So I will be respectful when I ask the following honest question to you Rangers fans. Why is Rempe so overhyped? He has played 21 NHL games and has 3 points. When he is not scoring at a .14 PPG pace he is committing an ungodly amount of penalties and is on suspension watch by the league. But he is all over the ESPN like he is some prodigy Conner Bedard and their hosts and Rangers fans won't shut up about him.
What am I missing here? He seems like a one dimensional big guy who plays an outdated game when stars needed protection. Yes my team is guilty of having players like this. In fact he reminds me a bit of Matt Martin when he broke into the NHL at a similar age with similar stats. But no one overrated him and the Islanders were in a rebuild at the time with a young superstar John Tavares, not a playoff team trying to win the cup. Surely even great teams need roll players but they never get as much hype as he has gotten. The John Scott types only make sports center when they do something wrong.
Quote from: madbadger on April 26, 2024, 10:02:23 PMWhy do posters take a short term view of the draft? This draft isn't about next year, it's about the next 5-7 years. Jones is gone at the end of next year. It would be nice to have a competent offense ready to go for the next guy....
Quote from: madbadger on April 26, 2024, 09:53:19 PMI don't get it. Coming into the draft the defense was clearly better than the offense and we chose to use three of our first four picks to add to the defense. I guess they're just lanning on winning games 14-10. Not knocking adding Burns, Nubin or Phillips. Just doesn't make sense to me.

Quote from: madbadger on April 26, 2024, 08:30:34 PMI guess that means that they aren't as concerned at corner as the fans are. He's a really good safety even if he's a rodent.
Quote from: MightyGiants on April 26, 2024, 10:18:00 AMI have to confess that when I read comments like this, I feel like people have become emotionally invested in DJ's outcome. Are you suggesting that protection and receiving don't matter and that a good QB can magically put up big numbers? That is clearly what the term "excuse making" suggests. An impartial observer would refer to what you call "excuse making" as a reasoned appreciation that a QB's performance isn't in a vacuum. The support a QB receives in terms of coaching, protection, and receiving weapons impacts both their play and their development. It sure seems like your "feelings" are rather perjurative to those who try to have a deeper appreciation of the game.

Did you expect Jones to be somewhere other than at the bottom of the list for deep throws when he had historically bad protection and poor receivers? That is why I answered a question with a question. The subtext of your question is that Jones should be held responsible for the historically bad support he received last season.

No one said Nabers is going to magically transform Daniel Jones into an elite passer, or become an elite QB.
Here is what I have said to others and I'll say the same thing to you.
Daniel Jones has played a total of five seasons in the NFL.
In the two seasons he had a decent offensive line, ranked 18th and 17th, he had his best years.
In 2022 when the O line performed about average, he posted 3,900 total yards which included his rushing stats, and a QBR of 60.2 which ranked 6th, and a 92.3 RTG which ranked 13th.
I hear that you are saying the Giants weren't a good team in 2022, but the fact that he posted those kinds of numbers on a bad team, and helped them make the playoffs, what would happen if he was actually on a good team?
For instance, the Giants have added an elite #1 WR, and if they upgrade the O line from 30th to say around 15th, do you think Daniel Jones' stats will improve? and will the Giants begin to win again?
Quote from: T200 on April 26, 2024, 08:53:48 AMHow do you separate the talent from the player? As talented as Nabers is, he is still one player.
I'm onboard with the pick because I trust Schoen and Daboll still. I'm a little doubtful that this pick will move the offensive needle much.
My concern is that as a rookie, they are chomping at the bit to make an impact. They want to get the ball in their hands to showcase their skills. If Jones is skittish in the pocket and can't/won't deliver the ball to him and the other receivers, frustration and demotivation will set in.
If Jones can't get him the ball, Nabers will be the equivalent of a Ferrari sitting in the garage.
