Quote from: Gmo11 on April 16, 2024, 09:34:42 AMGenerally I would agree with this but when you look at this draft vs next year's draft the 4th best QB in this draft might be better than the best QB next year. So if they don't take one now, and don't end up with the #1 or #2 pick next year (which means a historically awful season) then they may not be in position to take a new QB for a long time.
Jones, while awful, is juuuuuuust good enough to keep you out of the top 1 or 2 picks in the draft. He's the worst kind of terrible you can be. If you're gonna be bad be exceptionally bad so your team can replace you. He is tantalizingly awful because he can flash some good moments surrounded by terrible ones and enough of those good moments gets you to 6-8 wins and out of the QB lottery. It's QB hell and the Giants are right smack in the thick of it.
Once that is recognized cutting bait is required. Instead of a new contract Mara should have given Jones a severance package. I maintain the contract was Mara's doing, and the two year out was the compromise. If one can read a horse racing program then one can see Jones getting injured again.
