But they are a long way away from any final decision, and the source acknowledged it might be premature for them to completely give up on Jones after watching him in just six starts this season — including three without running back Saquon Barkley, four without left tackle Andrew Thomas, and behind a disastrous offensive line that got him sacked a ridiculous 30 times. |
Haha! So perfect
and now we hVe this click bait article which basically states they believe in Jones but may not when thebtime comes to make a decision, lol, the media sees blood in the water and gullible Giants fans will eat it up
One, I have lost confidence in his ability to stay healthy, and I just have this feeling that he his one more neck injury aware from having tom retire.
Two, unlike previous years, we are going to be in a position to draft a real difference maker at QB. My preference is Daniels, but I think any of Daniels, Maye or Williams would be that franchise altering type of QB. While I always thought DJ could be "good enough," I acknowledged that for the Giants to win a SB with DJ, there would have to be a lot of pieces in place. I think any of the top three QBs are the type of talents who could overcome and coverup deficiencies in other arears of the team.
Yessir, like clockwork.
I wouldn’t celebrate too much. Random, unknown “Sources” are lovely and all but we will find out how they feel on draft day. What do you expect them to say right now? “Yeah, he sucks, we are going to move on”.
I will say though, if you and all the other clamoring to roll with Jones once again get your way, Daboll and Schoen will very likely be out of jobs after next season. They’d have to be out of their damned minds to stake their careers to Daniel Jones at this point.
I used to think that...but I'm not sure with the best Oline if he will ever be good, might just be too late for him.
On one hand it's a relief that it's not real if the fans don't want it to be. On the other hand, John Mara believes this is a completely normal way to run your NFL franchise.
This points to the mealy mouth pussywimp owner. He will never stop his greasy fingers touching all personnel decisions.
They didn't say it publicly. They floated it through one of their friends in the media. Ralph always gets this kind of stuff, less than two years ago he was citing sources in the organization as late as mid-December that Judge was going to be kept. It was only Judge's self-immolation and the collective ire of basically everyone that prevented a Judge-Abrams combo running things in 2022.
If Jones plays amazing, Dre Brees him to another team. If Jones stinks, cut him or demote him to QB2 by mid season or following season.
For me its actually the best QB plan they have had in a decade. Especially since they boggle the Eli Manning replacement plan so poorly.
I think you're giving them too much credit. The last time we saw trial balloons there was no strategic need to mask their intentions. They just didn't know what they wanted to do.
Utterly ridiculous.
Its the most important position in the game and its not close.
If they are not sold on any of the QBs they should trade out for a lot of picks. this team needs a lot of help on O.

One thing I will give this regime, they use the media to their advantage. Look at the information our beats get. It's straight bullshit. Remember after we traded William and the narrative was there was a l9t of interest in the Giants roster? What happened? Nothing. Same with this situation. We all know they are going all in on this QB class. Now they are trying to downplay all the visits they have to colleges by saying they are still in on Jones. This is an attempt to try to deflect what is really happening as to not kill us with something like a trade up to get said QB. It is also to keep Jones' value from plummeting if we decide to trade him.

Maybe but this regime has been tight lipped about everything and what the beats get is straight garbage.
1. The QB room now has a #2 overall pick and Daniel Jones at a $47M cap hit
2. Brian Daboll is probably coaching for his job. In such a scenario he might be more comfortable going with the Blue) devil he knows than the one he doesn't.
3. Cutting Jones after the '24 season results in a $22M cap hit in '25
4. They've only gotten 5 games out of Jones in a $160M contract.
This is not an ideal scenario into which to draft a quarterback. Should they do it? Absolutely.
But how easy is it to see them do the calculus and tell themselves they should use this draft to help Daniel and draft his replacement next year if necessary?
I can't stress enough how bad the decision was to pay Jones.
Well now he has an ACL injury that may permantently hurt that strength. So it would be odd to ignore that and hope for the best. Which is why they likely won't and this report won't mean much.
If Jones stinks and/or the team is going nowhere, he can come in and get some experience later in the year. And if Jones balls out with a competent OL and leads us on a playoff run, that's a good problem to have.
I could see it. Do you know how hard it was for John Mara to outside the organization to finally hire Joe Schoen? He's probably saying to himself, "well, we went outside and we're worse off than ever before."
It would be wrong, but I could see Mara thinking that.

"WE WANT MAYE! WE WANT MAYE! WE WANT MAYE!"
The only thing worse than not taking a QB in the 1st round, is taking a bust of a QB in the 1st round.
Didn't need an article to know that. It's ludicrous to think Dabs/Schoen would write off Jones after 4 shitty games under absurd circumstances. It's just as ludicrous to think they're not thinking about replacing him after this unplanned disaster -- including his injuries -- is opening that unexpected door with a top X pick.
The rest of the season will be awful. Shitty football with little to learn, at least until/unless TT is back.
At least the off-season will be interesting.

"If we win a few more games, we'll be out of the Caleb/Maye sweepstakes and may be stuck with DJ, as we will not nor should not reach for a QB."
