Lombardi tweet on Jones contract

@mlombardiNFL
What has Jones ever done to deserve this deal and eat up 18.8% of the Giants’ cap? He is 6-21 against teams that went on to make the playoffs, 0-11 against teams that won twelve or more games, and according to NFL research, the only quarterback to receive a contract in excess of $100 million and never have a season of throwing for 3,500 yards, or 25 plus touchdowns.

did he just wake up today and figure that out?
I don't think Jones is good or deserves that contract  
Essex : 6/13/2024 9:22 am : link
but its just this year (and then we can get out of it) and the Giants had no other better options for this year (even if you think we should have taken McCarthy he isnt starting over Darnold--he probably wouldnt have started here either). So who cares if he takes up 18% or 12 % at the end of the day. It is just an ignorant tweet

While he’s not wrong, Mike Lombardi can’t help himself bashing the Giants.
I guess they have nothing better to do?

let's talk about this again. Why not. Give the fans what they want.

And that OL was the worst that I have ever seen in the 30 years watching Giants football! Has he been great? No, of course not, but damn the ability to discount the play by the rest of this team is mind boggling...

That Jones is a solid and average QB paid at a solid and average QB contract level

Jones received the 8th highest contract in NFL history at time of signing
Jones contract  
blueblood : 6/13/2024 9:36 am : link
was given out with the understanding that QB contracts for starters were continuing to elevate. Trevor Lawrence is about to get a 50 million dollar deal soon and he hasnt won a playoff game. Justin Herbert got a huge extension. Dak is going to get paid again. Cj Stroud will get a new deal in a year or two.

QB salaries keep going up...

and if Jones doesnt perform this year he is GONE anyway..

Lombardi really needs to drop his axe that he keeps grinding..
Really?  
section125 : 6/13/2024 9:39 am : link
Is this 400th tweet necessary at this point? Does it serve a freaking purpose.
Looked to see if there was an injury/recovery update and I get two year old crap.
Someone should roll out

How he ever got a job with his GM record.

11-21.

Such a blowhard who’s jealousy of the Giants never wanting him or his son has no bounds.
When is Enough  
NJLCO : 6/13/2024 9:43 am : link
Please just let him play and stop this past nonsense shit. Everyone is aware of the past, hopefully he is healthy and can contribute this season.
No choice but to let it play out. This is it one way or the other.

Super tweet  
HBart : 6/13/2024 9:58 am : link
I don't know the guy, nor care to, but whoever he is he's a case study.

The Giants just finished OTAs. Jones by all accounts looked great which matters in May because of his injuries. There's much excitement about Nabers and how explosive our passing game could be with him and a year better Hyatt/WDR.

And on this day, he tweets bitching about Jone's contract with cherry picked bad stats.

Jones is also the only QB in the entire history of the NFL to ever throw for 350 yards with 5 TDs and no interceptions in a game. And so?

And BTW, on the never 25 TDs (because that's a magic number?)- he threw for 24. In 12 starts.
He did beat the 13-4 Vikings in the playoffs  
Rudy5757 : 6/13/2024 9:58 am : link
But I guess the 0-11 sounds better when you eliminate playoffs. The constant bashing of the guy is crazy. You may not think he is good, but the man works his butt off, is a great teammate and is the starter for at least this year. He’s not as bad as he is made out to be. Clearly the staff thinks he is better.

He either has a good season or he’s done. It’s that simple. I think he will play well but people think he has to play all pro level and that’s unfair. He now has weapons, expectations are higher. I think he can hit 3800 yards if the receivers stay healthy.

HBart you sound like some us that defended Eli in his young career. At that time you were on the opposing side, diminishing Eli’s twenty td passing seasons. At that time twenty td passing seasons (especially consecutive seasons as a young qb) was a pretty good barometer for success.

No offense intended, but who cares if he works his butt off and is a great teammate? This is the NFL, not pop-warner. Production is what matters, not does he try hard and is liked by him teammates.

Lombardi has an axe to grind against the Giants, but what he said isn't wrong. It is just one guy who is bad at his job criticizing another guy who is bad at his job.

The point is there is absolutely no purpose to his tweet except to be divisive. None. No new info. No new insight. Only a rehash of what we all know.
Sometimes better to be silent and look foolish than open your mouth a prove it - Lombardi continues to prove it.
Lombardi doesn't have an axe to grind with the Giants

If the Giants were good and he was critical, that's a different story. But the Giants have been one of the worst organizations in the NFL for a decade now. Criticizing them is like saying grass is green - it's the only way to talk about them and not be full of shit.

The Giants deserve to be continuously destroyed for that contract. It was that fucking stupid.

Well I guess you like hearing the same shit over and over. I sometimes wonder if you like to be contentious just to be contentious.
If this dipshit offered some new insight, it would be fine. What exactly did he say that was somewhat important? Right - same shit many have been saying for a long time. Asshole that likes to hear his own voice.

If this ass can even get the anti-DJ crowd pissed off, he is useless .

What Lombardi said isn't divisive, it is critical. If you think there are people on both sides of the argument, sure then you can argue it is divisive. But if this is a divisive topic than critical stats are relevant.

You can argue he is kicking dirt on Jones and the Giants for something that has obviously not worked out the way they wanted, but not sure how it is simultaneously not relevant and also divisive.

Eric on Li : 6/13/2024 10:39 am : link
last year jones cap hit was 6.7%, next year it's 16% (or lower if cap goes up), average those 3 years and it's 13.5% (or lower), which is not only less than league average for qbs already but also lower or = to a bunch of non-qb position players (watt, jefferson, bosa, hill, adams).

but sure let's do some mindless outrage so we can get "the gm" cliks. keep eating up that misery bait and swallowing it whole.

if russell wilsons real gtd money that he's getting paid by DEN counted, he'd be QB13 and if Aaron Rodgers didn't take a paycut he'd be QB14.

and that's all counting the entirely non-guaranteed 20.6% 4th year (and the partially guaranteed 16% 3rd year).

if they exit Jones after 2 years he will have gotten ~13% over the 2 years. the 2023 tag would have = 14.5%.

"The Secret to All Victory Lies in the Non-Obvious" --And yet he's here declaring that the Giants overpaid Daniel Jones. So much for winning with the non-obvious, I guess, LOL.
