Make Daniel Great Again” crowd

where any blame placed on Jones and not on the WRs and OL is Fake News

The entire team, outside of Williams, Barkley, Thomas and McKinney sucks right now

Period
Jones was never worthy of the 6th pick  
Chris684 : 9/27/2022 12:49 pm : link
and never as bad as many people here made him out to be.

He’s not Mahomes, Herbert, Burrow (no shit) but I think a better team can win with him at QB.

I don’t think he’s the guy here as timing is now not on his side.
I'm not sure about #3...  
bw in dc : 9/27/2022 12:49 pm : link
but that's a fair list.

I think it's unequivocal that Jones does not have the force multiplier gene to make others better. That would be on my list.
Jones failed last night.  
Thegratefulhead : 9/27/2022 12:49 pm : link
He played a notch above decent. We needed him to make some big plays to change momentum. Scoring plays. He gives everything he has and it isn't enough.

Lines of Scrimmage : 9/27/2022 12:50 pm : link
That is a very good take by Greeny. Nice find.

Pretty much a organizational failure for a decade.

The problem with the QB guru crowd is they fail to see how bad the support has been around the QB. This does not have to mean Jones is a outstanding QB if he had a great system around him. Simply means the team failed to help him reach his potential on his rookie contract and now probably becomes cost prohibitive.
Can’t argue with any of these points.  
Section331 : 9/27/2022 12:50 pm : link
I’ve been called an anti-Joneser for pointing out issues in his play, but no one wants him to succeed more than I do. By all accounts, he is a great teammate who works really hard, and his toughness is unarguable.

I think one other thing we can agree on is that he has been dealt a bad hand, given the lack of talent around him. That said, there are areas where Jones just hasn’t shown enough improvement - processing, recognizing blitzes and pocket awareness. NFL QB is a REALLY hard job, most guys fail at it, or at least don’t succeed to the level teams are looking for.
I think he's generally terrible, as in no better than 20th  
Producer : 9/27/2022 12:51 pm : link
but more likely 25th best QB in the league.

Making some nice plays or have a couple of good games is meaningless if it's mixed in with subpar play, lack of production, and mistakes. A lot of bad QBs flash some decent play. We can't keep pretending Jones is better than he has shown and keep squandering years.

And why is nobody talking about the pick to end the game with over a minute left to play?

But I also trust the current regime knows what they're doing. I thought it was right not to extend the contract, but I see him improving under constant fire. Fumbling seems to have disappeared. The decisions were good (generally), and he's as competitive as you can want. This is not Dave Brown. The guy has talent. But before chucking a guy - I need to know the alternative. Because BBI seems to think that it's Mahomes, Brady, Rodgers or bust. Would you want Russell Wilson now?

....WELL, if you were watching you might have noticed David Sills slipped and fell, leading directly to the INT.

I'm not going to argue with you about Jones. I'll just say that this is Daboll/Schoen's call. Daboll seems to think Jones is progressing. We'll see if it's enough by the end of the season to see if he's brought back.
You have made you opinion well known on this site, to the point of ad nauseam.

We have a game like this, that if we win, we would really feel like things were changing. Every time, Jones comes up a little short. Make the big play. 20-37 and zero TDs was weaksauce.

I have been his critic, If Jones won last night, it would have changed my tune because of the importance of the circumstance. Had he risen in that situation, he would have DESERVED the credit. He did not.

Jones doesn’t produce enough. Not enough TD’s. If a QB needs everything *perfect* around him to succeed, that’s a backup QB. Look at Cooper Rush.

If the Giants are going to give Jones a new contract, he needs to be looked at against guys like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Allen has overcome a bad OL and no running game. Jackson has overcome losing his best WR and LT. Burrow overcame an awful OL last year.

Jones doesn’t produce enough and there will be cheaper options next year with no drop off in production.

He said they have athlwtic traits to build upon and he compared Jones to Allen/Hurts directly. But athletically they aren't that similar, that's my point. Look I never thought Hurts would succeed, but he's a quick twitch athlete. Jones isn't. It's a bad comparison. He doesn't have their skills.

Forget Lamar and Allen - two MVP candiates.

Make a list of QBs you would take over Jones for 2022-2025 (limiting the years so we don't rule out a few older QBs)

For me it would be:

Allen
Herbert
Mahomes
Burrow
Lawrence
Rodgers
Wilson
Cousins
Hurts
Stafford
Carr
Murray
Tua

Same tier:
Jones
Goff
Mac Jones
Geno
Mills
Wilson
Wentz

Wouldn't touch:
Tannehill
Mariota
Flacco
Ryan
Winston

So that is 14 QBs I would take over Daniel Jones for the next 3 years.

Which means exactly what most have been saying. Jones is at best an average QB
Fair points  
Reale01 : 9/27/2022 1:35 pm : link
I liked a lot of what I saw yesterday.

I would say that he has shown some improvement in pocket presence, but still needs a lot of work.

The OL continues to struggle. That said, he definitely holds the ball too long. His biggest fault IMO.

He has good arm talent. (Example: He made one incredible off platform throw last night.)

His receivers repeatedly let him down at the worst times possible. Its almost comical (to quote Tiki)

He may be here next year, but not on a mega-contract.
Jones = JAG

But last night I really felt sorry for Jones. There are so many fucking opinions that I am sick of it all. But Jones was very good last night. If we had a team full of Jones's, we would have won the game. We pay a reciever 20 million and don't play him. I like Daboll, but this is what we have. Play the fucking guy. They are ruining whatever we could have got from. Golladay. Parcells would get stubborn too, they all do, but its time to pat thr guy on the back and give him a fucking chance.

Yep. Time's up, basically. This is not the 80s, or even the early 00s. Cap rules + rookie contracts mean that the Giants can't wait for the roster to get better around Jones. Either Jones gets better this year, now, or the Giants move on. There's no viable middle ground.

He had a decent game last night under adversity. If that were year 2 I would have been all in. It's year 4; you need more than that.

Snablats : 9/27/2022 1:53 pm : link
The truth you left out is that he has never had a good OL or good WRs, and this is the first time since his rookie year that he has had a competent offensive coaching staff

Would having those things matter?

Who will be better than Jones while having a bad OL and no WRs?

If they can find a better QB, do it. But there is no one out there except Stroud and Young where you can say yes, he will be better - and many here dont want Young

I see why people dont think Jones should stay, and dont disagree IF you can find someone better - and that will be the problem

Making some nice plays or have a couple of good games is meaningless if it's mixed in with subpar play, lack of production, and mistakes. A lot of bad QBs flash some decent play. We can't keep pretending Jones is better than he has shown and keep squandering years.

Agreed. If the Giants had somehow gone the length of the field and won the game in the final seconds last night, I might have a different perspective this morning. And the end of the drive was not his fault.

You’re not winning with ok at the position in 2022 unless you have the best roster in football, top coaching and good luck. QB is the biggest differentiator in sports, you need more than ok.

OP nailed it and I agree on all accounts. I don’t understand the nitpicking of every mistake or those holding out hope that he’ll be more than he is. We know what Jones is at this point.
is there anyone advocating  
LG in NYC : 9/27/2022 2:14 pm : link
Giants should sign DJ to a long term contract? or that he should have been taken #6?

it seems to me some here are arguing against ghosts.

he is 99% gone after this season. that is almost irrefutable, and I support it.

but for anyone who can't even acknowledge he has been put in a less than ideal situation or want to blame him for everything (like end of game INT's despite visual evidence to the contrary) aren't worth the time to have a discussion with.

But I also trust the current regime knows what they're doing. I thought it was right not to extend the contract, but I see him improving under constant fire. Fumbling seems to have disappeared. The decisions were good (generally), and he's as competitive as you can want. This is not Dave Brown. The guy has talent. But before chucking a guy - I need to know the alternative. Because BBI seems to think that it's Mahomes, Brady, Rodgers or bust. Would you want Russell Wilson now?



There’s a better chance Wilson returns to his old form at some point this season than Jones performing like prime Wilson, though


Ok, fair point...but Jones is improving, Wilson may be permanently declining. The issue is whether Jones has reached his ceiling, and I still think we don't know - but he's improved IMO. And the other issue is what you're giving up to find out. Signing Jones to one more year vs. trading the farm.

Jones doesn’t produce enough. Not enough TD’s. If a QB needs everything *perfect* around him to succeed, that’s a backup QB. Look at Cooper Rush.

If the Giants are going to give Jones a new contract, he needs to be looked at against guys like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Allen has overcome a bad OL and no running game. Jackson has overcome losing his best WR and LT. Burrow overcame an awful OL last year.

Jones doesn’t produce enough and there will be cheaper options next year with no drop off in production.

How about Brady & Rodgers Sunday ? Did they do much better than Jones ?

I wanted Josh Allen and I was speechless when they selected Jones.

But we all need to understand something. This guys 2 best receivers at getting separation are not on the field in Toney and Robinson. Shepard was our best WR and now he is done. We have a rookie RT who is still learning the footwork for the position and a rebuilt OL.

He has 3 turnovers in 3 games and 2 of them aren't his fault. He is improving but right now he cannot make up for the weaknesses on this team and carry them on his back, although he tried real hard last night.

Jones is here for this year. We really need to let this play out and see how it ends. He may surprise you, especially if we can get some production out of the WR's siting on the sideline.

Is his 2nd read open?

Too many variables.

What I see is a player that is still trying not to lose.
I realize that when he was forced to step up that he likely saw that he could get a 1st down and didn't look to fit a ball downfield into a window. Jones needs to make a big play, he needs to take opportunities, ignore the peanut gallery and put the ball in the endzone.

With this team, he's going to be limited...but he has to take shots. He's got to be the reason the Giants win. Not Barkley, not the defense.

Yep. Time's up, basically. This is not the 80s, or even the early 00s. Cap rules + rookie contracts mean that the Giants can't wait for the roster to get better around Jones. Either Jones gets better this year, now, or the Giants move on. There's no viable middle ground.

He had a decent game last night under adversity. If that were year 2 I would have been all in. It's year 4; you need more than that.


If after watching Monday night and seeing what he had to do to make any plays you still think this kid sucks your all blind. some of the analysis on the sight is just God awful. When he is able to step up in the pocket and make a real throw let me know. Last ime that occurred was when Gates was the C. Hopefully he will be back after game 6 will not hold my breath though. DJ like any QB needs time. Take a look at Brady's stats this year. I believe he has no TD's in the 1st half, does he all of a sudden suck, is he not seeing his 2nd read?

Yeah, I'm not sure why ever since the Giants didn't pick up the 5th year option, the narrative has been that they'd be left with only these three choices at the end of the year:
A) sign him to a big contract
B) use the franchise tag on him
C) let him go

Everyone seems to agree he's not worth a big contract right now, so who else would be offering him this big contract that would necessitate A or B if the Giants decide they'd like to keep him around? I wouldn't at all be surprised if it ended up as
D) let him shop himself around as a starter and then sign him to a reasonable contract when he finds nobody considers him worth a big contract.
