Giants drafted the 1st or 2nd best WR yet he does not appear on any Fantasy rookies to watch probably because Giants can't pass block and have a QB unwilling to throw downfield more aggressively.

Quote from: MightyGiants on May 18, 2024, 08:29:53 AMThat's the thing, Kat, you really can't. When you tally up the posts, there are far more negative posts than positive posts. If you really study the dynamics, much of what could be perceived as positive post about Jones are usually posts responding to criticism. Hell, even my mini-rant was nuanced. I didn't say it was wrong to have a negative view (which stands in stark contrast to the accusations of "making excuses"). I didn't even say that Jones will prove to be a franchise QB (which, again, stands in stark contrast to critics who claim Jones will never be a franchise QB).That's your perspective,MG. Mine is different. The detractors knock DJ to the extreme, the defenders gloss over or make countless excuses. Both are wrong. There is a middle ground. You just don't choose to acknowledge it.
The "both sides do it" argument is just a way to defend that which really can't be defended, in my opinion.
