Please allow me to introduce myself,
I'm a man of wealth and fame.
I signed a very big contract,
After really just one good game.
I stood out at the Senior Bowl,
When the Giants felt that Eli was done.
Got "full bloom love" from Dave Gettleman,
A GM who redefined the word "DUMB."
Pleased to me you. Hope you guessed my name.
But what's puzzling you is can I up my game?
I was 'round when the O-Line sucked,
And that's been a recurring theme.
Tried not to sleep on Pio,
But I still had some horrific dreams.
Internal strife, running for my life,
When the turnstiles spun, and the pain was rife.
Pleased to meet you. Hope you guessed my name.
But what's puzzling you is can I up my game?
Had some really great receivers,
And I say that strictly tongue-in-cheek.
They gave big bucks to Kenny Golladay,
But his hip sent the team up shit creek.
And Joka was a clown, from day one he let the whole team down.
Pleased to meet you. Hope you guessed my name.
But what's puzzling me is why you all don't feel my pain?
New regime, a new broom sweeps clean,
Fifth-year option declined, end was near it seemed.
But miracles happen and we won some games,
With me throwing to guys like Johnson, Hodgins, and James.
Squeaked into the playoffs, execution stayed.
But let's face it, for me the Vikes were tailor-made.
The next week against Philly, had to show my worth,
But the Eagles brought me and the team down to Earth.
Pleased to meet you. Hope you guessed my name.
But what's confusin' you is why I still remain?
Tag was used on Saquon, should've been used on me,
But instead I got a great deal from the powers-that-be.
And then the injuries mounted and I was lost for the year.
Would the Giants move on, or were they stuck in low gear?
Well, the draft came and went, they tried to trade up for Maye,
But the Pats said nothing doing, sorry Jints, not today.
Had the chance to draft McCarthy, even Penix or Nix,
God help Schoen and Daboll both if even one of them clicks.
Pleased to meet you. Hope you guessed my name?
But what's puzzling you is there an upside to my game?
So here we are in '24, truly a historic season.
Will I even see the field, or am I once again just teasin'?
Can our WR's get open? Can I hit them if they do?
Can our O-Line keep me upright? Evan Neal, I look at you.
Pleased to meet you. Hope you guessed my name!
But what's puzzling you is how soon Drew Lock's in the game?
Staring at this lanky-haired guy
Daniel Jones, he strikes a pose
With a football in his hand, oh my
You know, he fumbles while the defense blitzes hard
He’s suddenly sacked, oh no
And we all want a touchdown drive
Man, I wish he’d throw a spiral
(Chorus) 🎵 Mr. Jones and me
Watch the game unfold
And we stare at those interceptions
He’s looking at the end zone
Oh no, no, he’s looking at the sideline
Tripping in the bright lights
Coming through on fourth down
When everybody doubts you
You can never be Eli
(Verse 2) 🎵 Well, he’s gonna scramble
Run himself in blue and red, and black, and gray
All of the painful moments are very, very frequent
Yeah, well, you know turnovers are his favorite play
He felt so symbolic last Sunday
If he knew Peyton
He’d buy himself a better O-line and pray
(Chorus) 🎵 Mr. Jones and me
Share a love for interceptions
And we stare at those missed field goals
He’s looking at the playbook
Oh no, no, he’s looking at the sideline
Sighing in the post-game presser
When everybody blames you
You can never be Manning
Apologies to Daniel Jones, but hey, even parodies have a soft spot for struggling quarterbacks! 🏈😄
I think writing is a great hobby
Man, I've been wracking my brains (or is it racking) trying be come up with a song parody since the draft was over. I thought for sure the Giants would take McCarthy since he was right there waiting for them. Not that I was a fan of his, or of any other QB prospect, really. I'm the last guy you want grading players. The anti-Sy, if you will. I just figured they'd go QB, and it's not like they hadn't shown any interest in the kid
Anyway... I tried with "Mr. Jones," "Me and Mrs. Jones," "Casey Jones..." I couldn't make anything work. I tried going in some different directions...still nothing. I was about to give up when I read the Banks thread. I felt like Saul of Tarsus, lol.
Some people need to lighten up.
Some people, like me, need to work on their emoji game.
And some people, like you, probably just need an enema.
I understand the grief will come from the fan base, and you will not necessarily being the one to cast judgement, but:
the fans have to realize Joe had ONE, not four picks at #6.
Who among Nabers, Penix, McCarthy or Nix will be Rookie of the Year? He had a 75% chance of picking the wrong player.
I can see the cart come out, heading past Daboll and Schoen
I can see Danel waving goodbye
Oh it looks like Daniel
Must be the clouds in my eyes
His deep ball is pretty, though it's hardly seen
Daniel says there no one open he's ever been able to see
He should know he's been hit enough
oh I miss Daniel
Oh I miss him so much
Daniel our QB, you are bolder than me, do you still feel the pain.
Of the scars that won't heal, you still can find
Support on BBI
Daniel you're a star, in your owner's eyes...
I'm going to the blackboard with chalk in hand and write...
"I will not steal from the joy of Klaatu's posts"
"I will not steal from the joy of Klaatu's posts"
"I will not steal from the joy of Klaatu's posts"

Back in a more hopeful era ‘Mr. Jones’ was remade for DJ
I promise you,though, if Daniel Jones ever justifies the love he's given by you and others, I'll write a song for him that will bring out the jollies in everyone.

Really good work Ray. Klaatu the master as always
Is that you Carl Banks? Can't fool me!
and SolarMike
I'd initially planned on including a stanza (or two) on the HC's and OC's Jones has had since he was drafted. But after four hours, three iced coffees, two Baccarat Rothschilds, and a big bowl of Rhythm Afternoon Delight, I decided to wrap it up.
Those lyrics are one Keith Richards solo away from the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.

I do, too, although these days the bulk of my writing is on topics that would get me banned here.
You know, there are plenty of BBI members whose posts I really enjoy reading, primarily because their football acumen is a lot greater than mine. I learn a lot from them; I'm certainly not going to compete with them. So, I try and carve my own little niche here with song parodies and movie-related pictures with funny captions. Anything to lighten the mood, especially when the conversations get super heated.
