Do you think DeVito would make it onto or last on the PS?

MG,

Further to this, maybe the pickup of Rourke was intended to be a potential insurance play in the event DeVito fails to clear waivers and make it back to the Giants' PS.

I suspect they also wanted an extra body in the QB room this spring just given the fact that Jones' health is still uncertain (albeit he seems to be well on track to be good to go).

I think DeVito should be the starter, not Jones or Lock

Those two have issues and should fight it out for the back up positions
Both guys have talent but have spotty to suspect NFL records

DeVito has poise and the it factor. The Dallas loss was a joke, and he was replaced after what I assume was an undisclosed
head injury from targeting by the worlds champs of targeting- New Orleans.  I wonder if they still pay bounties

Of course it matters not what anyone of us think.  Mara, Schoen, and Daboll will decide who plays

Jones may suprise us but after 5 years of futility its not looking good

The definition of insanity is to keep repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

Jones would be a terrific change of pace against teams vulnerable to the QB run.

Jones has all the tangibles but seems shell shocked from all the pressure and sacks he's taken over the years

Reports are that Lock also has pocket poise issues

Only Tommy D seems to be able to remain calm in there whatever is thrown at him

If DeVito is exposed to waivers I suspect he will be taken in a NY minute, and I believe
NE will grab him.

Flott is not going to wow in practice but he's a gamer. I don't remember if I've seen him make egregious errors or be called out by the announce team. He's kinda like J Love in that he doesn't do anything special but just a good ball player.

The two biggest stats for me this season for the QB position will be EPA and BTTR. If those two go up we will likely win some games.

The more interesting question for me is whether he can be better in 2024 than he was in 2022. Being materially better than 2023 practically goes without saying. There is no way Jones is nearly as bad as he was in 2023.

Adding an elite WR in Malik (won't you be my NABOR), may just do that.

I'm hoping Malik has the same impact on DJ's stats as OBJ had on Eli Manning's numbers from 2014-2016.

However, only time will tell.

If people spent more time in gratitude, they wouldn't be so miserable and attracting negativity and the things they hate so much. 

Quote from: Trench on Today at 12:38:39 PMOne of those losses should be discounted because if my memory serves, he basically wasn't allowed to throw the ball that 1st game

Fair enough.

We also saw the Giants win one of those games when the Pats kicker very suspiciously pushed a sub 30 yard chip shot (in the final minute or two with the game on the line) wide right.

Either way, the original point about DeVito deserving to be taken seriously stands.

For the life of me I can't understand why Jones doesn't at least "practice" looking off the secondary during drills. He is literally locked onto his WR almost every time from what I can surmise. Very frustrating to see.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 12:03:35 PMThe Giants were 3-3 last year when DeVito started and 3-7 when he didn't. He also had the best QB rating of any Giant QB last year at 89.2. I personally don't think he will make the opening day 53, but he deserves the opportunity to at least compete in camp and the preseason.

Don't forget the Giants also signed Nathan Rourke, so we need to see how he figures into all this.

They have four QBs. Assuming Jones is healthy enough, he will be the starter, and then of the remaining three one will be the backup, one will likely be on the PS, and one will likely be sent packing. We'll see what happens.

One of those losses should be discounted because if my memory serves, he basically wasn't allowed to throw the ball that 1st game
