Nobody is beating a 3 man block and that last sack was a coverage sack. Jones cant just stand their with the ball. The old school Joe Gibbs max protect with two deep routes would have worked there, if you get picked so what..Dallas would have took a knee.

Albany,n.y. Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 13 minutes ago, maddenboy said: (here near the 2 minute warning in the first half) Jones just threw a ball, in the middle, that was almost intercepted by 3 people. So where the question used to be "why did they pay Jones?" Because they honestly could not have not known how bad he is, with no future. Now the question seems to be "why did we pay somebody we KNEW was bad?" Because of selling tickets, maybe? I mean, they could have gotten this level of performance from a rookie. Or Marcus mariotta. Or Jacoby Brisset. Or even Baker mayfield. It wasnt supply and demand. And it wasnt that they genuinely thought Jones was far better than those journeymen. So, what was it? There is no future for Jones, imo. He isnt stealing money. The Giants brass are giving away the franchise's money. The Giants management learned nothing about the QB position when they were with the Bills. When the Bills made the playoffs in 2017 Beane & McDermott realized they would be spinning their wheels with Tyrod & traded him with no QB on the roster other than Peterman and then McCarron. They had no idea if they'd get a franchise QB in the draft, but they knew better than go any further with Tyrod. Meanwhile the Giants re-signed Jones this off-season to a contract worthy of a guy who can get you in the playoffs every year ignoring the fluke playoff appearance & playoff victory before playing against Philadelphia like the 2017 Bills played in Jacksonville. I thought the Giants were crazy to give Daniel Jones that much money at the time & Jones has done nothing tonight to prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same about the Jones contract, but as far as tonight - I think the folks who point to this being a kind of preseason game may have something. A number of good QB around the league were “off” this week - Mahomes vs. the Lions, Goff though he won that game, I didn’t see the Bengals Browns game but looking at the box score Burrows was bad….the only QB who really “went off” so far this week afaik was Tua. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the need to sell tickets because fans would give Jones a longer leash than they would Mariota or Brisset or Teddy Bridgewater? Or maybe its the most clever tank-job ever (depending on how easy it is to move on from Jones, based on contract structure) maybe i'm playing 4d chess by myself here. But i just have a hard time believing they really thought Jones was actually worth that money. I mean, the Ravens KNOW that Lamar isnt worth that money. But the Ravens accurately realized that they could not do better on the market. Edited September 11, 2023 by maddenboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
