Anyone who says Daniel Jones = Joe Burrow

Leg of Theismann : 1/23/2023 9:26 pm
Does not know a single thing about football.

And to clarify: I love Daniel Jones and I hope we sign him to $35-40M per year.

But he is NOT as good as Burrow- PERIOD.

Argue amongst yourselves.

Exactly this.


Make believe is fun! He said it, must be true if you guys click your heels together and snap your fingers 4 times, right?

Burrow probably has more passing TDs this year than DJ has the last 3 years combined. DJ just needs that 1 good WR and we'll be sizing him for a gold jacket. Der...der...

Chase, Higgins, etc… is not the same as saying he is equal to or better than Burrow. It’s just stating an obvious fact… DJ would put up better numbers with better receivers. It’s not controversial at all.

I said “Jones = Burrow” I did not say “better than.” That is a fundamental difference. And if you read THIS THREAD many people are arguing exactly that.

People need to relax on Burrow being so much better than Jones. Yeah I said it. Right now they are playing pretty equal football when you consider what Jones is doing with his legs. Would be nice if Jones had Tee Higgins and Chase to catch everything in sight within a 10 foot radius




Haha, of course.

Whenever somebody complains that another poster is stating opinion as fact, it just means they are too lazy to come up with a reasonable counter argument that has any kind of support.

I don’t agree with the text that I put in bold above. Personally, I find it polite and respectful to communicate opinions as such. It seems a bit arrogant in my view to express an opinion as fact. I could also argue that perhaps those that speak their opinions as fact are too lazy to express it properly.

.McL. : 1/24/2023 2:32 am : link
what gushes from their mouths is opinion? Hell no.

When you get together with your buddies over a few, and discuss football, do you couch everything you say as your opinion. Of course you don't!

Why is this place any different. Just make the underlying assumption that everything is an opinion and challenge as such. Ask for supporting evidence, or better yet, provide some evidence to counter.

Honestly, I could not care less, if somebody feels butthurt because of what somebody typed on a message board. I want to read the various opinions, points of view, and maybe learn something.
It's still not a fair measurement  
USAF NYG Fan : 1/24/2023 3:47 am : link
It gets tiresome repeating this as I know some think it's just an excuse but .... sure would be nice to rate him after he's got a legit and reliable #1 and #2 receiver. I still don't think his OL is solid either. The OL improved a little from last year as did the coaching, still, some respectable receivers please?

The NY Giants' #1 receiver is (as in most receptions) Saquon Barkley and Richie James with 57 receptions. That's good for around 60th in the league. With 32 NFL teams, that ranks James as one of the worst #2 receivers in the league.

We have a plethora of really good #3 receivers, one of which may become an average #2 receiver. We need a good to great #1 receiver AND a good to great #2 receiver.


Allen, Mahomes, Burrow, etc all have a great receiving core. Most of the QBs constantly mentioned also have good OLs (not the Bengals ofc). All I ask is for a fair measurement.

If you had said, "Anyone who says Daniel Jones can leap tall buildings at a single bound does not know a single thing about tall buildings" I would support that statement, because clearly that person is clueless when it comes to tall buildings. Daniel Jones couldn't even leap the shortest of buildings! But when you say that anyone who says he equals Joe Burrow he doesn't know a single thing about football you lose me because the simple fact that he knows they both are football players and are comparable because they play the same position indicates he knows at least a single thing or two about the game. Next time, stick with deriding those that say he can leap tall buildings at a single bound (it's likely these are the same people who think he is Joe Burrow's equal) or that he lives in a condom (because clearly they don't know a single thing about condoms and are probably confusing them with condominiums).

I am not sure that Mahomes is Burrow right now(before injury).

Jones is somewhere in the 10-12 range of NFL QBs.

what is your point? Burrow has Tee Higgins and Jamar Chase and a decent TE... Jones has Slayton and Hodgins. Does that make you happy.

A number of people (whenever they joined BBI I don’t care) have made this argument and I was just pointing out that they are idiots. A large percentage of BBI agree with me and I was just looking for y’all to confirm this adamantly to snuff out the r****ds. But instead many people who agree with me have decided to attack me and tell me this phenomenon of stupidness doesn’t exist. Ok fine. Sorry for posting one thing that made you feel uncomfortable in some way.



What exactly was the argument? Making a rogue comment to piss people off is what many people do, and yes I’ve seen that. I don’t recall anyone making this argument with some sort of reasoning behind it. Seems like a complete waste of time to start this and then argue about it.



Well you should’ve been on the Bills Bengals thread … as the Bengals we’re winning by 3 scores and people were still arguing this. If you think this thread was useless for your own purposes just ignore it.


I was on the thread and no one said this. What was said were things like “must be nice to throw to Chase and Higgins” (which if you ask Joe Burrow, he’d agree with) not “if Jones has Chase and Higgins he’d be the MVP of the league”.

If you are going to start a low quality thread be prepared for some backlash.

ryanmkeane : 1/24/2023 9:22 am : link
yeah, and i remember very fondly when posters were talking up Jones' ability before the beginning of this year and saying he could be a really good franchise QB. And everyone pretty much laughed at that and said its over. Then he led the team to a playoff win. Then people said well let's see about the Eagles game before we make any judgements here. Then people said well he's not Joe Burrow.

So..yeah. He's not Joe Burrow. Obviously. But during this stretch before the Eagles game he was playing close to that level.

Mitch Trubisky had a six-game stretch in 2018 when he threw 17 TDs and 4 INTs. Even at the end of his last year in Chicago, he had a 5-game stretch with 10 TDs (plus 1 rushing), 4 INTs, and a 99.3 passer rating.

I will accept and acknowledge that Jones is almost certainly going to be the Giants QB in 2023 at the very least, but let's not fall in love with small samples. It would be fantastic if the Giants improved the roster and Jones improved as well. That said, it's not unfair to point out that it's purely speculative.

And nobody should be mentioning Joe Burrow in a conversation about Daniel Jones.

+1. Barring a breakdown in contract negotiations, Jones will be the QB next year. Being concerned with how much and how long the Giants pay him off of speculation he’s going to jump into the next tier, or play like the Vikings/Colts games more consistently is legitimate. Some think it’s a forgone conclusion, but it’s not. It’s one thing to have a bad game, especially when the whole team is bad that day, but we saw old Jones’ habits pop back up Saturday (the pick, the mental lapse running out of bounds on 2nd and 1, off target on short/intermediate throws outside the hash).
From this past weekend Jones definitely wasn’t good  
UConn4523 : 1/24/2023 10:18 am : link
but look around at the other teams that lost too. Lawrence was underwhelming, Dak stunk, Allen wasn’t very good, and Purdy sucked too but got the win playing on an all star team. Not comparing all the QBs directly to each other but I saw a lot of bad from that group collectively.

Schoen is looking at a multi year extension or Tag, something Trubisky didn’t get and won’t ever get. The comp is meaningless, same for Minshew. So what do you guys know that Schoen doesn’t?
DJ likely isn’t JB

Joe Schoen is neither infallible nor capable of predicting the future. It's already been acknowledged that Jones almost certainly has a future as a Giants QB for Schoen/Daboll, but what comes with that are EXPECTATIONS for consistent performance.

If those two guys are going to hitch their wagon to Daniel Jones, they'd better be correct too. It's no longer going to be about "potential" it's going to be about results. You think Jones's critics are going to be silenced by occasional flashes of excellent mixed with mediocrity? Because I can assure you, they (we) will not. I hope Jones delivers, absolutely, but hopes and reality often don't align.

Its not just a 1WR disparity here. Its a 3WR disparity. Secondly Chase isn't just a decent #1 he is perhaps top 2 or 3 in the entire NFL. Lastly which one of any of our WRs would start over any of their 3 top WRs? Thats not a small difference that's a totally different ballpark. For even more fun which TE on our roster plays over theirs?

No one is saying DJ is Burrow but to think his numbers wouldn't drastically improve with the likes of Chase Higgins and Boyd over Slayton Hodgins and James is fantasy land.

but look around at the other teams that lost too. Lawrence was underwhelming, Dak stunk, Allen wasn’t very good, and Purdy sucked too but got the win playing on an all star team. Not comparing all the QBs directly to each other but I saw a lot of bad from that group collectively.

Schoen is looking at a multi year extension or Tag, something Trubisky didn’t get and won’t ever get. The comp is meaningless, same for Minshew. So what do you guys know that Schoen doesn’t?


Not comparing Jones to either, but just pointing out a lot of QBs who aren’t franchise QBs have had stretches of franchise QB like play.

But back to Tribusky/Jones in terms of contract. The reason Tribusky didn’t get a 5th year or a long term contract was because his best year came in year 2 and there wasn’t any growth in the years after that. Jones’ best year came in year 4, in a year the team played themselves out of draft position for a top QB. So naturally you have to see if there’s an opportunity for him to do it again. If you swapped career arcs, the Bears would be looking to find a way out of a Tribusky deal and a second contract for Jones wouldn’t even be on the table.

DJ is top 10, imv..Do the math..😎

Agree with this. Although Burrow is no less than top 2 for me. I honestly think if I had to start a franchise right now with a pick of the current QBs, it would be Burrow.

THAT SAID - DJ is absolutely top 10 right now, with WAY less of a cast of characters surrounding him than basically every other QB in the playoffs this year. I DON'T CARE if he is as good as Burrow, I am happy to have him.

And Leg, I have not seen one post, not one with someone saying he is as good as Burrow.
ajr, that’s leaving out a whole lot of context

and details, and oversimplifying it but in the end it’s not really worth another thread debating it.
Jones does not need to be Burrow

who I really like. He just needs to continue to be a better version of Jones and keep progressing like he did this year.

More talent at the skill talent will help him.

I did see Jones show some Joe coolness this year which is a good thing.

Burrows has next level intangibles  
Spiciest Memelord : 1/24/2023 10:50 am : link
no one in the league has, and Jones is very good in that department. Just go over old college and high school interviews regarding Joe Burrow, coaches and other players speak reverentially about him, never seen something like that before.

Chase and Higgins for Hodgins and James straight up. Get it done Joe.

Jones MIGHT be really good if given the WRs and OL ... now that he stopped turning the ball over so much.

But he hasn't been really good yet.

So we don't need to negotiate against ourselves to pay him like he it. There's no way another GM is going to offer him $35M+ per year based on what he's done. They can't if they want to keep their job.
Why did the 20 - 30 yard throw (I mean air yards)

it should have happened more often than it did...
In a very short period of time, Joe Burrow has turned into one  
chick310 : 1/24/2023 3:12 pm : link
of the most valuable QBs this league has seen in decades.

And he still doesn't even have a Lombardi.

Yet.

On the bengals with jamar chase et al and he would put up 30+ TD easy plus he’s a better runner. Burrow better pocket presence for sure and reads better but DJ/Burrow are a lot closer overall, it’s just hard to compare when he’s surrounded by practice squad trash/Jason Garret offense.


LMFAO! Always love ridiculous statements like these. As if the NFL is fucking Madden and, it’s as easy as plug-n-play.

Also once had a 3 game stretch that would be similar to Joe Burrow. As did Davis Mills last season. As did Darnold, Winston, Baker, etc.


Hell, Josh Freeman once had an entire productive season that overshadowed his shortcomings.
