NFT: The Great BBI Civil War

averagejoe : 4/26/2024 12:41 pm
Last night was like the first shots on Fort Sumter. The long brewing hostilities between the DJFC and sane, rational people has erupted into open fire. State vs State, brother vs brother, giant fan vs giant fan. What are the conditions acceptable to both sides so that this madness might end ? A winning season ? Daniel Jones retirement ? A better draft ? How can we restore the peace ?
we went a long way last nite

By not drafting JJ!!
Give DJ 1 more year...hopefully with some semblance of protection...
Here's how  
rsjem1979 : 4/26/2024 12:44 pm : link
10 wins
24 PPG
4000 yards
25 TDs

No excuses. Right?

2 things, 1) it's just football and 2) we have absolutely no control over any of it so the side you're on really doesn't matter. No one can do a damn thing about it other than bitch and complain :).
Amusing, but this is really overrated  
mfsd : 4/26/2024 12:48 pm : link
it’s more a debate between those who want a better QB, but are OK with us not forcing a pick for JJ if the Giants weren’t sold on him, and those who won’t be at peace until Jones is publicly executed

DJFC? Sane, rational people?  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 4/26/2024 12:50 pm : link
Neither of those exist on BBI.

There are like 5 people who want DJ to be the starting quarterback going forward. There’s also a large segment of people who apparently do nothing all day except for thinking of new and repetitive threads to bitch and moan about Jones.

I wasn’t on BBI because I was watching the Knicks game. Imagine my disappointment when I clicked on the Malik Nabers thread and a sizable portion of the conversation is complaining about Jones.

This, I think the DJFC is a very small group. It’s the rational who want a QB but don’t want to force Jones 2.0 vs. the take a QB no matter what crowd.
The terms  
pjcas18 : 4/26/2024 12:54 pm : link
for peace are wins. That's it.

I'm not even on a side of this civil war, lol, I don't care if Tombstone Packer is the QB, I just want the team to be good and win games.

How about 11 wins, 24ppg, 4000 yards, 30+ TDs. As a kicker, Mara sells the team to someone that values performance over optics and lets actual football people make decisions.

I agree, I get the banter but it’s such a smug, smarmy way of speaking to people. They come off as irrational which is ironic.
Can we bring back the Political threads?

This. How about talking to people like they just have a different point of view, not that they are bad/stupid/evil people.

"hostilities between the DJFC and sane, rational people"

No, there's 3 sides here. The DJFC, the New QB or Nothing group,  
j_rud : 4/26/2024 1:21 pm : link
and folks who recognize they punted on it for a year, rather than mortgage the future for a rookie who wasn't even going to play put of the gate. You can identify these folks by the absence of passing and moaning.

First thought I had.
Ignore the bad behavior  
Thegratefulhead : 4/26/2024 2:20 pm : link
We drafted one of the highest graded players of the last decade at premium position.

Temper tantrums ensue

Why?

Because a bunch of people think they know some much better without access to the scouting information the decision was based on.

Is what it is.

I have to tell you, Terps has been annoying me for a couple months. It's just over the top and the volume is too great.

To watch him blow his gasket like this is pleasing to me.

Lol. Just one more year. Guys been in the league for 5 years and has shown he doesn’t have it but, sure, let’s just keep the scholarship going. Hey! Maybe, by the time he’s in his 10th year, they’ll have enough talent around for him to actually show what he’s capable of!

LW_Giants : 4/26/2024 2:35 pm : link
discussing and debating it on here, but I'm not going to lose sleep over Daniel Jones. I'll follow the Giants like I do every year, but probably not with the same enthusiasm or zeal as I had in the past. Fans don't get to dictate personnel decisions for teams, and teams don't get to demand unflinching loyalty and approval from fans for every decision made. It is what it is this year for the Giants.

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. It must be nice not to care about the wins and losses.

There's a reason this time of year is more interesting than the actual season.

I was a big fan of the political threads and an active poster. There's no way that would work in this climate. I have no doubt I would have a difficult time being civil. So let's just continue having DJ and supporting cast the most divisive thing here.

This. And those obsessed w the mythical DJFC is definitely a sign we know who iwill be first in line for an AI girlfriend. I can it wait til Jones is gone. Injury prone and crappy. But jfc. You guys need to get a hobby or laid. And since you can’t get laid a hobby where you leave your mom’s basement please. Play station isn’t a hobby

Since Jones’ contract was announced. Watching Terps blow a gasket and quit was cool AF. He came back when the team went to shit, weird right? Upside down fan. lol

The Giants clearly like Daniel Jones. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate watching intelligent people resort to specious argument and use fallacies as a crutch.

Go Strawman!

it is fun for me.

Continue please.
I demand a written confession

That JJ would have been a reach,and that we are lucky to not draft him...

What convinced you that the Giants *clearly* like Daniel Jones, was it:

1. Daboll throwing a tablet at Jones' head
2. The Giants desperately trying to trade up for Maye
3. Jones incompetant play in 2023
4. Rumors they are done with Jones, and Mara confirming they were considering a new QB.
