Eli sticks up for DJ

KingBlue : 11/15/2023 12:53 pm
Manning said the Giants need to keep building around the 26-year-old, who tore his right ACL on Nov. 5 against the Raiders.

“They saw Daniel Jones, they were around him. They had him for a year and they trusted that, ‘Hey, this is a kid that has a bunch of upside,'” Manning told Andrew Marchand and John Ourand of the new Giants regime that started in 2022. “He’s still in the first year of the offense, played extremely well. He can run, he’s tough. He can make the throws. Just unfortunately, this was a tough year with injuries. … And so, I think you still got to trust your quarterback.

Not surprised by the reaction. When you read something about Jones, from the guy who played the position, that you don’t agree with, blame it on Johnny Boy

Very disrespectful to Eli by the way to suggest what you are suggesting


What should the reaction be?

Why should we trust Eli's opinion? John Elway was one of the greatest QBs I've ever seen and he was a horrible evaluator of the position as Denver's GM...

What I find funny is so many of these people who are questioning Eli's take on Jones hang onto every word Sy types in criticism of Jones. Which one knows the game of football, and especially quarterback play, better?

Anytime anybody says anything that disagrees with the anti-DJ narrative, the sicko puppet master Mara's making them say it.

The season has shown that, Jones or not, this entire football team is lost again. Unfortunately, the problems go much, much deeper than Jones.

What we know now is, the Giants are the worst team in the NFL around DJ. Again. And this is coming from somebody who's fine moving on, as I think he's David Carr'd.
I love Eli and everything he's done for the Giants  
Larry in Pencilvania : 11/15/2023 2:33 pm : link
But he's still paid by the Giants and he's the same as Papa and Banks. He's also biased in he's friendly with his replacement.

This is precious. Eli and Jones are friends you nitwit. What do you expect him to say? At least Sy is breaking down the games, play by play. I’ll take Sy’s opinion over Eli’s. I love Eli but he isn’t breaking down film like others do. He’s sticking up for his buddy.

You guys acting like it’s all settled now, Eli praised him so we are good and Jones is the perfect man for the job are hysterical. But Eli said so!!!!

I'm not as concerned anymore with these stories or quotes. They aren't going to pour dirt on the kid.

If it's April 26th and we are discussing Marvin Harrison Jr, that's a different story. I know the Giants don't deserve the benefit of the doubt, but I trust Schoen & Daboll to understand the opportunity they have here to draft a franchise altering QB.


KID? He's not a kid, he's what, 26, 27 years old. And I may trust Schoen & Daboll to understand the opportunity, but I don't trust John Mara and his man-love for Eli, the Mannings, and their adopted son, Daniel Jones. If I had to bet money, I would NOT bet against them going a different direction, not drafting a QB and giving Jones "more weapons" (as if THAT's suddenly going to make him turn into a terrific QB). I have zero faith in Mara not influencing this high pick.

Good PR move to have Eli opine  
Rjanyg : 11/15/2023 2:51 pm : link
But let's face some reality. DJ missed time with some significant injuries including this knee he will have surgery on and need to do PT. His game is his legs as much as his arm so we have no idea on his ability to come back from this.

Add to the fact that when you pick top 2 in a talented QB draft your team will hopefully not be in this situation very often.

The QB position is so important to succeed in the NFL, you need to have talent and depth.

Schoen will be taking a QB IMO.

When it comes to QB play - I'd take Eli. 16 year pro. Two time SB MVP, son and brother of NFL QBs. You don't think in his 20 years as college and pro QB he ever brokedown video/film? He does it each week on his alt MNF broadcast.
I think both Sy and Eli can breakdown QB play. They may disagree, but they can talk on equal terms unlike usins here on BBI! Another thing, Eli and Peyton see things as the happen while doing the broadcast. You sometimes hear them predict the play and outcome before the snap.

I completely agree with you about Eli and his qualifications but it only makes sense if you think this is his honest assessment and an assessment he is making with doing all the due diligence of a coach.. in this case he is just doing what a good team mate says.. Eli is a huge Giants fan and he has a bond with Daniel Jones.. This isn't a full blown assessment of Daniel Jones.. Eli has no skin in the game other than the risk of saying something honest and bad about the current Giants QB and then getting called out for it later in life..

Dave on the UWS : 11/15/2023 3:36 pm : link
the injuries, ( particularly the neck injuries, make it a different story.

If Jones was healthy (no injury history at all), you could make Eli’s case (I would still move on, but you could make a case)

Those two neck injuries make Jones a ticking time bomb. It would be irresponsible for Schoen to stick with Jones, regardless of what the Mara’s would like.
I’m sure this exact conversation will take place after the season too.

Having played with Jones and with his Giants organizational ties, if Eli really felt this ^ I'd expect half of what he said: "“He’s going to come back, he’s going to be healthy. He works hard. He’s a great teammate. He does all the intangible things really, really well," add something like "He'll put 1000% into rehab and I'm sure he'll be ready to play at a high level again."

But no I don't think Eli would add the rest of the stuff if he didn't believe it. For whatever his opinion is worth.

Why do you have to trust Eli? Why can’t it simply be him not going to throw someone under the bus and taking the high road like he always does? Why the obsession of “trusting” sports figures?

You have your opinions, what does Eli have to do with it? Outside of breaking down film and talking about it through the the lens of a former QB, what can Eli say that would have any bearing on your opinions of current Giants?

Of course I would.

Jones is damaged goods and the Giants would have to include something in exchange for a team to take the 36M and remaining guarantees.

The Giants would effectively be giving the Titans 2 years of Evan Neal for taking the horrible Jones contract off their hands.

And the Giants would get a near no-cost lottery ticket on Willis to see if he can develop as a backup.

The reaction should be one of taking Eli s words at face value. You don’t have to agree with them, but suggesting he would say these things if he believed them not to be true is akin to calling him a liar, a mouth piece for the organization never to be taken seriously in anything he says regarding the team

You critics of Jones have such distain for him as a quarterback you just cannot comprehend that someone like Eli doesn’t agree with your take. So you go into attack mode.

It s nothing new, but Eli is adored on this board, so this take must be discredited

I still believe Daniel Jones can be a winning quarterback, but I have come to understand at this point in his career, taking into consideration his inability to stay healthy, and the possibility that he might have been David Carred, it s time to draft a young quarterback.

But I find the takes on this thread hysterical, Eli has really rocked the boat

christian - you would trade Evan Neal and Daniel Jones for Malik Willis? Was that a serious comment?



Of course I would.

Jones is damaged goods and the Giants would have to include something in exchange for a team to take the 36M and remaining guarantees.

The Giants would effectively be giving the Titans 2 years of Evan Neal for taking the horrible Jones contract off their hands.

And the Giants would get a near no-cost lottery ticket on Willis to see if he can develop as a backup.


I believe you would.

And I believe if given the opportunity to get out from Jones's bad contract, you wouldn't.

See how that works?

Always fun to look back on. My favorite is "we are still rebuilding, but we are paying the QB $160M."

The signing always represented that the organization felt they were in a Super Bowl window with the team they had. Link - ( New Window )


What a thread.

When is Malik Willis considered a lottery ticket?

Man has a worse QBR than DeVito.

He's worse than the current Giants QB. Have at it.
