More importantly he is now on his second neck injury(2 strikes). He takes hard hits both in and out of the pocket. So far he has been very fortunate that the neck injuries have not been career threatening, or worse have long term health effects. I don't need to be a Neurologist to know that his neck area is compromised. I am not wishing it on him, but the next time(3rd strike) he may not be as fortunate. If he gets hurt again in that area that may force a retirement. Mara stated to paraphrase that the Giants have done everything they can to mess him up. Without any proof I believe his contract was a compromise between Daboll-Schoen and Mara. Thus the two year out. Usually new regimes get to pick their own "General". Daboll's toss the surface episode told me that after all the tutelage c'mon Daniel how do you not see the open receiver. Putting aside the supporting cast issue, and I feel you can, Jones has shown he has some of the qualities needed to be a winning QB, but not enough of them.All good points. Jones has a neck like a giraffe. I'm sure he does a lot of neck exercises like we did back in our wrestling days but there's only so much you can do.
Quote from: LennG on October 12, 2023, 11:10:55 AMRespectfully, I disagree. Are you telling me that last year, when the team was rolling, the posts here were down? I think, if we are or were a good team, more people would come to post. When we are bad, yes, there may be more posts, but it usually comes from the core that we have, be it pro or con.You can disagree. I've been watching it but I could be wrong.
When we are winning, there is so much more to talk about and the board is more active. Tell that to Mara and company if he values fan's opinions.

Quote from: T200 on October 12, 2023, 08:12:46 AMBad news and negativity bring the eyeballs.Yup there's more to say about diagnosing how to fix it than how it went well. It shows how smart we are. We're experts! Lol
Finding something positive in this team is more challenging than fielding a decent offensive line.
Quote from: Rambo89 on October 12, 2023, 08:35:27 AMLarry I would agree with you if Jones wasn't in Year 5 almost 60 starts into his NFL career. I don't get the perspective of how you can't evaluate him. I get the perspective believing that with what a person has seen of him that if he has a supporting cast that can prop him up that he can be a productive NFL QB. But that's just me.We put you down for a no, 5487 posts ago.
