Should Jones have been benched?

GiantTuff1 : 9/8/2024 4:17 pm
1. No
2. At halftime, if not for poor performance then for a spark
3. After the pick 6
4. Late in the 4th quarter

No

There is nothing behind him …benched for what
Yes benched so he doesn't get hurt and we owe him a ton of money

Get Lock some time
It's the first week  
Kanavis : 9/8/2024 4:21 pm : link
You give him the end of the game to try and find a rhythm. But it's fairly clear,to everyone except the Giants that he just can't make decisions quickly enough to play QB in the NFL.

But it is indefensible to not have benched him in 4Q. Serious WTF….
After the pick 6, absolutely,  
Section331 : 9/8/2024 4:22 pm : link
but we can’t challenge his scholarship. Bringing in Drew Lock as a backup was such a short-sighted decision.

At halftime. It was clear he didn’t have it.
DJ shouldn't be benched

he should be released.

2. Is the pope Catholic?
3. Does the bear shit in the woods?
Of course

Send a message to the team that we aren't going to take losing, and that if a player isn't pulling it they will be replaced.

Besides I can't beleive Lock or DeVito are worse, I mean they have to be better than what we just saw. If not then bring in Tannyhill.
YES!!!  
Fishmanjim57 : 9/8/2024 4:25 pm : link
This is the 7th straight game that Jones wasn't able to get a TD in the first half, but today he raised his level of ineptitude by not scoring a SINGLE TD FOR THE ENTIRE GAME!
Bench him, cut him, or trade him, just get rid of him!!

Was at the game, Lock would have been a welcomed change. Jones threw behind and low.
Jones’ checklist for this game  
BuryMeInBlue : 9/8/2024 4:35 pm : link
Throw a stupid pick - check.
Throw more than one pick - check.
Constantly overthrow/underthrow receivers - check.
Miss wide open receivers - check.
Got happy feet - check.

Compare that against what he did well:

-

Hm… looks like he should have been benched.
have to look at film  
bc4life : 9/8/2024 4:38 pm : link
wrs - were they able to get open? and they had some drops.

Daboll's play calling?

not defending Jones play but think this shit show was a group effort

Yes  
Gmen703 : 9/8/2024 4:40 pm : link
But the backups are uninspiring. Maybe if we had a Tyrod on the team to give us false hope.

Two drops were due to shitty ball placement.
the one pass I recall to Hyatt was a bad throw  
bc4life : 9/8/2024 4:42 pm : link
that should have been caught
Better question  
OlyWABigBlue : 9/8/2024 4:45 pm : link
is how much of a leash does Jones get going forward.

That was one of the worst QB performances I've seen in a while. Sadly its not a significant deviation from the median or mean of what we have become accustomed to with Jones.

I don’t normally think this way but there’s some logic to it.

If he’s healthy then there’s no reason to think the light is going to come on after all this time. This is who he is. Playing him is bad. Getting him hurt and having to pay his injury clause is worse. If he’s released, there’s no danger of triggering the injury clause.

Why not just bench him? Because then you have a QB controversy among a bunch of bad options. There’s probably be a controversy over Lock vs DeVito but at least that’s only two guys.

Random thought: Can DJ play tight end or RB? Can he be used like Taysom Hill?
Yes, but they weren't going to do that today  
Ben in Tampa : 9/8/2024 4:58 pm : link
Personally I think they should cut him, but to be extremely forgiving, they can give him until halftime next week before pulling him.

Giants4me : 9/8/2024 7:01 pm : link
in person. Daniel Jones is a fire drill on every play.
never comfortable with his reads, focused only on one side of the field.

The Giants ran a play today at the Vikes 30 where Jones had two men running free on the left....he didn't see either and threw into tight coverage on the right.

Looked like the same play he threw the 98 yard int vs Seattle.
He didn't look left at all.


He's Jim Plunkett. No confidence.

This is actually really logical. You don’t want that injury clause affecting the 2025 cap.
I think if he comes out next week  
nygiants16 : 9/8/2024 7:08 pm : link
and is playing the same way, Daboll woll go to Lock in the 2nd half and see if he can get a spark..

I really dont think Daboll is going to stick with Jones regardless of what we think of Lock
Apparently Lock is still not healthy  
arniefez : 9/8/2024 7:11 pm : link
and the Giants didn't want to risk further injury? Devito being inactive he could only play if both Jones and Lock were hurt.
He shouldn't have been on the roster  
Go Terps : 9/8/2024 7:12 pm : link
Now it's too late.

It’s arguable that he should be taking any snaps due to the potential 2025 CAP ramifications in case of injury.

Dankbeerman : 9/8/2024 9:10 pm : link
We needed to get points on that drive. Instead he threw a td to the other team.
I've been as patient with Jones as anyone  
Kevin_in_Pgh : 9/8/2024 9:20 pm : link
But I would have benched him at the half. He definitely wasn't the only problem, but it just wasn't working for him at all.
I honestly think next week is his last start  
nygiants16 : 9/8/2024 9:22 pm : link
unless he plays better, i think Lock will be in the game to start the 2nd half and go with Lock and Devito the rest of the way

Be interesting to see if you're right.
I've got a host of issues with QB and HC...  
BillKo : 9/8/2024 9:37 pm : link
...but yes, he should have been taken out after the final pick int the endzone.

Lock hasn't played since the first presesaon game, would have been a perfect time to get some reps during garbage time in case you need to make a move next week versus WSH.

This is just ONE example of multiple issues the head coach had today with a wide range of responsibilities he's failing this team.

Group effort indeed.

But in between the opening calls, the calls in the redzone after the turnover, the failure to throw some deep balls, the failure to go to hurryup/still running the ball down 28-6 in the third corner........

Daboll has seemingly lost his mojo from his rookie season. We saw it last year...he's coaching not to lose rather than to win (like he did versus TN).

If he doesn't trust the QB, then it's a double indictment of him not to play Lock - because Lock can't be worse than the performance I saw today.
Yes

This is a good point. It was garbage time by then, better to get Lock a few reps.

The QB behind him will fail too.
