I have been a diehard Giants fan since the early 70s. I’ve always stuck with them bleeding blue all the way. I was kind of optimistic in the beginning when Daniel Jone’s rookie year was not too shabby. I found a lot of hope and encouragement. From then on, I have been more disappointed with the exception of 2022. Although the stats did not back up his play in 2022, I felt that he may have needed more weapons and consistent coaching to improve. I’ve never been a Daniel Jones apologist, but always rooted for him to succeed.
In 2023, the injuries we are becoming more concerning, and I was becoming more nervous and skeptical about his future play. We are now in 2024, six years into his season, and saw one of Daniel Jones worse performances last week. He regressed and made myself and others sick to our stomachs. At this point, I have seen enough of Daniel Jones to come to the conclusion that he is not it, and II want to not play another down as a New York Giants player. His poor play in the injury clause just totally makes me cringe.
This comes to today where deep down inside, I really want him to shit the bed to let all on the giant staff, including Mara, know he has no future as a quarterback in this league. I think the Giants can do better with Drew Locke or Tommy DeVito, although I’m not overly enthused. It’s time to rip the Band-Aid off. I don’t know how you guys feel about it and if you feel negative about this post, I understand being diehard Giants fans. This is the way I feel right now. I don’t know if there are other people on this board that feel the same way, but I want him gone without injury.
And if we have players that are willing to lose on purpose we are doomed because players like will never be winners
No. I’m not trolling. I’ve been an active member for quite some time on this board. This is the way I feel, which feels very weird. Absolutely not trolling. Like I said, I understand how some with this post. I’m not rooting for the Giants to lose games. I would rather have lock or DeVito playing to win games. I just don’t see winning with Daniel Jones.
Either way, pray he doesn't get hurt.
I sort of hope he plays mediocre enough to finally give us the answer that he is not the answer. The whole Jones era is torture. Plays bad-plays OK-plays bad-plays great.
If Jones plays poorly, and they lose, Daboll has no excuse not to make a switch. He has a team that needs to win or otherwise his job security flushes.
There’s many and a few clutter this board.
It’s sad.
Fans who root FOR the Giants this year (even after the season is lost) because they would never root against their team under any circumstances, are not bad fans either. But taking this short-term view certainly doesn’t make them better fans either, even though they’re convinced that it does.

I don't understand fans who take the Jiminy Cricket philosophy of hoping a bad player magically gets better, instead of wanting them replaced
🎵If you wish upon a star
Though we know who they are
Deep in your heart
You want Jones to continue to start
With balls thrown at receivers feet
Washington he's still supposed to beat
There's another pick six
He needs a better WR and he'll be fixed🎵
I think the part that you need to consider is that some fans don't want that player to be one of their own players, and see that player as an impediment to the success of all the other players who ARE their own players.
If the team's success appears to be at odds with loyalty to one particular player above all others, I don't think it's inexcusable or even particularly difficult to understand how some fans would want to remove all doubt in the minds of the team's collective braintrust, who have already demonstrated an incredible ability to talk themselves into the rare successes being the norm and the frequent failures being the exception.
To me, it's like watching a loved one with a substance abuse problem and knowing that they need to realize that they've reached rock bottom before they'll seek help. You don't want them to fail; you want them to overcome the challenge they're facing. But you also know that things may need to get worse before the addict accepts that the problem even exists.
What fans are actually rooting for when they ostensibly root against DJ is for the team's decision-makers to hit rock bottom on their addiction to DJ.

If you are wanting Jones to have a bad game today, then you are basically rooting for the team to lose. That is exactly what will happen if Jones has a bad game.
Now, sure I get why you want to see another QB. There is no QB on this roster who gives us a chance at making the playoffs. Therefore, the only benefit to benching Jones is preventing an injury.
The fact you started a thread about it kind of reeks of "look at me-ism" almost as bad as "is anyone else going apple picking Sunday?". No idea why you need other people's validation to have an opinion, but "wrong" isn't a word I would use on this topic.
The fact is, if you are a Giants fan and are not beside yourself furious with the state of this team and the abominable decision making of this franchise you are suffering from full force Stockholm Syndrome at this point.
The moment DJ takes his last snap under center for the New York Giants there will be a cry of freedom such that the sports world has never heard before.
Manifest away my fellow furious fan!!!
We've seen Schoen bring up the Vikings playoff game multiple times this offseason.
I can see everyone referencing today's game if it goes well.

You’re well know for quitting on a team when things don’t go your way. So you’re fandom is always questionable at best.
Catch the ball and score........
Is this not what we want?

The "bad fan police" are back in full force I see. All revved up for their hero quarterback to play well against an atrocious defense. And ready to blame everybody else on the team if he doesn't play well.

Dep-uty chief of the bad fan police laying down the law!
Someone worth listening too!
Mentally he plays NFL QB at a high school level. Single read, dink and dunk, everything close to the LOS. Nothing outside the numbers. Did he complete a pass that went more than 15 yards in the air today?
The Giants are at a QB disadvantage in almost every game. Washington is a terrible team. They have a terrible pass defense. The OL gave Jones plenty of time to throw almost every time he dropped back.
