True, but if Eli starts our DBs wouldn’t have to ever run more than 20 yards downfield. They’d be rested up for week 3. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you force Jones out there too earlier, with a fan base that already hates the pick, it could be a disaster. crazy thing is I think the Giants are going to be better than people think.

Yeah, maybe after throwing for 4300 yards and 21 TDs and 66%, he's suddenly forgotten how to play pro football and the kid with the mediocre record/stats from the basketball school will be ready week 1 after Manning calls it quits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for giving me more evidence how useless QB stats can be. Bottom line: 5-11 often times looking totally lost with the game on the line. As I often say to the stat boys. If stats told the story instead of coaches & players spending hours watching film, they'd just hand out a piece of paper at team meetings, go over the stats & never watch a minute of videos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go look at D Jones's "bottom line" at Duke. Two Toilet Bowl appearances in 4 years. Unless Manning is out with injury, he's the starter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The only way the Bills face Jones in week two is if Eli is hurt. The New York news media has continued to throw Eli under the bus. They have unjustified expectations for the Giants and are looking for any glimpse of hope (Jones) to make a fast turnaround. I'm not an Eli Manning fan but to ignore how bad their o-line has been for the last four years is disingenuous. Even when they had a decent record, there were holes in the offensive side of their team and Eli was under significant pressure most of the time. I expect them to be bad again and I expect the New York sportswriters to be apoplectic over it. Long time Bills fans know what a bad team looks like and the Giants have that look.

Nick the Greek Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I know Eli has 2 rings and is a Giants legend. But you are gonna let a guy keep starting well after he’s a good player? He’s been terrible for the Giants for basically the past 3 seasons, yet he’s still the starter based on his Super bowls. I wouldnt be surprised to see him finally lose his starting job.

H2o Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) The only thing that worries me about the Giants is Barkley. He's got that Barry Sanders type of effect to a game. Edited June 11, 2019 by H2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Other than Mahomes, who was sitting behind a highly effective Alex Smith at the time, its pretty rare a rookie sits the entire season. Especially if the NY media starts laying it on thick if Manning flops early. That being said, idc who the QB is... quads is going to be an effin task all day long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Last year of Eli's contract and probably his last year in the NFL. I can see him not starting all the games especially near the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I don't think it's out of the question. Top ten QB's don't tend to play the backup role for long. He will be starting at some point in the season, probably sooner rather than later. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Seriously people? This is typical player and coach speak. Every backup always says the goal is to be as ready as if they were starting, and every coach says every backup needs to prepare as if they were starting. Talk about making mountains from molehills.
