I agree with most of your post. And maybe not a disagreement, but an observation. If Schoen let the developments with Barkley influence how he handled Jones, he deserves an elephant sized kick in his balls.
Giants just matched up better with the Vikings

from a overall talent perspective. Lazy analysis just making it about a poor ranking Vikings D.

The next week against was about the Giants being outmanned at most positions in that matchup against the Eagles. On both sides of the ball. Jones part in that loss is debatable but some of the takes to the negative are pretty over the top.

How Daboll handled the end of the first Giants offensive series suggested to me he knew he had a less talented team.

I agree. I just think there was no world where in Daboll's first year and the first playoff win since SB46, both Jones & Barkley weren't returning for year two with Daboll. I'm not defending it, I just see no scenario where that was realistic.

And it goes back to your original point. If the Giants liked Jones enough to start him in 2022, they should have protected themselves with the 5th year option. They walked right into the scenario and were unprepared. There should have been no scenario which took them off the tag for Jones in the event of a good year once they declined the 5th year option.

I completely agree Sean.

I think Schoen was unprepared for the (illusion) of success. Which is disappointing, because he had a front row seat in Buffalo in 2017.

Beane wasn't fooled by the 9-7, playoff bid, Taylor-led season. Beane went right to work to upgrade the QB position.

There's no need to overcomplicate the outcome of the Vikings playoff game. Jones played well against a very bad defense. That was a poor reference point to judge Jones. I'm sure it didn't help when Schoen's boss declared they were back after.

Should we ignore how epically bad the Vikings D was? That playoff loss to the Giants was just a continuation how bad their D had been all year.

But they defied logic with their improbable one-score wins. A testament to that offense and Cousins/O'Connell.

The Mike White Jets, Mac Jones Patriots and Teddy Bridgewater/Skylar Thompson Dolphins also really "matched up" well with the Vikings in 2022. Three of the 10 opponents that gained over 400 total yards against them.

Mac Jones had a better game against Minnesota in 22 then DJ, with more passing yards than DJ had pass+rushing, and also with 2 TDs. Mike White put up 369 yards against Minnesota that season in a losing effort.

If DJ puts up the exact same stat line, but the Giants lose the game (like NE and NYJ had in the reg season) is his performance heralded? Does he get the big contract?

So yes, I would prefer to have Jones on a 2 year guaranteed deal than have Malik Willis, who doesn’t know how to throw a NFL football well enough to play the position in any scenario.



Shouldn't you reserve judgment on Willis until he's had five years to play the position...

Let's be honest. Your guy has played five years and we're still uncertain what we have?
NO,

YOU

are uncertain.

The Giants, the current management had him for a year and then gave him a nice contract.

He won a playoff game away with a shit cast and was the NFL player of the week during the playoffs. You are all free to circumstance that away all you want. Jones was great a number of times in 2022. Go back and look at the games Jones played in 2023 BEFORE he was injured and evaluate the OL play. It was on pace for over 100 sacks.

That said. I would draft a QB because of Jones injuries but we know Jones can play. I can easily imagine what he could do with better players. I am with Colin on Jones. Is he stupid too? He could be wrong but the take isn't ABSURD LIKE ALLL OF YOU TRY TO PAINT IT.


We know what the Giants thought.

We will find out what they think after the draft.

I admit, I don't know what they think right now.

We shall see.
Then why’d they leave an out?

Not to defend Schoen, but Beane was moving off a sixth round QB which was drafted by the Ravens. Schoen would have been moving off a first round (6th pick) QB drafted by the same team. A QB in which the owner made public statements about including right after the Vikings win labeling him "a franchise QB" - it was much less complicated for Beane to move off Taylor as it would be for Schoen to move off Jones.

It's not an excuse to Schoen, just because his situation was much more complicated with the ownership dynamic doesn't mean he couldn't have franchised Jones, or had the foresight to pick up Jones' option to buy time. I think you referred to it as a 2 year, $30M contract at the time.

Johnny5 : 2/22/2024 1:17 pm : link
I don't understand all of the focus on the Vikings game, from either side of the Jones fence. They were not a strong team, but it was still a good win. The Giants brass did not base their contract to Jones on just that one stupid playoff win. Our team is not a good team. It was not wrong to feel DJ elevated the play of a bad team on offense specifically along the OL, and landing them some good wins including in the playoffs. He did. Our OL and offense overall could not handle a front like Philly's, so LoS matchup comment is not off base. And then we started 2023 against teams that we matched up with terribly the prior year... that FG block and Andrew Thomas was lost for those first 6-7 games was gigantic. As was a very real and obvious lack of preparation in preseason. I know the popular thing is back to shitting all over DJ again, but he is what he is, a middle of the road NFL starter. Saying dumb shit like Taylor and/or Devito (or Stidham etc. lol) are somehow better than him is disingenuous at best.

I agree, much more complex because of ownership. But in reality, 2017 Taylor had accomplished more as a Bill than Jones had as a Giant.

It was such a confounding choice to not pick up the option. If Schoen didn't believe in what he saw on tape, he should have cut him. And if he did believe in it, he should have picked up the option.
Do you think Trubisky is worth paying $82M guaranteed?

I agree, but I also don't get why we act like these are the only two seasons Jones has had.

I think from year 2 on, Jones has consistently been unable to produce in the passing game (yards or touchdowns) who has a few elite games a season. Reasons can vary (Jones himself, surroundings, etc.), but I never saw someone with a particularly high ceiling.

Daboll did a great job designing run plays for him last season and Jones did a superb job executing them. But I didn't view last season to be as gargantuan a step as some made it out to be.

I'm not even interested in shitting on Jones. It's not his fault he was drafted #6 and it's not his fault that the Giants gave him that absurd contract.

I have literally nothing against Daniel Jones, except that he's going to cost nearly 20% of the cap in 2024 to play QB for the NY Giants. That's on Mara, Schoen, and Daboll.

I will absolutely shit on that trio, in that order.

Jones has the Minnesota win. Which we know per the DJFC, was only slightly below one of the Super Bowl wins.

allstarjim : 2/22/2024 2:08 pm : link
I'm not kidding.

Since his time with the Jets ended, he's 8-9 as a starter. Since his rookie year, he's 25-29.

For backup money, a guy that does have some really good games on his ledger, can compete with Jones, can reasonably serve as a bridge QB to a rookie, and is a guy I'd like to see get a chance to work with Daboll for a late-bloom gamble...it's an intriguing possibility for me.

Probably won't happen but I'd love to see it. I get the perception of him, but he's not as bad as most people think, and we're talking about backup QB money here. I think it would be prudent, in particular because it would allow the Giants to start the season with DJ on short-term IR. Taylor is gone after this year, I don't think with DJ's injury issues you want to start the year with DJ, rookie QB, and DeVito.

Reese's Pieces : 2/23/2024 2:27 pm : link
Jones played well enough in 2022 to be the starting quarterback. In 2023 has one of the best possible excuses: his offensive line increased its sacks allowed from a dreadful 49 in 2022 to an impossibly awful 85 in 2023. Even Mahomes under pressure threw one awful interception and almost another. Also played without Barkley.

Average of 5 sack/game in six DJ games. Average of 5 sacks/game in the other 11 games.

Using 3 or 4 prime pick to pick a quarterback when there is no consensus on which is the best is a big gamble. Lose and you set the team back two or three years. Draft OL and Edge with high picks. A good O-Line makes all the skill players look better.

Start Jones on a short leash. Have another young quarterback ready to audition if Jones fails. A draft pick they don’t have to trade up for or a young quarterback who was drafted high and failed with his first team.

Do you have a better explanation for the common fallback argument of "there's no consensus player at that position for where we're drafting!" whenever someone simply doesn't want the team to draft a player at that position?

There's never a consensus among GMs because that's not a polling sample that actually exists.

That should say "But that goes back to being against making a pick JUST TO MAKE A PICK, which I agree with.

I have a hard time accepting that explanation because you'd never hear about individual views on specific players, you'd only hear about generalized "team" views on those players, at least until after the draft.

I honestly believe that some fans just think that if Street & Smith's has a different positional ranking than Mel Kiper, and both of them have a different ranking than Todd McShay, and all three of them are different from NFL.com, that means that none of those prospects are worth drafting at all.

Or maybe they just think that anyone else will buy that as an excuse when they really just don't want to see their favorite player potentially get replaced.

Maybe? I can only speak for myself. I know you guys consider me a fanboi, lol... I want DJ to succeed if he's the Guy they stay with, but at the end of the day I just want the Giants to win. If they REALLY like one of these QBs, I want them to go get him. I'll root for whoever starts behind center to succeed.

I wonder if the people running this site can identify who some of the dupes used to be.
