Simple question about Daniel Jones this past Monday

NoGainDayne : 9/28/2022 10:26 am
I do think he played his best game of the season and showed some serious grit. However I found this lingering after the game.

Did anyone have any confidence that he was going to lead the team down the field on the last drive?

I didn't, not even a little. I was always confident in Eli no matter what kind of game it was, his protection etc.

Players can feel that too, our players, the other teams. I think that's really what it comes down to for me and DJ. I want to be able to watch a team on that kind of drive that I'm amped up to watch because I know they have a good shot. His receiver did fall down, that isn't his fault, but that doesn't change the fact that I was expecting a bad play to happen involving him.

properly take into account the poor OL and lack of targets Daniel Jones had to endure during his stay in New York...
Eli did it early in his career

When he had pieces around him. Go to his last 6 years when he had more than what Jones has today and it was ugly. He even lead the league in interceptions one year.

So your confidence in Eli is likely because you have selective memory.

If you want to evaluate Jones then fine but if you do that then you need to understand the game from a coaches perspective and not from the recliner of a fan.

The shitty thing about this season is once again we are having too many issues that impact the offense which always gets put on the QB

New OC and scheme that ALL of the players have to learn
Bad OL play again and we had high hopes
Horrible WRs
Less than average TE

The only two positives on offense are barkley until he gets hurt again and Jones has significantly reduced the turnovers

You are asking this guy not to make lemonade out of lemons, but to make lemonade out of rotten tomatoes

One of the most bizarre comments you see is if you have a "elite" QB then regardless of the talent around him it will be a outstanding offense. I see no evidence that this is true.

I can't recall a upper tier QB ever not having a good amount of talent around them whether it is in the OL or WR/TE group.
If Leonard Williams had played, the Giants would have won

and we would be discussing another surprising (and narrow victory). I don't think Aaron Rodgers, Justin Herbert, or Tom Brady could score touchdowns with this lineup.

Did I somehow communicate that I think Jones is a hall of fame talent that is unable to show it because of the lack of surrounding talent?

Hi LOS. I am not sure if anyone is saying that, but if they are, then I disagree; mostly for the reasons you listed in your post.

That is why I asked if you were referencing me.
Posters can use their own judgment whether that sentiment

pertains to them...
they sure can  
ChrisRick : 9/29/2022 9:02 am : link
and they can also just ask directly
Of course. Not everybody trusts their own judgment.

Dallas ties the game and Jones responds with a three and out! Oh wait it included two dropped passes and an illegal procedure. Damn it He has to overcome that!!!!!

To answer the OP, I didn't. But I would have loved to have been wrong.

Jones was solid on MNF. The problem is that he's working with the worst WR room in the league IMO. KT89 is a space cadet, Robinson is injured, Shep's now injured, KG is a waste...his best WR option is Richie Fucking James.
