I swear the media be REACHING! They may be reaching, but they didn’t say he won it. I think the story is more that he’s in the mix to win it with how he’s performed so far (looks good and looks better than Eli - low bar, I know) previously, it appeared Eli was the unquestioned starter Edited June 13, 2019 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefenseWins Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 If the NYG end up starting Jones early-on in the season the entire season could go up in flames prematurely, though that may already be the inevitable result of Gettleman's moves both this year and last year. Passing on Darnold/Allen for Barkley was insane. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gettleman and Shurmer fired at the end of the season. Then the new GM can draft another QB for the Giants next year... For once it looks like the Bills are gonna luck out in this madness known as the NFL Draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes back to the Shurmur comment which i think was odd - that Jones is “on track to be able to play week 1” - what does that even mean in June? Isn’t everyone on track for that unless they have a serious injury? Edited June 13, 2019 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Matter_What Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Anybody seen Giants game? From statline it seems that he had another solid game. I know it will probably doesn't mean that he will start against us already but who knows. I am rooting for the kid since he got so much hate during draft.

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. He gets extra credit for the opponent in those glorious SBs. I will forever be thankful. He stays as looooooong as he'd like.

Victory Formation Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I actually think Daniel Jones will be a decent starting caliber QB. With that said, I don’t think there is any chance on God’s green earth that he can overcome that poor Giants roster and pull an upset over the Bills. Daniel Jones though has impressed me this preseason, I think I was wrong when I said he’d suck. He’ll be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who watched zero Duke football, I didn’t credibly pretend to know how good he would be but I thought taking him at 6 was a stretch based on everything I had seen/heard/read. I wouldn’t have really blinked at a 2nd rd draft slot. But he’s looked pretty good for a rookie this preseason. Even though it’s just preseason, other rookies have not looked as good.

I agree, the Giants are going to start the season with Eli. I think the only way the Bills face Jones in W2 is if Eli gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do light scouting every draft, just enough to have a solid opinion. I don’t go deep into it like some do but just enough to get a feel for the players. Daniel Jones is better than I expected, I think most people can agree on that now, right? He’s better than he was advertised, not such a crazy pick now. I think I got it wrong with him.

Sure, it is and sure, Allen looking good has also only come in preseason, albeit against more first-teamers (excluding Kuechly last week) than Jones. But the Allen & Jones detractors surely wouldn't be placing any caveats about "preseason" on their performance if they were looking badly; if both were looking as poorly as expected than they'd be going in for the kill, insisting it only proves/validates their preconceptions about them. It just shouldn't be had both ways. Edited August 23, 2019 by Midwest1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Its not that Jones was a bad prospect when Giants took him at 6...is that they could have gotten him with their next pick and also took Oliver or Allen at 6 still. So Giants are always going to wonder if they could have had BOTH Jones and one of those stud defensive picks too. But at the end of the day, the QB position is the most important, so if Jones pans out, no one will dwell on that down the road. But if either Oliver or Allen proves to be pro bowl stud and Jones peaks out at just being a decent but not great QB (or worse) then the pick will probably haunt them a while.

zow2 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I'd be fine with rookie Daniel Jones starting. No way will he be totally prepared for a real defensive scheme coming at him this early in his career. But he does look promising for the future. Such a weird quirk of schedule to be the home opener for two clubs in consecutive weeks in the same stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
