I don't think anyone is rooting for a deliberate tank job. But getting a QB is priority #1. See Jayden Daniels.
They're not going to tank  
Go Terps : 10/6/2024 9:38 pm : link
But it isn't going to be good if they run it back with Schoen/Daboll/Jones in 2025. It won't take too many wins to make that happen.

You're repeating yourself you said this word for word on the other thread...
I would like to end with pick 18  
charles355 : 10/6/2024 9:41 pm : link
trade down a bit get more picks and draft Drew Allar in the 20s
No, I want to win. I want to win every single game we play.  
Anakim : 10/6/2024 9:46 pm : link
I want to win the Super Bowl this year. And I hope the best for DJ.



And I want a QB with the 32nd overall pick.

After today, I would guess Jones has received a stay of execution from 1925 Giants Way.

And he's back to being 50/50 as the 2025 starter.

to help draft position once the season is essentially over but we’re far from that point at 2-3 five weeks in.

Let’s try and make the playoffs with our young GM and coach. Two playoff berths in three years is a pretty good start considering what Gettleman left Schoen.

ryanmkeane : 10/6/2024 9:59 pm : link
Again, for the absolute morons that are posting tonight:

The Giants are 2-3 and have 12 games remaining. They competed extremely well against Washington and Dallas, and you can argue they should have 1 won of those games minimum.

The season is still very young with 2 winnable games at home coming up.

Talk of “tanking” after we are just getting the season going and the QB that everyone wants gone having three 100+ QB rating games thus far can get the fuck outta here and go root for another team.

This is so fucking stupid I can’t take it.

Ralph.C : 10/6/2024 10:07 pm : link
QB is a priority need?

Yeah. We need to find a tough, developing, young, hard working, accurate, mobile and fiery QB to replace the one we already have.

Can’t you see what’s happening here? Jones has NEVER been comfortable in the pocket before now. Finally, he’s in a year 3 of the same coaching regime and has an offensive line that protects him. As a result, his skill set is starting to take hold . He’s becoming dangerous.

And the dude is tough as hell.

I keep yelling “Slide Slide!” but he powers through for the extra yards. Now, that’s scary for both injury and turnover reasons. However, it’s just his style. He reminds me of Bert Jones from the 70s Colts.

If you can’t see the possibilities of this team and this still young QB then I don’t know what to tell you.

He’s almost as good as Kent Graham.

Eightshamrocks : 10/6/2024 10:50 pm : link
I can name a dozen QB's who were supposed to be "can't miss" who were busts. I'm also not fully convinced with Daniels yet. The Skins fans all said RG III was the second coming in 2012. At some point Daniels is going to get hurt with that thin frame. Let's also see him next season after teams have a year of film on him. He looks great now, but we'll see.

They need to score more pts. We all know that.

It’s trending upward. Last 3 weeks. 21, 15 and 29.

I feel like the statement of let the season play out has been completely ridiculed and mocked around here because this place has gotten fucking dumb lately, but let the fucking season play out.

we aren’t running the team. We have no control over how these games play out. All we can do is wait and see what happens. The giant offense is getting better.
No shit we don’t run the team

Your idea of letting “it play out” is basically only discussing the play by play.

That would put Eric out of business

Missing piece from this team was a QB, we could all enjoy an out of nowhere playoff season and this team really surprising. But we all know what happened in 2022 when this team strung some wins together. We kept a shitty QB and paid him like a good QB. I fully expect they will make the same mistake again.

This front office still wants to be proven right about Jones the same way the same clowns on this thread do.

Two things can better at once. Jones can play well now and then, and the Giants can’t rely on Daniel Jones.

Unless Jones completely shits the bed, it’s already over for moving on from him. They’ll win 7 games and Jones will throw 20 TDs and that’ll be good enough for the people calling the shots.

Jones could lead the Giants to the NFC Title game and you'd still say to get rid of him. It's funny how you are saying people want to be proven right about Jones. That is exactly the same thing the Jones detractors do, just in the opposite way. And even after that performance today, you're still calling him a bad QB. After you of course said the Giants and Jones had no chance today. It's just more doubling down.
Every QB that makes the NFL is capable of having

That doesn’t mean there aren’t bad QBs in the league

Right now, Jones is the prohibitive favorite to start in 2025.

I'm tired of watching Jones play QB, but today was an interesting game and performance for him because he did it without his security blanket Nabers. This may be a blessing in disguise where Jones should now start scanning the field for more options than just #1.

But you guys already said Jones wasn't capable of a performance like that today, on the road without his #1 reciver. You guys already said the Giants had no chance before the game. So when they win, all you do is shift the goal posts. Now it's "any given Sunday" all of a sudden? Interesting
I’m not sure what you’re talking about  
ajr2456 : 10/6/2024 11:50 pm : link
Many people predicted the Giants to win 6/7 games. That requires beating a couple of teams that are better than they are.

That's not the relevant comparison.

The relevant comparison is the 25 QBs vs the 25 non-QBs.

If you are tanking this year, using the pick on one of the QBs would be a waste of the asset.

Wasn't that the problem with picking Jones at 6?

What is the false hope? I'm curious. Schoen built this team with the intent of having a strong pass rush, that's been coming to life. Most on BBI liked the Burns trade. Most liked letting Barkley walk.

So, is it being sick of Jones at QB or is it being upset with the overall roster build?
 
They still need a QB.

Of course they do. Most of the NFL does. If that is the ultimate deciding factor and everyone should be fired because of it, that's fine. But that's what I'm curious about.
The other issue is the OL  
Sean : 7:37 am : link
The OL is the best it's looked in years. Pass rush looks good. If this is solely about the QB that's fine, but there are other things that look better. So, I'm curious what the evaluation of false hope is based on.

I am not sure Jones was scanning the field more versus we had a more explosive running game that kept our opponent honest and there was a lot more scheming to get guys open than Daboll had done previously. Someone like Nabers can get open without scheming so it is easy just to rely on that.

To be near enough to the top of the draft to grab a potential franchise QB.
I can’t root for a “tank job” as I can’t watch the Giants and hope they lose. But in retrospect, after each loss, I don’t feel as bad as I would if we were contending for a title. Which we are not.

Jones is a workmanlike, QB manager but in watching Daniels yesterday, and Williams, I want a QB like that.
