Does this look like the face of someone whom feels confident in his job security?
Many here were speculating Daniel Jones speaking to media was Mara's way of easing fans into the 2024 season with DJ, a new and improved offensive line and an elite WR prospect. This face makes me feel like Daniel is extremely insecure about his position as QB of the future for the NYG.

Funny you should ask, he looks out of sorts to me.
It looks like the neck injury was much more serious than we were led to believe. Coverup?
If you think he looked "normal" yesterday, we'll agree to disagree.
And it was noticed across social media.
Probably the reaction of a player who realizes his time with the team could be limited.
Quite limited.
But Daniel didn't look right today. I've seen a bunch of his interviews the past five years and he hasn't looked like that.
I'm in the camp that you are overthinking this, I thought he looked fine, I have a lot of confidence in his ability to bounce back this year, he needs help from the o-line.
He did not seemed bothered or irritated by any of the questions.
Shots of him in the players meeting too were very much unlike him.
Is that any different from the "defend Daniel at all costs" Baghdad Bobs we have on the forum?
Again, check out the reactions of non-Giants fans who have no skin in the game. They all noticed.

Or..
He's coming off a surgery where he probably has been on some kind of pain medication and he's now using something else to help pick him up.
110% correct, this place is so QB centric, how much better can DJ be if he had a RT that was not a shopping cart? I really hope we traft Alt, that is the best thing for this team, Daniel Jones is not our problem.
For the love of God Joe Schoen, please have the compassion to cut this kid as soon as he is healthy so he doesn't have to embarrass himself or this franchise ever again.

I'm not a believer in Jones, but even I have to admit this is harsh. 😂
That’s the internet. Post a pic of anyone famous looking like that and you are going to get the same responses no matter how good or bad they are at their jobs.
& it wouldn't shock me in the least if he wanted to get out of NY & start elsewhere.
Again, I think its best for both sides that once he can pass a physical...we go our separate ways.
Lol this. Twitter absolute cesspool

Does it mean much?
Probably not.
Agreed, I laughed out loud at the face though. I can see the young Jim Carey comparisons.
Holy eff Batman. You can get a still out of a video that makes anyone look silly.
Truly pathetic take by people.

DJ has a lot to prove and the jury is out on him still but this comment is out of line.
The Giants clearly failed Jones yesterday
We did everything we can to ruin the kid.
I do think all this has gotten to him. How could it not? Even if he is able to block out all the media, he still sees Mara saying if Schoen loves a QB he can go get him. This all coming just 1 year after he was slated as the future of the franchise and winner of our first playoff game in about a decade. Then it all comes crashing down 1 year later.
How could he not feel stressed, anxious and ambivalent about his future? Then you consider the fact that he might have concerns about his neck deep down and he's still recovering from a torn ACL. There's a lot going on behind those eyes, I guarantee it.
If he did have part of his thyroid removed before the 2022 season, this very well could have been the reason.
Yup. I totally get it too - he knows this is a really perilous time for him with so much at stake - physically, medically, roster wise and even financially farther down line.
Anybody who doesn't see anything off with his physical behavior in these videos is just being disingenous.

Here is the thing he is set financially if he never plays another down and is well spoken and likable ie a broadcasting job is to had somewhere for some extra income post football. Injuries happen in football rehab and do the best he can do it'll all fall into place. It is all on his mind but he has shown to be an evenly balance guy rehabbing an injury and fighting for his spot is not new to him. Like he said he took advice from 2 guys that rehabbed the injury successfully. He'll be fine. Anyone would have considered all the potential outcomes negative and positive at some point. Why are people acting like that is isolated to him as a person??? We have seem players and coaches actually spazz out ... so if this is bad then we really need to be on Daboll's back for his interview and interpersonal communication tactics ...

Anxiously touching his face was what made me wonder. And then this just didn't seem right. I feel for the guy, I really do. I know he's a 100 million dollar man and all, but that's not fulfilling his childhood dream of being a top NFL QB.

I don't think anyone said it was bad, just clear to many here that he's got a lot on his mind and in no way is he the definitive future QB of the franchise like he was last year. It's a bit if a Rollercoaster ride for him in the past year.
If the Giants have told him anything about their draft intentions, then they’re even dumber than I thought.
The infamous photos of Eli (when he first struggled) - of him looking "tipsy" (inebriated).
Or YA Tittle steaming blood from his head, or Frank Gifford laying unconscious on the ground with Chuck Bednarik standing and celebrating over him.
Is it a love-hate manifestation of how some Giants fans feel about the players, I'll never understand.
DJ did not develop the skills needed to be a great NFL QB.
However, there is a part of me that would not mind having to suffer a little more time just knowing that you will be suffering even more because I think you deserve it.
So thank you, this draft is now a Win/Win for me.
Are you kidding with this?

I'll always be rooting for DJ. This has nothing to do with that.
Eric should run a test on this. Make a pinned DJ only thread from now through the draft and I bet it’ll have a ton of traffic the first day or two and then fizzle out by the weekend.

So now they're even analyzing the look on his face. Unbelievable!! I don't think he's worried about anything. IMO, the Giants have kept him fully informed, told him he's #1 and any QB selection will be precautionary and a future project.
Are you kidding with this?
I've been listening to JS and BD tell all he is the starter a number of times. I know many on this board disregard that as draft strategy, but I don't think so. It's seems obvious to me that they do have confidence in him and want to surround him with some help. Of course, health issues could change things. My opinion.
It's easiest to just blame Jones for the team's failure, and this also makes the Giants easiest to fix. Just replace Jones.
Forget about 2022 and just give his 2023 teammates a bit of blame and we're almost ready to roll replacing Jones.
Next year will probably be his last, due to injuries and shell shock as much as lack of talent. Simms says he's certain Jones has the talent, and Mel Keiper said he's shown flashes of brilliance. You are probably right, but have not been fair to the guy.
No.
