This is another must watch in my opinion. This is about the most accurate and fairest assessment that I have heard/seen about the state of the Giants, Daniel Jones, and how and why what they've been doing works, and whether or not it is sustainable, including what to look for going forward; as well as what the upcoming match with the Lions is going to look like.
For those of us who live and die with the Giants, I highly recommend you make the time to watch/listen to this. It's really excellent.
By the way, it looks like the Giants are going to be featured with the lead broadcast team at Fox for a bunch of games going forward.

Giants struggle with misdirection in the run game and the Lions are one of the best in the league at it.

Also, "Everyone is always in a rush to get their next QB, I just remind and caution people, 'who do you think you're getting to come in and be better than him...there's just not a lot of them.'"
The formula has been pretty consistent. Some of the games could of gone the other way but that is the NFL. Get the game to the 4th QTR and then find a way.
The Jones talk was solid. As others have said there are only so many "great" QB's and the draft has lots of variables. The only thing and I think it is really one of the biggest components to the Jones debate is cost moving forward which was not touched on. That cost can have a big impact on the team overall and really what JD/BD have to consider and make decisions based off.

Loved his comments on DJ, very fair and while I'm paraphrasing he said everyone is always looking for their next QB, there are only a handful of stud QB's in the league and you can win with DJ so they should focus on building around him vs. replacing him.

IMO it comes down to the Defense this year and several years in the future. If the Defense is highly overrated then it would take an additional at least two years before they are really, really good. In year 3 Barkley will probably be fading.
Then signing Jones is a move to nowhere. Might as well be in Rebuild. We'll be a mini-Atlanta Falcons team without the MVP Matt Ryan year. Or The prior years of "Playoff Bears" that led to nowhere.
But if the Defense is for real and can pick up its level quite a bit from it's current performance, then Giants can become a mini-San Fran/ Tennessee. - Then sign him. (ofc within reason. He's not getting "superstar" money.).
