Quote from: MightyGiants on April 30, 2024, 09:37:43 AMIn the 2022 offseason, most considered Daniel Jones a dead man walking.   

Consider:

1) The Giants passed on exercising DJ's 5th-year option

2) The Giants signed Tyrod Taylor who many fans claimed was as good or better than Jones (he did have a Pro Bowl to his resume)

3) Jones had injury issues and needed to prove he could stay healthy

4) Worst of all, Jones was going to have to prove himself behind a mediocre, at best, O-line with no significant receiving targets.  He would get a bit of a tangential boost from Barkley (who already lost something after his major knee injury)

Everyone was writing Daniel Jones off, there was much talk about the QBs in the draft. Only Daniel Jones decided he wasn't ready to be dead and buried.  He dragged his under-talented team to the playoffs and beat the 13-4 Vikings in the hostile Minnesota stadium.  He earned himself a solid contract.

From Daniel's perspective, this is just deja vue all over again.   I am not suggesting that Jones will stay healthy and knock it out of the park.  I am just suggesting we shouldn't be shocked if Jones plays like a franchise QB and takes the team to the playoffs again while at least staying healthy enough.

Jones is a good player. just not good enough at the QB position. he has a lot to prove to everybody this season.

Quote from: MightyGiants on January 26, 2024, 12:51:49 PMWith the Giants in the QB market, I have been reading scouting reports on QBs.  The reality is there is no perfect quarterback prospect; it often comes down to what one values in a quarterback.   With that being the case, what do you consider the most important traits in a quarterback prospect?



Being a successful NFL quarterback requires a unique combination of physical, mental, and emotional attributes. Here are some of the key traits:

Arm Strength/Arm talent: The ability to make all the throws on the field is crucial. This includes deep passes, tight-window throws, and passes with velocity.

Accuracy: Precision in throwing is critical. This means putting the ball where only the receiver can get it, and consistently hitting targets in stride.

Decision Making/Processing speed: A quarterback must quickly assess the defense, understand his offensive scheme, and make the right decisions in a matter of seconds.

Reading Defenses: Understanding defensive alignments and strategies is key to anticipating what the defense will do after the snap.

Mobility and Pocket Presence: The ability to move well in the pocket to avoid pressure, extend plays, and sometimes gain yards with their legs is increasingly important.

Leadership: Quarterbacks are often the leaders of their teams. They need to command respect, motivate teammates, and maintain composure in high-pressure situations.

Work Ethic and Preparation: Studying game film, learning the playbook, and preparing for various game situations are vital parts of being an NFL quarterback.

Resilience and Mental Toughness: The ability to bounce back from mistakes, endure physical hits, and handle the pressure of high-stakes situations is essential.

Situational Awareness: Understanding the context of the game, like down, distance, score, and time remaining, to make smart plays.

Communication Skills: Effectively communicating with coaches, teammates, and executing the play call in a loud, high-pressure environment.

recognize defenses .. quick processing passing lanes

Barkley was risk paying (although worthy and a fan favorite), at that point in time it didn't make good business sense. paying Jones was just a dumbass move.

he is .. better coaching will be the difference

The Giants would do well to make Bryce Huff an offer.

he's fragile .. move on

Seems like the big knock on him is that he has been inconsistent and has tended to disappear in games against anyone good.

he's a lb playing end .. giants should go back to 4-3

Quote from: londonblue on January 08, 2024, 03:40:32 PMDaboll's seat just got a LOT hotter for next season. For right or wrong a substantial portion of the fanbase thinks Wink is the better coach of the two so he has to get this hire right.

agreed

Quote from: LennG on December 26, 2023, 05:24:48 PMTo have zero heroes in a game where we almost beat the Eagles in their own home. Maybe no one stood out, but as a team, they played hard and fought right to the end. Screw PFF.

Oh, and Mr Thibs didn't even register a tackle in a game where he needed to show up. Well deserved goat.

Tibs gets "handled" at times.
