Vacchiano: Sources say Giants still believe in Jones

Sean : 11/13/2023 4:52 pm
Quote:
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.

a clown outfit on Daniel Jones seems like piling on at this point.


Oh I agree. It’s definitely over the top and he doesn’t deserve it. He’s a nice guy and has been a good soldier. But we must drown out the very loud minority that want to run it back once again with Jones. If Mara is hearing their voices, we are doomed.

Btw, I was joking anyways. I think?



We must "drown out the minority". What is this? Cancel culture? Pathetic attitude. I don't care what Jones is or isn't. Your mentality is the real problem not only on this board but everywhere.


Who the fuck are you? Did you just crawl,out of a hole? Whoever you are you seem like a real treasure. And by treasure, I mean a complete idiot


I didn’t need you to reinforce my point. But thanks anyway.

I don’t buy this for a second. Look at Schoen’s travel schedule. But if it is true, Mara influenced…in which case we’re fucked.



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.


I have know idea how hard it was for him, but evidently I don’t know him as well as you do

If the Giants  
MookGiants : 11/14/2023 12:05 am : link
have a top 3 pick and don't come out of this draft with one of Williams, Maye or Daniels then it's time for Mara/Tisch to sell the team. A decision that bad would go beyond just wanting to get rid of the front office, I would have zero faith in ownership ever again.

I don't think they're even close to being that dumb though.

Nothing is ever a sure thing but if you could pick a year to have a top 3 this would be the year to do it. I would take any of the 3 QB's over any QB drafted in the last 15 years besides Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Andrew Luck and Cam Newton coming out of college without even thinking about it.

while the hopeful franchise QB they draft w picks 1-5 can sit behind him.
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.


Yes. Just because they say it’s premature to give up on Jones (which is right bc it is harmless to bring him back next year given consequences if cutting him next year), that does not mean they are committing to him as next year’s starter (or even 2025 starter).

The best part of that article  
Mike from Ohio : 11/14/2023 11:33 am : link
is the suggestion that teams with rookie QBs typically take a step backwards.

From this season? I am not sure that is even possible. If they lost every game by 50 points it would still only be sort of parallel.

Last year, Mills had 17 TDs (3.5% rate) 6.5 Y/A, and 207.9 Y/G. This year, Stroud has 15 TDs (4.7% rate), 8.3 Y/A, and 291.8 Y/G.

Daniel Jones had 15 TDs last year (3.2%), 6.8 Y/A, and 200.3 Y/G. Mills and Jones had very similar passing production (to be clear, Jones was better due to turnovers and his legs)--my point is that a good passing offense is within our sights if we get the QB right. Maybe Hyatt can be the Dell equivalent, add a linemen or two, and we may be okay as soon as 2024.

Especially with the cap projected to be around $280m.

It's a big number but it's manageable. No need to Chicken Little it. It's a figure we'll gladly swallow if we have a quarterback on the roster, in year 2 of his rookie deal, that we feel good about for the future.

It is absolutely a 2 year contract with an out, albeit a costly one, after year 2. But not prohibitively so, and a competent FO can still operate effectively while budgeting for it in advance.

Agree completely. Replacing Jones isn't the same thing as replacing Eli. Jones has never provided much in the passing game. Even if the new QB is middling we will get what we got our of Jones at a much cheaper price.

OMG. Bob doing what he does best. He was hired by Mara Tech in his 20s. Kid out of Fordham and all that jazz, so he made sense for them. I remember listening to him back in '88 on WNEW for Giants Pre and Postgame shows and on the Giants' Weekly Radio Show that my brother and I used to prank call, lol.

Point is this: This is expected. Papa is their paid mouthpiece and it really grinds his gears that we know that the Maras are disingenuous idgits. He's doing their dirty work for them. Gott protect that table spread befo' Thanksgiving, eh?!

Look at the difference between this year and last year for the Texans. Night and Day, literally. Great young coach and superb young QB.
What are they going to say?  
AnnapolisMike : 11/16/2023 8:54 am : link
I did not bother reading all this. But bottom line is Jones is and asset and a serviceable QB when healthy. He has value and the Giants are going to do everything they can to maintain the value of an important asset.

He has little value with that contract. No team is trading for Jones and assuming his contract.

If the Giants care about efficient asset valuation they sure have a funny way of showing it, after committing one of the most egregious unforced errors in NFL history with the Jones contract. They basically negotiated against themselves and were rewarded with a precipitous asset deflation after just a few games of abysmal QB play. What do you think Jones would have netted on the open market, even before re-injuring his neck? My guess is no more than a third, $10-$15M/yr. At this point, they can scarcely do much more damage to the asset value. NFL teams aren't stupid. They will see the Giants draft a QB and relegate Jones to the status of most expensive backup QB in the history of the game. They're never going to pay much to acquire him. The asset destruction has already happened. Sure, it is in their nominal interest to make warm, fuzzy, positive statements about Jones but they will never ever get anywhere close to the value committed in return for him.
How exactly is Jones an asset?  
Greg from LI : 11/16/2023 9:27 am : link
He's a mediocre QB (and that's being charitable), who has a rather sizeable contract. The best part of his game was his running, but now he's going to be coming back from ACL reconstruction, and he had a second neck injury.

Sounds much more like a liability to me.

It's been said before but if Jones played for a different team BBI would have a field day trashing him. Put him in a Washington uniform and you'd be teeing off.

In the strictest sense he's absolutely a liability.

If you took the remaining years and money on his contract, including all of the specific ins and outs of guarantees and etc...

that contract is greater than what he could command on the open market at this moment. In my opinion, significantly greater.

The asset has financing terms attached to it, and currently it's underwater. There is no equity in it.

The equation could change over time. (I don't believe it will, and I don't believe DJ will get much of an opportunity to make it change given the injury and staring down the barrel of a Top 3 pick in a good QB class).

If he played in the division, they would trash him.

If he played in the NFC South, they wouldn't even know his fucking name.

And you defend him as if your livelihood depended on it. You’re literally on EVERY thread twisting yourself into a pretzel defending him. Your self awareness absolutely sucks. Almost as much as your QB evaluation skills
