So their receivers are WORSE than piss poor? Remember that other chart a few weeks ago showing negative separation for their receivers? Weird...
That’s an eye opener

Worst in football…by a lot. You can see where all the good teams land. Big outlier seems to be the Redskins, maybe an indictment of Howell and/or Rivera. Bills underperforming, maybe a strong close by them is coming; weakness for them seems to be on the other side of the ball.

the "draft OL" in the 1st crowd?

If we somehow end up out of range for the top 3 QB's I think it's something we should consider. That chart if accurate is damning. If anything a new OL coach with a track record for success should definitely be brought in. I hope they already have a list of candidates.

The diagonal lines connect the same value on the X and Y axis.

The giants might be right around the same score in both. The diagonal lines are 20% intervals and allows you to see the plot point better when comparing the two grades.

The game over game progression, particularly with time to throw (or whatever stat figured in to account for QB vs OL sacks).

I'd think we'll just be bad to meh with Thomas back, rather than historically dysfunctional.

From an analytical standpoint, I always wondered what each QB would do if they were on the opposite teams. Living in Philly, I get to see a QB with the absolute historic level #1 oline, two #1 wrs, a top 5-10 tight end and running back…….versus what DJ has. #1 situation vs #32 situation.

Probably safe to say that it’s a lot harder processing the field behind the #32 line than it is behind the #1 line.

It's almost like in order for a line to be considered good, it helps to have a quarterback who can do his part to make that line look good.

Most of our games were Danny and tyrod, who have experience and Good Seasons under their belt, so this chart is an exceptionally bad look for our offensive line.

I'm perfectly OK with taking Fashanu or Alt, moving Neal to G, and taking a QB in the 2nd (or trading into back end of 1st). We've got to try to improve that unit, and good FA Tackles don't come cheap.

DO you watch the games? The OL just played its first full game together with AT back. Even without all the other injuries and street replacements - compare the NFL record of QBs with/without their starting OLT. Then make it an All-Pro OLT. It's not pretty.

Jones played poorly. Part of what sucks about that is it's impossible to tease his crap play out from OL play that was markedly worse (with obviously worse players) than the other guys.

How Taylor played so much better thing is kind of comical . We scored 9 and 14 points with him as the starter. I do feel like did some things better and some worse. He certainly got rid of the ball a little quicker.

And I am not saying Jone was playing well because he wasn’t but Taylor wasn’t doing anything great either

DeVito got sacked 9 times. The line wasn't so great for him either. What is notable is that Daniel Jones played worse than an undrafted rookie free agent QB making his 2nd start. That's the headline.

right. DeVito sucks. I agree. And many of Jones' sacks he's holding the ball too long, like a zombie, or failing to pickup protections and reads. Can you agree with me that Jones sucks too?

All our QBs suck.

Again, Jones took this team to the playoffs last year and that team didn't have a lot of talent. But the Oline was at least functional.
Jones might be worse than both Taylor and DeVito when given a historically bad OLine. But, he is better than both when given some decent protection. Both can be true.
Imagine what Jones could do with his legs if we had the heads up open field blocking the Eagles have.
Instead we get Bellinger out there whiffing every chance he gets

Your assertion is not crazy at all. I might agree. But with "functional" Jones and the Giants got demolished by the Eagles the very next week. And to start this season he was not able to function. I think these data points disqualify him as nothing more than a bridge starter in the NFL. At some point you will face pressure in a playoff run. It's almost impossible to maintain an ideal situation.

I don't believe in settling on anything but a great QB. Jones will never be great. The contract was ludicrous. We could have gone so many different directions and quite possibly be better. You don't pay for mediocrity in the NFL.
You can't judge a quarterback playing with this line.  
Reese's Pieces : 11/22/2023 10:08 pm : link
You just can't. And Tyler had Barkley and Thomas. Jones looked good enough at the end of last season.

The problem with Jones, what makes them have to find another, is two neck injuries, and a torn ligament on a running quarterback.

Even Thomas has been a huge disappointment this year. An OL of losers this year. The OL coach sucks ass, too. How he hasn't been fired yet, who knows. But this is the same organization that has kept Ronnie Barnes and even inducted him into the Ring of Honor despite the fact that the Giants are the most injured team in the league for at least a decade now, lol.

So this is the standard now? Find a QB good at running away from sacks and pressure? How about pumping resources into it until it’s fixed? 12 years of shitty OL play has warped people’s brains.

QBs contribute to pass blocking success or failure. You’re going to need to spell out how this makes DJ an acceptable QB, because done raw stats sure isnt convincing.

Nice information-thanks for posting  
Lines of Scrimmage : 11/23/2023 8:27 am : link
Seems pretty evident when you watched a lot of games this season. Obviously, AT and SB being out impacted things.

Good to see the running aspect included. The Giants have had mostly a poor #carries/YPC since 2013 (great destruction of the LOS) and it impacted the pass game. They are connected.

Three game stretch this season (Seattle, Miami and SF) where the RB production averaged 16c/36y/2.25y. I would not expect good pass protection and passing production. Not with the talent and coaching on the team.

Then the running numbers (carries/ypc) improved significantly when SB returned and then AT. So seems upgrading the talent behind SB would be a good thing.
