Big Blue Huddle / Re: Will DJ Be Better With Nabers?

Quote from: Ed Vette on April 25, 2024, 10:11:33 PMYou have to pull DJ out from under the Bus Nabers threw him under first.

What's this about?

Quote from: Trench on April 25, 2024, 10:02:52 PMDid Thomas play with either Devito, Jones or Tyrod at all this year?....im not sure...all I'm saying is Devito and Tyrod 100% moved the ball WAY WAY better than Jones "when it mattered". That's my point

No matter how awful DeVito's passing was, he had the best pocket awareness of all the quarterbacks on the roster. That ability was kind of special in fact. Obviously that alone isn't enough, but I wish Jones had half of that ability to sense pressure and perceive the rush from the back.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on April 25, 2024, 10:01:04 PMWe've said that about the OL for more than 10 years and it hasn't happened.

So we can say hope springs eternal.

Or we can say expecting it to get better, in each case, is the triumph of hope over experience.

What I meant was eventually the issue is going to demand attention and action. Not that it will just fix itself if we wait long enough.

"Well this is the first time that Daniel Jones has really had time to go through his progressions. So he needs to start developing those skills. To look off the safety and make those reads. It's going to take time."

Quote from: LennG on April 25, 2024, 09:29:25 PMHe can be as fired up as he wants it still takes talent to succeed.
What will the excuses be now?

Probably still offensive line. Or lack of running game production.

Bears are killing it.

Quote from: madbadger on April 25, 2024, 08:59:50 PMIf you're going to take a quarterback early you risk ruining him if you don't have supporting talent around him. They need to come out of this draft with a quality guard and running back and then go all in on a quarterback next year.

So you're planning on a high draft pick in 2025?

Quote from: H-Town G-Fan on April 25, 2024, 08:56:00 PMJJ McCarthy doesn't fix that for at least a year, if at all.

It's going to have to get fixed eventually.

Whatever.

Looks like this draft is playing out exactly as predicted.

Cheers!


Really? So you don't think he's got the juice?

Quote from: AZGiantFan on April 25, 2024, 02:55:27 PMWhich makes it puzzling how many seem to be assuming that because the Giants made some moves the Oline will be better.  The Oline is the football that Lucy keeps pulling away from Charlie Brown.

That's been the Giants' MO as long as I've been a fan-throw one or two guys at a problem during the off-season and pop the champagne and celebrate the resolution of a problem that's existed for 5-10 years.

Quote from: EDjohnst1981 on April 25, 2024, 02:20:42 PMI'm excited to see what the actual decision makers do.

The Daniel Jones era is either over or he has run out of excuses as the draft a weapon. (Although, we thought he was out of excuses last season).

Looking forward to seeing the direction they go in.

IMO Jones' health concerns have superceded any doubts that may linger about his ceiling of play.

Quote from: spiderblue43 on April 25, 2024, 10:52:18 AMBy the way. What happened to Bellinger after such a promising rookie season? He looked lead footed and sluggish. Remember..he Hulked himself out for camp last year and went pfft almost right away.

Hasn't been the same since the eye injury. Probably has problems with depth perception.
