You Think it Can't Get Worse?

You wanna bet? I dunno ...
I don't think QB play gets worse than Jones yesterday  
GiantAmongMen : 9/9/2024 4:47 pm : link
Maybe Glennon vs Bears and a few Jake Fromm starts. I'm 38 and nothing else these eyes have seen has come close to as poor.
the bigger fear is something truly clownish like the wink saga

but on the positive side i think that's also the surest way to get regime change if that's what it comes to.

i actually dont even think lock would be worse than yesterday. it would be similar or maybe even better. depressing times indeed.
It can always get worse.

Slayton has a concussion.

We may have to put Jones on punt return!

Anything to protect my boy Slay.

Lock or DeVito would be an upgrade over what we saw on Sunday.

Being objective (even though its hard for me to) Jones is still, based on track record, the better QB...except the problem is that since his neck injury vs. Miami, he is UNPLAYABLE as an NFL QB.

Its malpractice to trot him out with this level of play. Sunday he should be on a short leash, and if its more of the same early, I would be LIVID if they do not put Lock or DeVito in.
I know it's only 1 game but  
DeVito32 : 9/9/2024 4:54 pm : link
there were a lot of people raving about Nix this preseason and how good he looked and how well he played. They don't game plan in the preseason and most defenses play vanilla. Nix was awful yesterday.

I'll stand by this forever. I'll take Nabers any day of the week and twice on Sunday over Nix. And even more so if we get Beck, Sanders or Ewers next year.

Your parents may have shielded your innocent nine-year-old eyes from the horror of Tommy Maddox's one start against Philadelphia.

Daniel Jones and Mitch Trubisky looked great in the preseason as rookies, too
Well buckle up

In all seriousness Daniel Jones looked a lot like vintage Drew Lock yesterday.
I just want to see the ball flying through the air  
Jerry in_DC : 9/9/2024 5:04 pm : link
With a chance that one of our WRs can run under it or jump and catch it. Just the moment of anticipation of the ball in the air and the possibility of something exciting happening.

That's all I want on offense at this point.
Correction: Maddox didn't start that game.  
Big Blue Blogger : 9/9/2024 5:07 pm : link
Reeves benched Brown, then had to give him the job back the next week after Maddox fell on his face.

Brown got hurt in that game IIRC and couldn’t return
A shitty game  
Blueworm : 9/9/2024 5:10 pm : link
As a rookie and a shitty game as a sixth year vet making rookie mistakes are two different things.

You have hope with one.

Go with Lock  
GiantTuff1 : 9/9/2024 5:15 pm : link
“worse” would be Jones playing, sucking as he normally does, getting injured, and harming our 2025 cap. There is no risk to our cap if Lock is playing.

Rip the god damn bandaid already and signal a clean slate to the fanbase and that not everyone in the building are blind imbeciles.

Indeed. The guy who is debriefing us on how Nix played doesn't know what number he wears or what he looks like.

If you know it's one game, why make the point?

Nix/Denver was on the road in one of the most difficult places to play in the NFL.

And despite being his first game, Nix had a 30+ QBR. Jones? 17. And Jones, in case you forgot, is in his 6th year.

If there are football gods, Lock replaces Jones - sooner rather than later - and Slayton goes on to have his best year ever.

At that point, christian may have to head to the swamps of Jersey and fellate Mr. Lock.

Tiki said it best (paraphrased) -"What is the identity of this team ? I know what they intended to be that way the built the team ......"

"He's playing like a rookie, but he's a 6 year NFL STARTER" ...

Tiki wants to give him 1/4 season; I give him ONE more game (vs Washington). That's it.

Just like the Bears, we need the number 1 draft choice to get who we truly want but can we trust JS to make the right call?

After every play I said to myself, "Ok he got up, can still pass the physical in March" hahaha ugh sonofa...

I think Jones, Lock, & DeVito all suck. But I can't wait Daniel Jones anymore. I just can't. I'd rather watch Lock, DeVito, or some bum off the street @ QB. Anyone but Jones.

I think DJ was worse. At least Lock would TRY to throw the ball deep and hey, he did beat the Eagles last year.
I think at 0-4 you have to pull Jones  
DavidinBMNY : 9/9/2024 6:20 pm : link
And I'd play divito.

At this point your trying to determine if divito is a legit #2 QB candidate.

Also Jones should have been pulled yesterday.

TBH I don't care about his "confidence".

Note, I wish Jones no I'll will, I'm sure he feels awful, but he's paid a lot of cash and can't perform. For the fans at least give them hope.

With the Giants

Can’t function like that as a QB.

6-23 for 40+ yards and 3 INTs! 😮 lol
This is the best tanking strategy in NFL history.

Well, I have been a Giants fan since 1955 and have seen some truly horrible teams with some truly terrible qb's, like Jerry Goldstyne! It just seems like the Giants can not put together a strong defense, or a competitive offense. Will we ever see another Big Blue Wrecking Crew defense?

Good one!
I'd rather watch DeVito than either Jones or Locke.  
BigBlueNH : 9/9/2024 8:54 pm : link
For the same reason I liked watching Joe Pisarcik more than Dave Brown. He's not supposed to be an NFL QB, so you cheer more for the kid, and anything you get is gravy. I seriously doubt any of the 3 is our starting QB next year.

Glennon was better than what I saw yesterday.
