Daniel Jones will bring you guys closer together than you ever imagined. The whole Dak vs. Wentz rivalry will be long forgotten as Daniel Jones pillages the division. Prepare to be @‘ed like crazy this season as the Giants stumble to another top 5 pick just to waste it.....again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hey Gmen, serious question. You on board with and a true believer in Jones as the FQBOTF or just that fed up with Elisha and ready to move on? I can't tell? Sounds like sarcasm but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You on board with and a true believer in Jones as the FQBOTF or just that fed up with Elisha and ready to move on? I can't tell? Sounds like sarcasm but who knows. As a fan, I am an optimist. There are very few first round Giants selections that I’ve had difficulty getting on board with (Aaron Ross, Justin Pugh). I have not had much difficulty getting on board with Daniel Jones. There is a lot to like about him. Big, athletic, smart, tough, good mechanics, high character. There are questions about his production, but he played on a terrible team that had a total of 1 other player drafted during his 3 years at Duke. If you put that aside and look at him as a prospect, you can see why he was drafted 6th overall. He has all the tools to succeed in the NFL. So far, the reports out of OTAs (I know it’s just OTAs) have been very positive, which is encouraging. Golden Tate praised his arm strength. Shula praised his athleticism. Shurmur says he processes information quickly and doesn’t make the same mistake twice. Outsiders looking in have noticed as well (Pete Prisco had a very positive article about him). The Giants are already dancing around a quarterback controversy after just one month. I think Shurmur can immediately utilize him in a similar way he used Keenum in Minnesota. Obviously Jones’ ceiling is much higher. I think Daniel Jones starts 10 games his rookie season, has his fair share of struggles, but makes enough plays to show he belongs. I certainly think he’ll do better than last year’s rookie quarterback class (minus mayfield). Saquon will make his life easier, but the Giants still need to get him a true #1 receiver. I truly do believe the future is bright for the Giants with this backfield. Edited June 19, 2019 by Gmen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Gmen is just hoping for the best, I can't blame him. Maybe David Gettleman is smarter than everyone else here and in the NFL, but it's unlikely. Biggest problem for the Giants is they have 2 slot receivers and no outside threats. And then of course is the line going to finally come together?

He’s a successful NFL GM that’s been a part of half a dozen Super Bowl teams. Smarter than the NFL? No need. The perception of Jones in NFL circles was reportedly much higher than most people realized. Hence the surprise when he was drafted at #6. But, he had plenty of interest, including from Belicheck. https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/patriots/nfl-rumors-patriots-showing-growing-interest-duke-qb-daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just throw some ish at the wall, with some semblance of an idea of how football works , and hope it sticks. I mean, I’m sure there are studies that draft nerds do that prove that they’re just as “acceptable” as some GMs are. I think with the crap shoot the draft can be, the more important skill to have is cap handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
