Big Blue Huddle

It's 79%

It's still kinda wild in 2024 that the police arrest first and think later.

Quote from: bamagiantfan on May 30, 2024, 10:40:14 AMThe stats do lie though. Phil Simms would often say the stats in the NFL lie and the QBs get too much credit and too much blame for winning and losing. Manning could look lost, confused - even pathetic at times and then suddenly he would figure some things out and make every play necessary to beat teams. We all saw it. All of it. Jones hasn't taken that step yet in my opinion. Unlike others, I think he can and will.

I think it all boils down to his explosives/big time throws. If he can elevate his game to even 15th in Explosives and BTTR this season we could really do some things.

Jones isn't a bad qb, and he's not a great one either but he could be good enough which is all we really need currently.

MetLife is safe until you step on the field.   

Although, I am wondering about something.  Where is all the talk about Florida relying too much on the PP?  Oh, that is only a complaint when it is the Rangers?

Quote from: Philosophers on May 30, 2024, 10:32:56 AMHow do they do a medical assessment without medical reports or being able to examine him after practices to see if there is swelling or asking DJ questions?

They usually watch videos of the injury (if available), and they watch videos of players working out post-injury as well.  They combine that with decades of medical experience in the NFL, and they project based on what they know.  So, they likely watched the videos of DJ working out with the team (with a focus on the movements he was performing and considered that he isn't wearing a brace.  Based on this information and their medical experience, they are expressing optimism with the timeline cited.

Said it before charges woukd be dripped.  Nice guy who may have made a small mistake that did not rise to level of crime and a city realizing the public relations nightmare that would follow if they went forward on subpar evidence.  Would have looked vindictive and not smart.

Manning also had 14 more total turnovers than Jones his first 4 years, in fewer games.

This has been a very bad team during the time Daniel Jones has been under center, except in 2022 when the Defense was fantastic as the Giants won six of their first seven to later make the playoffs. Daniel Jones was the reason they won the playoff game on the road in Minnesota, playing a near perfect game and leading the team in rushing and passing.  Unfortunately many fans had already decided in the back half of the season that he wasn't the guy. Daboll seems to think otherwise.
