Schoen was clear that they're still figuring Jones out and that the next 9 games matters. So whether people here want to give it more time or not, he'll get the time. I think he needs to stay healthy and to take more shots downfield to have a good chance of staying on. Hopefully we see that. I don't think they're going to spend over $30mm on a dink-and-dunk game manager, even one who may be a top five running QB. He's going to need to show he can do more than that as a passer to command that type of number.

I will also add that two very smart former Giants (Simms and Banks) have both made it clear that they talk to the coaches about a passing play because, despite their knowledge and film study, they can't be sure of who is or isn't open without the construct of a play. 

So why make claims about "open" receivers?  I mean, even the video you posted a second time (I had posted it the first time) on the Nick Falato thread, Nick carefully qualified his claims.


"Seeing an open receiver is not really a thing"

I just spit my coffee out!...go ask Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers how many times they saw and hit an open receiver who wasn't the intended target. It happened ALL the time with Gronk
