So making money makes you immune to getting pounder by idiots 24/7?


What? Sorry, but hard for me to feel bad for a guy making $40 million dollars.
People keep using the word narrative

The facts are what they are:



The rest...the excuse making, the rationalizing...THAT is the narrative created to explain what is an undisputably poor record of performance in 5 years in the NFL.

Terps, what cracks me up is when people point to '22 as some sort of All Pro like season. The dude threw 15 TDs in 16 games started! I'm no Gerald Lambeau-'Good Will Hunting' reference-but even I know that's less than 1 TD per game. In this era's NFL, that is pitiful.

They learned a word. They want to use it. They haven't a fucking clue what they are talking about.

They didn't *ask* him to throw more TDs. [/s]

As if you have to ask an NFL QB to throw more TDs.
Everything I don't like hearing is a 'narrative'

Googling Banks earlier, I did come across this:

"But he has to play better when he gets healthy. He will have to resume where he was starting to ascend to, and if he doesn't, they're gonna move on."

Barring a major improvement, I do think 2024 is Jones' last season as a Giant.

...at six f'ing YEARS of people defending Jones with every excuse in the book. It's crazy. Just crazy. The folks who ask 'if Jones was on another team, what would Giants fans think of him' KNOW Giants fans would laugh their asses off if the Commanders had Jones then paid him that crazy contract, and kept him around year after year after year just because he reminds the Owner of a cross-eyed Eli. Unbelievable. Yet every year it's excuses and more excuses for this mook from Duke who makes Dave Brown look competent.



Ahhh another excuses guy.


Ahh, another Pollyanna.
bwitz is the type of guy

Fact is injured or not, sorry or not, he's still our guy.  
FStubbs : 5/18/2024 6:23 am : link
But ... all things being fair, the Giants should keep their word and give Drew Lock a fair shot at the job. It will be very interesting to compare the two.

Also.... DeVito let his 15 minutes get to his head. Let's see if he can improve.
Carl is a loyal

company man to the end.

But the real story here, is why are the Giants using a dedicated mouthpiece this far out for this kind of story.

I think Jones' best season, numbers aside, was his rookie year. He was in the Shurmur system and that was when he earned the "Danny Dimes" nickname.

Yet you think Jones is the one guy they got right. You have no problem trashing everyone else they drafted, the coaching staffs, the food vendors and everyone else under the sun. But Jones is somehow Teflon for you. Beyond criticism for some damn reason. Laughable
In my opinion - what's tired  
gidiefor : Mod : 5/19/2024 1:11 pm : link
is watching the Giants come out on the field with Jones at QB and starting out the game in lack luster fashion


I am so tired of watching that reel -- so, so tired -- that tape does not seem to change very much

I wish and pray that tape changes; I really, really do. But it's the tape I haytes - and not Daniel Jones. I want the guy to come out and ball. So far it seems more like a wobble.

and Madeline Kahn said it best -- "I'm so TIRED!"

and on top of that there is a lot of JDS out there for sure

The easiest way to enjoy it all...  
Brown_Hornet : 5/19/2024 8:31 pm : link
...is to not care about DJs feelings, or, the feelings of the fans that are bashing him.

None of it should affect how we enjoy the games.
