Jones has gathered Giants teammates for private workouts in North Carolina and fun on Lake Norman.
Time to Gel. Lets go!

I'll gladly debate football with you. For starters, what does Maye have to do with how Terps and I feel about Daniel Jones?

The point was made that the Giants are happy with Jones…. Was it not?

The point is that when some fans want the Giants to cut ties with Jones, that's allegedly bad fandom.

If the Giants built the offense around Parris Campbell and gave him $160M we'd all want them to acknowledge the error and move on. For some reason that doesn't apply to young Daniel.

What happens when the Giants change QBs?

The likelihood of finding a top 5-10 QB in the draft is remote.

So it is likely that you will be railing against the next selection.


Since 2018 the Giants have passed on Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, Jordan Love, Jalen Hurts, and Brock Purdy. It isn't THAT rare to draft a good QB.

You have to try, though. And the Giants aren't doing that. They drafted a bad QB in 2019, which in itself is no sin. But rather than acknowledge their error they are throwing away years trying to prove they got that pick right.

THAT is the sin. I don't hate Jones. Playing QB in the NFL is hard and he can't do it. Neither can I. Neither can most people.

The people making the decision pay him and keep playing him...those people are screwing us. They are fucking up our football Sundays. Those are the guys I have a problem with.

Exactly. No one hates Jones and no one is rooting for him to fail. He's done that all on his own.

And no matter how the Giants really feel about him, they keep voting with their actions.

No, that's literally what happened. One of BBI's resident twerps offered that up fives posts into thread. Which turned the direction of the conversation.

wow talk about a snowflake...
... That is a horrible stretch.
Some of the posters here simply want to reiterate that they believe they're smarter than everybody else and that no matter what, everybody else needs to believe that Daniel Jones needs to fail.
You're either rooting for him or you're not... Unless you literally want him to be mediocre.

It seems you are trying to have it both ways.

Not what I saiid or what I think you want to believe.

If Jones magically turned into a MVP leading us to a SB this year - I would imagine you be very excited, cheering him on, and giving him compliments.

Go Terps has openly rooted for him to fail. There’s a big diffeeence no matter however he tries to spin it.

Where passion is present, so is the real possibility of hate.

Many fans are quite passionate about sports. If a fan sees a particular player as being in the way of them enjoying their sport(s) then I can realistically see them actually 'hating' a player. The thing is, most would not dare admit it.

Do I think some fans actually hate Jones? Yep. I think there is a realistic possibility some of those fans participate in this forum.

I do agree that critiquing a player does not necessarily mean hating a player. I also think the labeling of hate goes too far and is often over-used. Each fan knows if their dislike of a player has drifted into actually hating them or not.
LOL, Nice to see we can have a mature discussion

No need to get pissy. You made a simple provable mistake and I showed you the evidence.

As far as what other posters need, I'm not in the business of divining those intentions and I'm pretty sure you're not very good at it either.

Let's try and debate on the statements people have actually made. That's difficult enough given the venue, without treading into mind reading.

For me, my wishes are clear. I want Jones to play great football. I don't expect that, and based on his past don't believe that will happen.

If he doesn't play great football, I'd prefer he fail unequivocally so the Giants can move on.

X : 6/27/2024 2:22 pm : link
no Giants fan rooted for the Giants to lose. Why? Because college football wasn't on every station and the majority of fans didn't know most eligible draftees or the great players. And we loved our team regardless of their record. Sure we got pissed. I lost sleep many nights and went to work mad for a few days.

Now we have casual fans who think they are draft experts. The fans and other so-called experts believe we should have taken JJ, Penix or Nix this year. Go-Terps said "Since 2018 the Giants have passed on Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, Jordan Love, Jalen Hurts, and Brock Purdy. It isn't THAT rare to draft a good QB." Seriously Terps? What about all the QB's drafted during this time who are not franhise QBs. There are far more misses than hits not to mention coaches who don't know how to develop a QB or the turnover of coaches. And other factors that make or break a QB such as the talent around them, injuries etc.

Life is too short to hope for next year or the year after. Some of us won't be on the planet next year. Too bad we can't all act like HopeJ. I will root for the Giants and DJ8 to win no matter what. And I'm not wasting my bosses time since I'm retired. I'm going to go play with my grandson since this palace is so freakin divisive and negative.

At least I don't lose sleep anymore or act like a fool over a game I don't have any control over.

By the way, I remember when we (BBI) drove off Kent Grahams family. Was it this bad then?! I don't know. No wonder BB56 stays away from here so often.

Short of personally hating him, I hate basically everything about him as a Giant.

I hate how little he plays, I hate how lost he looks on the football field, I hate how much losing he's been a part of. I hate how much the Giants appear paralyzed in making a change.

I just wish that when there is a thread that is clearly discussing something positive about Jones that it might just stay that way.

There are too many people that need to remind themselves that they are more important than the discussion.

Nothing would make happier than being wrong about Jones. But this is the same logic as being wrong about Solder, Golladay, or Waller.

I wanted them to succeed, but they repeatedly fell short.

The Giants had the good sense to cut ties with Golladay as quickly as possible. They didn't have that good sense with Solder.

I will root for the miraculous this year with Jones because he's on the roster. But I will not root for mediocrity that will increase the odds of more mediocrity.

Apparently life isn't too short to make excuses for a QB drafted #6 overall who is going to cost $47 million against the cap this year.

Archer : 6/27/2024 3:05 pm : link
So I want you to go on the record.

What available QBs would you have drafted last year?
What available QB would you have drafted in 2023?

What are your credentials to make the evaluation?
Why should I trust your judgment?

Did you play college football, perhaps you played QB?
What are the metrics that you use to evaluate a QB?

This is all b...t

I can't stand hearing armchair QBs who have no clue talking as if they are experts. You know more than the coaches, more than the GM.

Aren't you the one who contended that Taylor was a better QB than Jones?

Didn't you say that the Giants should sign Wilson?

I am not defending Jones but there are worse options out there. I hope that Jones turns it around and has a great year. I hope that the Giants win the Super Bowl.

My interpretation is that Terps just wants it to be obvious to ownership/management that it is time to move on.

I've been wrong on some, right on others. There's a search function that allows you to go back in the archives if you want to read my past posts. If you agree with my opinions, that's fine. If you don't, that's fine too.

But there is one key thing that is absolutely not a matter of opinion: for the last decade the Giants have been one of the very worst run organizations in the league. I believe the Giants' unconditional love for young Daniel is just the latest in a long line of symptoms telling us what the disease infecting the Giants is: incompetent ownership.

This has been well understood for years, and yet this management team made him the highest paid player in Giants franchise history.

Therein lies the problem. Let's assume everything you say is true, and Jones does have a decent statistical year.

Does anyone realistically think that the Giants as an organization are going to reach the conclusion that you (and many of us) have regarding a championship?

Like many posters here, the organization tends to see any signs of progress and evidence that "the arrow is pointing up".

Fair. Two questions, then.

1) What is that level, in your estimation?

2) Do you think the Giants would view my hypothetical numbers the same way you do?

On the latter, I have my doubts. That's why this conversation matters. I believe that as an organization they would see that as enough improvement coming off ACL surgery to give him another year - and that I would absolutely hate.

Since 2018 the Giants have passed on Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, Jordan Love, Jalen Hurts, and Brock Purdy. It isn't THAT rare to draft a good QB.

You have to try, though. And the Giants aren't doing that. They drafted a bad QB in 2019, which in itself is no sin. But rather than acknowledge their error they are throwing away years trying to prove they got that pick right.

THAT is the sin. I don't hate Jones. Playing QB in the NFL is hard and he can't do it. Neither can I. Neither can most people.

The people making the decision pay him and keep playing him...those people are screwing us. They are fucking up our football Sundays. Those are the guys I have a problem with.



Great post Terps. Anybody who doesn't see the nuance here is either a shill, delusional optimist or gaslighting troll. Daniel Jones will ultimately be in the conversation as the worst quarterback ever to play the position in the NFL. This has been well understood for years, and yet this management team made him the highest paid player in Giants franchise history. Who gives a flying rat's ass as to his offseason kumbaya activities.

And as Christian points out, Rory started this with his gaslighting edict to root for a specific player rather than the Giants team as a whole. No statement could be more offensive to a true Giants fan.


Worst QB to ever play the position?

Guess you were fed paint chips as a child 😂😂😂
Daniel Jones has quite possibly has the worst  
arniefez : 6/27/2024 4:34 pm : link
resume of any QB that has been an unchallenged starter for 5 straight seasons (about to become 6) with the team that draft him.

Justin Fields got 2 years
Kenny Pickett got 1 year
Mac Jones got 2 years
Zac Wilson got 2 years
Trey Lance got 4 games
Baker Mayfield got 4 years
Josh Rosen got 1 year

What has Daniel Jones shown on the field on game days that merits an unchallenged NFL starting QB job for 6 seasons? It's infuriating to a large section of the Giants fan base that because the owners "like" him Daniel Jones is treated like a tenured college professor regardless of his resume.

In 2022, the year that made him 80 million guaranteed dollars, by any measure Daniel Jones was an average at best QB. The other 4 years he's played for the Giants he's been a bottom 10 or bottom 5 QB by any measure.

Name another team in the NFL that would have Daniel Jones as their unchallenged starter in year 6 with his resume coming off a second neck and ACL injuries. It's NFL football malpractice. We can't fly planes over the stadium anymore so we vent on BBI.

Exactly. I would expect HardTruth to be educating this board as we go forward with FACTS comparing quarterbacks with 60 or more starts in NFL history. Not emotional pleas, laughable insults or trolling nonsense. I think you will be hard pressed to find any other quarterback in NFL history who has performed as poorly as DJ has given a six year starting runway and seemingly limitless "scholarship" support to try to achieve success in this league.

Wow, you are 100% delusional, don't know a thing about football history or just trying to look like an idiot.

Daniel Jones 62 TDs (not including rushing) 40 INTs, 85 rating.

62 TDs and 40 INTs, plus the rushing TDs, a playoff win... it's not top 100 in NFL history but it ain't anywhere near the bottom. In fact in the game's history it's WAY closer to the top than the bottom.

The unanswerable question (and the reason JS and co. kept DJ) is:
If DJ was drafted by the Eagles, 49ers, Miami,…would he be on your ‘good QB’ list while we lament being stuck with Hurts, Purdy, or Tua?

I'm 45 years old. Simms was my favorite player growing up. I also loved Eli immensely, and supported him prior to that first Super Bowl.

It's insulting to them to compare them to Jones. They were good quarterbacks; Jones is a poor quarterback. It's easy for you to ask whether I'd hate him if he won the Super Bowl, won MVP, or cured cancer. His odds of doing any of the three are the same, and we'll never get an answer to that hypothetical question.

I'll say again I don't hate Jones. I actually respect him and his agent for taking advantage of the idiots running this team. Jones has turned meager NFL abilities into a fortune. He was not recruited coming out of high school, and he wasn't particularly good in college...but he parlayed that into a lot of money. He's an inspiration for untalented people that are willing to work hard.

That never happened.

Hey Terps

How many years did it take Simms to become a good Quarterback? Six? Seven?
BTW, I'm substantially older than 45, FWIW.
