Wow. That moved fast.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Wow. That moved fast.

Sure did. Guy made some good bank.

Question re: any QB. 1) Is it the QB? 2) Or is it the team around him?

In the case of the Giants, a lot of it is the Team. Is this guy going to do ANYTHING in the NFL?
...Someone will surely seek him out as a backup. I think there will be a Chapter Two to his career.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Wow. That moved fast.

Why keep him around if demoted to 4th string and they have already decided to move on?


Both NY NFL franchises are total rubbish from the top down.

Where will he play next year ?

Can't imagine him starting but some team might be desperate

[INVEGA MAN]

Steelers might pick him up

Dolphins? They need depth behind Tua.

Tommy "Cutlets" DeVito is starting.
Danny asked for his release rather than wait until the end of the season.

This was a bullshit move by benching him rather than risk paying the injury clause in his contract.
As a lifelong Giants fan this leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth.
Classless act from a once very classy organization.

Beyond classless.

I mentioned that, Doug.

[ThaTopMoron]

don't draft QB's from Duke/UNC

sorry Patriots!

[stevenash]

Or any other ACC QB for that matter.

[actiondan]

why was drew lock bypassed? 6 is too many points assuming giants d is still trying

[Eddy Munny]

Danny is a serviceable QB in the league with better parts around him imo... much like Sam Darnold.

[stevenash]

Because Lock's numbers are horrendous.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Maybe Daboll is a bear. And Jones rebuked him.

Giants are blowing it up.
Daboll is gone, Schoen is gone, the locker room can't stand Schoen, and that's not even a secret anymore.
They're going to tank for a top three draft pick, and I'll have to suffer two more years of 3-14 horse shit football.

Where have you gone, Frank Gifford?

[VeggieDog]

Cowboys need a QB.

[Otters27]

Dolphins should get him

You could argue making the playoffs in 2022 was the worst possible thing that could have happened and set the franchise back many many years lol

[DwightShrute]

100 percent spot on.

[unde0087]

[Headsterx]

Is it possible for Giants to bring him back?
🤣🤣🤣

The lack of effort and professionalism was on full display yesterday. Wow.

Where does one assess Jones? Surely he's > Devito.

Jones made a lot of bank. On a betting market, will Jones be the winning QB in an NFL game again?

Over 0.5 wins (-160)
Under 0.5 wins (+140)

When I was training horses, I used to see a trainer with just a few slow horses and see what was going on and could clearly see the difference as to how good that trainer could be with better stock or how bad or weak, unknowledgeable, etc. that trainer actually is. Of course it was my opinion but it was my profession as well, so I knew .
I could also see a trainer with a barn full of nice horses that won races and my opinion of that trainer was very low.

So while I watch a lot of NFL, the people in the business know way more than I do. That said, I think IMO he is an average NFL starting quarterback. I do not care how much he was paid. I say, good for him. So average starter and well above average 2nd stringer, that's my opinion. Bet the 49ers wish they had him about now.

Interesting take, and a very good take.
Thanks for the post.

Thanks Nasher.

I was trying to think of who was similar from a few years back. Like maybe Jared Goff?
You never know do you.

Good analogy. Allen was awful. Also saw that he was playing thru a finger injury.

Niners were incredibly bad. Dead On Arrival.

[SomeDayinBuffalo]

I would take Jones as a back up. I want a chance if Allen goes down. We only have Trubisky an he is not even what he was if you say he ever did.

Daboll / Shoen's hot seats are kind of interesting because they are going down without ever have gotten the chance to draft their own QB ... they were tied to Daniel Jones fate. The huge knock on Schoen is that he let Saquon Barkley walk and kept Jones ... hindsight is 20/20, but his fate sealed.

I think it was rude as hell to demote DJ to 4th string where in practice he had to step in as scout team safety. I have mixed feeling about DJ's ability to start in the NFL, but by ALL ACCOUNTS he is an upstanding dude and earned the respect of teammates. The zeal with which the Giants threw him under the bus was a bit suspect.

And to show how unserious the team is today, they had DeVito as back up. How did they not keep Tyrod Taylor over DeV to back up? The Tommy Cutlets phenomenon was fun, but did not warrant a repeat performance. LinSanity happened once, not twice.

Outstanding post.

[Headsterx]

Hell yeah! This is the stuff I want to read right before a damn good football game will start. Nice read.
