Quote from: kingm56 on Today at 04:31:39 AMYes he would! He would be the same Patrick during SB against TB, when he was hitting WR/TE 30 yards downfield from a horizontal position, playing behind an atrocious oline. Was there any doubt he was the best player on the field that evening? You simply can't hide that type of talent! The same was true for Joe Burrow, playing behind an Oline that allowed an NFL high 19-sacks during their playoff run. You can throw-in Herberts record-breaking rookie season behind the NFL #32 ranked oline. I could go on-and-on about QBs who still produced playing behind terrible lines in the modern era. To be clear, I freely admit the W/L will be impacted; however, a QB can still produce and showcase unique abilities playing behind below-avg OLs. To date, DJ has done neither...
Quote from: kingm56 on Today at 04:17:36 AMThe implicit notion of this thread suggest a QB is powerless to produce tangible passing metrics without an average, to above average Oline. To test this theory, let's review the olines worse than our Giants:
- 2020 ranked 31st
--LAC #32 Herbert 4336 YDs 31 TDs 10 INTs 67% 98.3 RTG *Won ROY *Mult Rookie passing records
- 2021 ranked 30th
--MIA #32 Tua 3758 YDs 16 TDs 10 INTs 68% 90.1 RTG (Based on 17 game projection; only started 12 games)
- 2023 ranked 30th
--SEA #31 Smith 3624 YDs 20 TDs 9 INTs 65% 92.1 RTG (Only Played 15 games) *Selected to Pro Bowl
--ARZ #32 Murray 3822 YDs 21 TDs 7 INTs 66% 89.4 RTG (Based on 17 game projection; only started 8 games) *came back from more than 10 month injury.
From this data, we can glean that successful QBs can still produce, regardless of inferior lines. So, what does this tell us about DJ? Nothing! We already know DJ does not possess the organic attributes of a superior passer; he never has, and never will. Will his performance improve with a better OLine...absolutely! However, even when provided with average lines, with a superior RB, he still produced a bottom 5 passing offense. He clearly doesn't have the qualities to lead a top-tier passing offence, which is critical to winning SBs in the modern era. We need to move on; I suspect the Giants feel the same.

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 07:56:44 AMThis is what happens when you only look at part of the issue
Here are the full rankings (there is no OC/HC rankings so admittedly we are still looking at just 2 of the three pillars)
2020 Chargers Pass-Blocking- 30th Receiving 12th QBR 13th
2021 Dolphins Pass-Blocking- 32nd Receiving 18th QBR 18th NOTE- lack of protection injured QB
2023 Seahawks Pass-Blocking- 28th Receiving 7th QBR 14th
2023 Cards Pass-Blocking- 17th Receiving 27th QBR 22nd
This is why you should always look at the whole picture rather than select pieces. If you want an accurate picture you need to be systematic and complete in one's examination
Quote from: Bob In PA on Today at 07:56:36 AMThat type of analysis fails to consider that it is a team sport.
The ratings of each player failure to take into account the other players with whom they play. They can't just be added together to get a final total.
A team is like a car motor. Every part must perform (and fit with the other parts) according to specifications or the engine (team) will not run efficiently.

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 19, 2024, 02:27:25 PMThe other thing that struck me is that Jones has never had the opportunity to work with an offensive line that was in the top half (not top third, just half) of the league. Talk about being in an unappealing position.
