John Mara said it best - hopefully Eli has a great year and Jones doesn’t see the field. Realistically, Jones will start first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll be able to concern defenses more than Eli at this stage, and hopefully open the box up a bit of for Saquon. I'm not a NYG fan obviously, but I'm expecting and wanting HUGE things from Saquon. So, sorry - I hope you guys suck bad enough for us to get a proper look at DJ early Edited August 31, 2019 by Hunter2_1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli got his first start week 10 in 2004. I'm hitting the under hard on that for Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know though, with this competition it could raise Eli's game well enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll likely be 1-4, with our only win coming against the Giants. Then we can put Haskins in against the Dolphins week 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I watched some of the Redskins game on NFL Network today when I got home from the gym. Haskins looked pretty good from what I saw. I saw the part of the game where his receivers dropped like three passes in a row. On the sideline he was talking to one of them (he dropped two passes in a row) and played catch with him while the Redskins defense was on the field. Nice show of leadership and maturity from a rookie QB. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That second drop on that drive was brutal. Really well thrown ball right on the receivers hands and he dropped it. It would have been easy for Haskins to be upset about that and thrown off because these games are really important to him as well, but instead he made sure the guys head was held high and he encouraged him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I like both Jones and Haskins. Hopefully this is a situation like Dak and Wentz and both these guys end up being franchise caliber QB's. I think Haskins sees the field first mainly because this is probably Eli Manning's last year and I think they would prefer him go out as the starter. I don't really see Eli getting benched this year unless he is just absolutely horrendous, which is certainly possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, as of the 3rd game he had the highest yards per attempt average from any rookie QB since at least 2006. If Haskins and Jones were switched, the response would be completely different. But because people DESTROYED the Jones pick before even one NFL prospect people are finding ways to discredit him left and right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippyX Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 A QB who had a 102 rating and outplayed Jones on his own team ( 3 less of those pesky fumbles) in preseason was cut. Please explain how his preseason stats were meaningless but Jones’s stats mean he is a better player than Josh Allen AND worthy of a top 10 pick in the draft. People rightfully formed the opinion that the #4 and #6 picks were by reaches but legit later first round picks. ( some might have seen Jones as a 2nd rounder) Your snarky fake vengance attitude changes nothing. An opinion on a draft pick is a basic of NFL football. Next you will tell us to stop watching the draft because our dirty opinions of it are offensive to you. I keep using the Fletcher Cox and Nick Foles 2012 analogy. Foles is a legend but Cox was the correct top pick for the Eagles. If they reached for Foles in round 1 then Cox goes somewhere else and they don’t win in 2017. Jones at 6 is an awful pick until he is playing in the NFCCG. If he never does than Gettleman screwed up badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
