BBV User on DJ at practice # 6 (It may only be funny to me)

KingBlue : 7/31/2024 9:04 am
This is from the comments section after yesterday's Training Camp article at BBV. From User atl23:

"Class, it is once again that special time of year at BBV. That's right -- the hourly, obsessive referendum on all things Daniel Jones! Yippee! Yes, go ahead and cheer, it will never grow tiresome, only more invigorating and constructive. All of you who think Daniel Jones is worse than Ryan Leaf with no arms, raise your hands. Okay, a goodly number. You in the back with the Eli Manning neck tat, stop making armpit farts. Now, all who think Daniel Jones can be better than Justin Herbert, hold up your juice box and scream "Danny Dimes!" Hmm ... nobody except that kid eating glue. My class materials said that was going to be a large contingent. Anyone who thinks Daniel Jones has a chance to be a Top 15 QB if he recovers from his serious knee injury and last year's American Horror Story offensive line which traumatized him worse than watching Mel Kiper twerk in a speedo, please leave the room. We have no time for moderation and sensible takes here!

Now, please write a short essay on why today's offensive struggles during the sixth day of training camp -- that's an eternity! -- is a sign that the season is doomed and the Mara family is secretly calling the plays to placate a Russian oligarch with incriminating photos from the same Chinese buffet and massage parlor in South Florida that got Bob Kraft in hot water."

Because, for the past decade, poor practices and preseason games translated to poor opening of the seasons.

I don't blame anyway for having a feeling of dread that the offense is having accuracy issues, without the bullets really even flying.
Looks like I picked the wrong

I may be wrong, but I remember DJhad terrible camp in 22, then came out in the regular season and earned a payday. Then he looked good in preseason last year, but sucked when it counted.
Am I misremembering?
So true

Through a keyhole.

There's not much to pick up, other than what the coaches are trying to do.
Success at that will be shown later, not now.
I learned my lesson

On taking too much from practice after going to training camp least year and feeling it was the best I've seen Jones look. I won't make judgement until we see him in some live game action.
Outside of that opening drive in preseason last year the offense has

looked like crap in practice and preseason games for the last decade or so. The narrative is always “they are playing a vanilla scheme” to explain the preseason games or “haven’t gelled yet” to explain the practice struggles.

I don’t buy it and poor practice and preseason performances concern me a lot more now than they did back in the Eli days. The crap play has translated to the regular season on the offensive side of the ball every year for the last several years. This is why the team is generally out of contention by Halloween every season.
Thanks Kingblue!

The OP was much more enjoyable than the same old stale comments it predictably evokes.
