Garafalo: Giants Pleased to See 'Fiery' Emotion from Jones

Lambuth_Special : 10/29/2024 11:13 am
We know that Mike G has a close line within the organization, so is this their selling point for year 7 or something? I can't comprehend how this is real; hope it's just a speculative tweet.

Quote:
If there’s a positive for the #Giants and Daniel Jones, it’s that he showed some emotion last night I know they’ve been waiting to see from him. Brian Daboll: “I loved it. I loved seeing his competitiveness. … It’s good for him to do that.”

Great. I look forward to seeing a fired-up Daniel Jones in 2025. Wait until you see how he plays when he has fire in his belly!

Gives us his usual 1/3 terrible games, 1/3 mediocre games when he has plausible deniability for losing, and 1/3 good games, this time with yelling. Can't wait.

This is just meaningless coachspeak, doesn't reflect the true opinion of Daniel Jones inside the building.

If he does actually come back for a 7th season, then it's time to truly give up

My question here: Is Mike G referencing Daboll's comments, or have FO people communicated how pleased they are with his emotion and he's hinting at it here? the latter would be very alarming.
I  
AcidTest : 10/29/2024 11:25 am : link
think all of this is just talk. Daboll has to find something "good" to say about Jones to try and desperately justify why he should remain the starter. Previously it was that Jones is a good teammate, a hard worker, and tough. Now it's that he's "fiery."

It sucks and it's stupid that they won't bench Jones, especially since he could get hurt and trigger his $23M injury guarantee, but he's gone after this season.
Since it's Halloween season,

Section331 : 10/29/2024 11:32 am : link
Talk about setting the bar low, ooooh, St Daniel got fiery! Wow, let's sign him to another extension!

Sure, he can forget to move the TE to help with TJ Watt, he can throw an awful pass off his back foot (with limited pressure), over his WR's head for a pick, but he showed fire! Give him $60M a year! You can't let that kind of fire out of the building!

Here's the issue though. Garafolo doesn't say it's what Daboll wants to see in Jones, it's what "they" want to see, and we know that Mike G has inside sources. Maybe the word 'they' was purely referring to the coaching staff/players, but you can't discount the possibility that it refers to ownership/management given Mike's background.
Daboll does not like Daniel Jones  
Jerry in_DC : 10/29/2024 11:38 am : link
He is (badly at times) playing a public role that he needs to play.

People can shit on Daboll, but the guy is an accomplished, experienced offensive coach. He knows exactly what is happening on offense and with the QB.

If Daboll has one regret, I'm sure that it was designing the 2022 offense to accommodate Daniel's massive limitations. He did a great job of coaching that season, and it's ultimately going to lead to him losing his job.
Lol  
BigBlueShock : 10/29/2024 11:39 am : link
And that “Fiery” emotion got Jones so fired up that he proceeded to fumble the ball on a sack where he forgot to get the TE in motion to the other side and then a horrific overthrow on the interception.

I don’t want to see Jones fired up at this point. It’s too late for that. Especially when the only way to get him “Fiery” is when it’s someone else’s fault. Whenever he screws up there’s no fire, just the sad sight of walking depression…

Clarify your point. Are you saying that Brian Daboll is so dumb, incompetent, and oblivious that he thinks that Daniel Jones is a good QB?

Yup.

Giants are making themselves (well they might be already) the modern joke of the NFL. We all laughed at Jerrah back in late 90s and Snyder for 2 decades - but this Giants episode of 2013-2024 is just as bad, and statistically worse.
Finally...  
bw in dc : 10/29/2024 12:15 pm : link
some of that hard work we keep hearing Jones puts in is paying off - he's up to "fiery".

This is a big step on the road to Season 7 of the Jones Experience.

If you think fan backlash against Jones will work  
Lambuth_Special : 10/29/2024 12:18 pm : link
I doubt it. All evidence suggests that this organization simply resents the fans for criticizing Jones and believes they know better.

Around this same time last year, Ralph V put out a tweet basically previewing Jones's return, saying that the organization had 'failed' him by not putting together a good enough supporting cast. He got massive backlash but it didn't change a thing. The Giants only want to feed us the Jones slop no matter what we say.
Kinda like a stat I way at the Yankees game  
jpetuch : 10/29/2024 12:26 pm : link
back in nearly 90s when they were really bad. Cant remeeber the batter,maybe Wayne Tolleson, but his BA was at the Mendoza line and they put up some stupid stat like he was 4/11 in his last 3 games to make us think it was encouraging.

I disagree. It's done. I think you can take the DJFC as a proxy for where Mara's head is. He is basically your median member of the club. He's always said the exact same things as they do. Even last year and coming into this year the club was alive and talking "make or break year" etc. Now even it's most dedicated members have disappeared or handed in their cards.

Mara himself declined to offer support for Jones when he made his comments last week. This season was wasted to prove a point. The point has been proven.

If we keep JS/BD, they're getting a QB. If we start over, we're staring over at QB.

That's an interesting take re: 2022. In retrospect I bet Daboll does feel that way. They were never going to fire him after his first season, so he really should have forced Jones to play in a passing offense that Daboll prefers just to underline Jones' shortcomings. It would have saved this franchise a whole lot of grief.

Ordinarily, I would agree with you, but I completely burned myself last year when I was sure they were done after the Eisen report and them scouting QBs heavily.

Again, we're getting signal that they're planning on moving on, but we get this ridiculous insider tweet from Mike G that basically implies the org is encourage by his 'fire'; I have not seen evidence that the people in that building are anything but rabidly supportive of him even moreso than the DJFC (I'd say the pro-Jones people on here have very much cooled off this season).

So while the Mara non-response was encouraging last week, I remain skeptical.

I think they really like Jones and resent the media and fans for being critical, and would keep Jones even if it meant zero fans showed up to Metlife.

I actually think that if Schoen stays on, it's the most likely scenario for Jones departing (see Hard Knocks "year of Daniel"). If they bring in a new GM, however, they'll screen for someone who will promise to keep him around one more year.
My gut still tells me Schoen and Daboll were given a mulligan by Mara

from throwing the ball two seconds after he should let it go over and over again like the hospital ball that almost got Slayton beheaded.

but it was at least defensible that an improved OL and WR1 would cause an uptick in DJ's play. Sure, the guy's inside the building need to know what's what, but it's defensible.

Now, there is no defense for running it back again. He's got enough to produce this year and he isn't getting it done.
