Giants Now: PFF lists Daniel Jones among NFL's top deep pass

theme throughout his career that the analytics love Daniel Jones ability to throw a deep pass. This article is about the 2020 season
Link - ( New Window )

That article highlights how much they were banking on Golladay. Kyle Rudolph, Golladay, and John Ross. Those FA that year are gaffes that probably sunk Judge as much as Judge sunk Judge... lol. And drafting KT was just the cherry on top.

showing off those skills more often this year. I can't wait to watch.

Has an above average deep ball, but there’s a narrative out there that he is scared to throw it. He needs to throw it deep this season. It’s the only way the running game will flourish to its full potential.

making downfield throws difficult.

DJ’s worst abilities. Forget PFF, we know he has a good deep ball.
I’m not sure what it is, but I’m drinking the Kool-aid now that he’s a top 10ish QB.

speed at the WR position. We basically only had Slayton and at times he was doubled so made it more difficult to complete many deep passes. Now with Slay, Campbell, Waller, Hyatt it's going to be very difficult to double anyone and obviously increase our odds of completing more deep passes providing most stay healthy throughout the season.

against the better fronts and I think we will see plenty of downfield strikes with the added talent but the OL has to take a big step with a lot of good defenses on the schedule.

Once you make a defense have to defend both the run/pass things really open up and they have the QB to hit those plays imv.

that was most ready coming out of college for him.

Lol, those posts were the best. I think he pretty clearly can throw it, but the WR corps to start the season was dire. The one thing he will never have is a cannon but his arm is good enough.

Maybe the 2 inch separation of his P/S receivers had something to do with it?

i remember the good ol days where posters would say Jones needs a better OL and receivers who could get open, and the response was "no excuses, he just isn't good."

Good times.

Or the milliseconds he had to throw before he was hit.

There’s been a lot of narratives about Jones since he s been drafted.

….narrative.

I almost miss the hard core haters. Almost, but not.

So many mocked where he was drafted, and find it almost impossible to back track a bit and admit, he s not that bad, he s actually pretty good.

It would explain why his success last season is dismissed with one stat, 15 touchdown passes.

Of course that ignores the 7 he ran for, or the fact that Saquon was a pretty effective weapon in the red zone, which reduced the number of throws into the end zone in scoring position

It also doesn’t take into account there were no receivers who would take a 10 yard slant, or a swing pass 65 yards to the end zone after the catch

I keep reading if Jones can up his game. His game was pretty special last season. If he plays at the same level with better weapons, Giants offense takes a giant leap.

Oh almost forgot, “what about the Eagle game”

Same thing happened to Daniel that happened to Mahomes a few years back when his O line was overwhelmed in the Super Bowl

Daniel is a very good football player, just like Simms was

Sorry for double post

Mr take a knee beat into his head not to turn the ball over but dabs started to recondition him to throw it if you see it. Obviously with the wr corp he didn’t see it too much which is why they tried to upgrade wr speed.

Football is the ultimate team sport. You need a qb that can read it and make the throws, tackles to stop the edge rush, iol to protect the pocket for the qb to step up, wrs to stretch the field vertically and take the top off a defense and a coach with balls to be aggressive. A good run game also helps keep the defense honest.

We will have growing pains with the rt still improving, a rookie c, one speedster still being a rookie but the pieces are starting to line up

I remember those same posters having significantly higher contract projections than you did for DJ.

You're not bright enough to earn any victory laps.
