No. And he's been given a shit hand, but no.
No, No, Nope, No Chance, No, Nope!  
GMen72 : 10/6/2022 7:26 pm : link
Sign him as a our backup RB...but not as an NFL QB. We can pay a lot of guys to be among the worst in the NFL in passing yards, YPA, and passing TDs.
No.  
NoPeanutz : 10/6/2022 7:28 pm : link
he's hurt all the time.
Yes  
Giants73 : 10/6/2022 7:29 pm : link
At best positioned for 5th best QB in draft. Still need o line and WR help. Plus if it ended now giants would be in the playoffs.
I've always been a supporter,  
Everyone Relax : 10/6/2022 7:30 pm : link
but no. Maybe... MAYBE you tag him to hold it over a year (even though he's not worth it) given we probably still have another year to get the cap under control, but I would love to see Daboll and Shoen have their pick of who they want to mold going forward.
No

A decent straight line running QB, but not a passing QB
depends upon the deal  
AG5686 : 10/6/2022 7:34 pm : link
1 or 2 yr stop gap
No  
Larry in Pencilvania : 10/6/2022 7:34 pm : link
I wouldn't tag him as it would be $30 mil plus. I am enjoying his making lemonade out of lemons, but he isn't the answer going forward. He's a good guy and has been stepping in sh!t since he got here with no skill players and limited protection. Problem is he doesn't make anyone better nor has his processing improved. It's ok to enjoy what he's doing with his legs and say he's not the guy.

Fortunately for everyone it's up to Schoen and Dabs
Not likely  
ChrisRick : 10/6/2022 7:38 pm : link
It would of course matter how much the Jones’ camp would be asking for. Jones would just be a bridge to another quarterback for me if feasible. I would look to get a qb in the 23 draft
I would

3-4 years 18 million per year. This guy seriously has had the worst supporting cast of any QB in the league. He’s a competitor and honestly he’s accurate when given time. I think Shurmur knew how to use him best though.
No Way

Draft position

Qb's in the draft

FA's available

Asking price
Depends on draft position and money  
gersh : 10/6/2022 7:50 pm : link
But i trust this staff to make the right decision
If they don’t think they can get a guy to develop in the 2023 draft I think he’s worth 2 years/20 mil

I hope they like him enough to sign him for a longer term $15 mil/year so they can draft another important piece and manage the cap

Best guess - they cut ties and pick a guy they can develop
His best attribute is also what causes him to miss games  
Ten Ton Hammer : 10/6/2022 7:56 pm : link
.
only way i bring him back  
Payasdaddy : 10/6/2022 7:59 pm : link
is if he tests market first.
If he comes back and would settle for 3/40, would consider
not at 30 million
just cant hamstring us at this point
He is a perfectly fine backup  
Jerry in_DC : 10/6/2022 8:00 pm : link
But you never see those kind of devotions. It makes zero sense to bring him back at any cost. He's one of the worst starting QBs in the league. And if we need a guy who can play at a backup level, there are many guys of his caliber that change teams every year.
It depends…  
BUgiantfan : 10/6/2022 8:00 pm : link
Who are the free agent QBs that are available? What’s our draft position? Who are the college QBs available to us?

If the best free agent QB is Garoppolo and the best QB we can draft is a 2022 version of Manziel, then hell yeah, I’m resigning Jones.

The 5th best QB in the 2023 draft has more upside than Daniel Jones.

Right now, no I am not re-signing him.

But, the 5th best QB in the draft is not likely better than Jones.
If the season ended today  
Pepe LePugh : 10/6/2022 8:08 pm : link
We have a draft position in the mid 20s, so zero shot at drafting the top 3-4 QB. As of today, per your stipulation, I don’t see another QB in the draft that offers upside higher than DJ. Also as of today, Lamar Jackson is the only FA QB worth a shot, but Baltimore isn’t going to balk at tagging him. So yes, I’ll negotiate in probably $12-15M range, 2-3 years.

Nostradamus hath spoken !!!
Let him go to free agency  
KeoweeFan : 10/6/2022 8:11 pm : link
Not every contending team needs an HOF QB.
If the best offer he gets is above what Daboll and Schoen think he is worth to their future let him go.

If they have schemes that integrate his "limited skills" to an 11 man winning offense, retain DJ at a little above his best offer.

Both parties would then be better off by him not changing teams.
Well, let's prorate Jones's current numbers...  
bw in dc : 10/6/2022 8:13 pm : link

over 17 games: 13 TDs/9 INTs, 64% completion%, 6 YPA, 46 QBR.

So, if you aggregate those projections with his prior three years, Jones's career looks like:

58 TDs/ 38 INT, 63.5% completion%, 6.4 YPA, 47 QBR.

I didn't feel compelled to adjust for the excuse variables.

The object is to have a great QB, or at the very least a very good one.

So, even if you bastardize the numbers to account for the excuse variables, the answer is clearly no.

You left out rushing TDs. Did you leave that out as part of the excuse category?

And no, I’m not a Jones guy. But I would offer him a low end contract for two years and see if he bites. Like 18 mil per year area. Where we would be picking based on our record we won’t have a shot at the top guys.
I am Very Nervous About a Draft Choice  
OntheRoad : 10/6/2022 8:19 pm : link

1st-round QBs are 50-50 and a bad one would set the franchise back more than DJ. I would not pay franchise rates, but would offer $15-20M.
I’ll Play  
Trainmaster : 10/6/2022 8:23 pm : link
1) No to a 5 year triple digit million contract with half or more guaranteed
2) No to $30M+ franchise tag
3) Maybe to Transition Tag IF that exists / is an option
4) Yes to a 2 yr $40M incentive laden contract IF he / his agent would agree

It's not possible for a rookie to set us back more than Jones. Jones is a dead end.

That's a fair point, and I thought about it. And, no, rushing yards are not part of the basket of excuses.

But Jones is not enough of dynamic rushing threat like an LJax to move the needle for me to sign him.

If we could get a cheap deal as a back-up, then I'm more interested.
Hell no.

Fuck no. Just stick with Taylor for much less.
Until I am presented a better option  
JoeMorrison40 : 10/6/2022 8:39 pm : link
Yes I franchise him.
Stroud, Young, Levis, Hooker, Ward, Richardson etc.  
widmerseyebrow : 10/6/2022 8:40 pm : link
Of course that list is going to fluctuate quite a bit, but who would rather have a 5th year of Jones than the 4th or 5th guy on that list?

And yes, all them clearly have more UPSIDE than Jones.

Of course "definitely better" than Jones has been in 3.5 years is always hard to predict with the draft, but by the same token Jones performance to date isn't hard to top. His numbers are on par with Trubisky, whom everyone agrees is a bust.
Taylor? Get serious.  
Giant John : 10/6/2022 8:40 pm : link
Sign me up for 12mm a year 2-3 years because unless you get lucky in the draft I don’t think we find better.

Ok, 12-5 or 13-4, Pretty good.
No (as of today)  
Lines of Scrimmage : 10/6/2022 8:48 pm : link
Already dinged.

Hopefully we get some guys back and BD gets a good look. Based on draft, Jones and whatever else in on the market make a decision from that point. 1st round pick starts. 2nd-4th round then sign the best available QB as expectation should be to win while that QB learns is evaluated as a potential solution.

If that does not work keep looking for the next QB. Winning will allow BD to have that chance.

No  
Bold Ruler : Mod : 10/6/2022 8:48 pm : link
Not worth the money. Get hurt too often. More of a runner than a passer. After 4 years we know what he is. Not worth a second contract. Especially with all of our needs.

If the answer is no because season is too early,

Jones is hurt all the time and the ‘23 QBs are wildly overrated.
It will come down to simple analysis  
djm : 10/6/2022 9:15 pm : link
You’re probably not going to get an immediate upgrade in free agency unless you think Rogers or Garoppolo is coming here. I’m not even sure Garoppolo is an upgrade, but I digress. We could draft a guy but does that mean we have to let jones walk? Then there’s the talk of a franchise tag which to me is premature. Let’s say Jones keeps up this play and the team goes 9 -8, Is some team next spring offering Jones a whopper of a deal? Why can’t we get jones on a relatively cheap 1-2 year deal and draft a qb?

Dont see a need for a ft talk just yet but if jones kicks ass here over the next 3 months, by all means, he’s done little to nothing to really complain about this season. Let’s be honest.
