Gonna be a rough year

barens : 4/29/2024 11:50 am
Not necessarily with how the Giants perform, but every week, there are going to be endless comparisons and what ifs. I know this is generally an every year thing, especially on BBI, but 2024 should be something special.
Ooo yeah  
terz22 : 4/29/2024 11:54 am : link
I can see it now especially for how JJM progresses. He actually has a really good situation he's finding himself in. It'll be a weekly thread if he has a good game no doubt.

Micko : 4/29/2024 11:55 am : link
If the line performs well and our pass rush becomes dominant then I don't see why it can't be like 2022. Who knows. It's typically the opposite of what we all expect.
JJM is going to win a Super Bowl one day. I wish him well

Than Jones when both are playing? Like imagine McCarthy doesn’t start until after Thanksgiving and outperformes DJ from that point until week 17?
Even Bo Nix,  
barens : 4/29/2024 12:00 pm : link
who has maybe a similar situation at Denver than with what he would have had here. And Penix, who'll likely see the field given Cousin's age and injury history.

And then there's Drake Maye, even though the effort was there for a trade, every good performance will be dissected. And I'm sure we'll hear plenty regarding Jayden Daniels, even though they had no shot at him.
It has already been a rough year

Every year will be rough until we figure out the QB position. Unfortunate, this is the nightmare that just won’t end. Even hearing that Daniel Jones cloned himself so when we cut him, we can draft Daniel Jones.
Another factor why it could be hard for this regime to survive  
widmerseyebrow : 4/29/2024 12:11 pm : link
It's Jones/Lock vs. JJM, Nix, and/or Penix in 2024 and 2025. If one of the latter takes off and we're struggling to get into the end zone again, oof.

The official line is that none of them were rated highly enough to be considered at #6 over Nabers. Unofficially fans are wondering if Mara had his finger on the scale for Jones again.
Gonna be weird  
djm : 4/29/2024 12:21 pm : link
When the giants win 9-10 games and some fans here lament that Jones was a big part of it. Fear of the contract will be the focus as always. Fear of not cutting him and getting out from under it and all that bullshit.

Team is slowly getting better, but people are gonna go fucking bananas about Moby Dick white whale.

You can hold me to it, Daboll and or Schoen are not getting fired after this season. I’ll bet on it. i’m not gonna bet that they’re gonna be good, but I will bet that they won’t be too bad.

no one is getting fucking fired because the Giants aren’t thinking the way many on Bbi think.

Fine by me….I have plenty of trust in these guys ….I know they are smart in what they do….how would we have made it to the playoffs in year one without some smarts? They also proved themselves in Buffalo…but don’t forget both GM and HC are on the job training too seeing this was the first year for both of them. I’m okay to watch them also grow through making mistakes.

When will this happen? Next season? If it doesn’t your hypothesis is already at risk. Mara isn’t keeping this duo in place if they miss playoffs the next two seasons.

I was thinking the same, he really got lucky. Unlike the other guys, he walks into a position surrounded by quality players. arguably the best WR corp in the NFL, good OL, very good RB in Jones, and a dome. If he can't do well there he'll have a hard time anyplace else.

I think you're right on that one, but if evaluated solely on performance, their seat should be at least getting warm.
I'd like to see Daboll with his QB

Agreed, if he doesnt have success...will speak volumes on his evaluation.

I do see how anyone can thing that when it clearly stated that Joe and Dabs can make the call how they see fit and they tried to trade up with earnest for Maye. As stated in other threads previously getting a rookie QB cools both the seat for the coach and GM in the short term. Joe felt Jones was better than the 3 QBs tier 2 QBs.
As long as Jones is under center  
Fishmanjim57 : 4/29/2024 1:04 pm : link
It's going to be a rough year. I have zero faith in him. Schoen could build a wall around Jones for protection, but that won't help his lack of accuracy.
At best, Daniel Jones is a backup QB. Through the stupidity of the organisation they're paying him like an elite QB.

People are tired of listening to the Jones complaining by the same people everyday but it probably will continue. Just ignore it.

You think they could survive a 5 win season where Jones sucks, Nabers struggles and JJM/ Penix/ Nix all play very well as rookies?

I wouldn't feel good about giving them another offseason and high draft pick.

I'd be fine with it, they deserve a chance at taking their own QB. The roster is being built well imo, a good rookie QB would transform everything. They deserve a shot at that.
So, what's new?

The qb situation is figured out, Jones is a top tier qb who now has better players around him and will win 10 games! The defense has gotten a better so Jones won't have to be playing from 2 td's behind and having to throw on every down!
I think the bigger annoyance  
BJacobs The Tiptoe Bandit : 4/29/2024 2:03 pm : link
is going to be that the Giants will probably be a middle of the pack team, and after every loss there will be a specter of Bill Belichek looming over everything.

There is one way out of this- Daniel Jones shows the F up and just balls out. That will quiet everyone and everything. Can he do it? Who knows but that is the secret sauce.

Yes, I think that would be good for the franchise if they get a good rookie QB then they deserve a shot at that. The season will come down to DJ succeeding or failing. It won't be on Schdabs if they fail. And if JJM or Nix succeeds in Minnesota or Denver that doesn't mean they would succeed here, especially JJM with all those weapons in Minnesota.
so many dumb takes here  
Bruner4329 : 4/29/2024 2:13 pm : link
JJM is going to win a Super Bowl someday? Really how many positions can he play. PS the Vikings have never won a Super Bowl and they have had some QBs that were really good. I mean Fran Tarkenton was pretty damb good and the had a good defense with Page and Eller to name a couple. Thinking one guy who has yet to prove himself is going to win a Super Bowl is lame.

And how does it not fall on Dabs or Schoen if they have another bad season? I'm not following the logic.

I feel like it's all on Jones whom is Mara's boy. If we fail, it will fall squarely on Mr. Jones' shoulders.

Penix won't play this year, Nix is an ideal fit for Payton and JJM has a top notch offense. So, it's not fair to compare imo. It will hurt as a fan, but Mara won't see it that way. And if the season is terrible it will be because Jones can't cut it. Mara will he forced to accept that and he can't scapegoat anyone, it would be stupid to do so. Give the roster, gm, and coach a chance with a top qb in the first round if that's how it goes down.
