Irrelevant man trying to stay relevant. The players quit on him so they never saw it with him either.

He knew his QBs. If they listened to him, Mahomes would be a Giant.

I guess he didn't see it in Eli either and benched him for Geno Smith.

Ben McAdoo a 'big reason why' Panthers drafted QB Matt Corral

Ben's track record with QBs was mixed

Yep right on Mahomes and right on Jones but wrong on Corral.

I am confused, you claimed you believe Jones is an average NFL staring QB.   You don't draft those in round 7.

Also, we already had two threads bashing Jones; was there a need for a third?

That's unfair.  Benching a player for poor current performance is different.

Ben McAdoo grades out as an XFL-level position coach for me each and every year.

How many threads have you put up over the years making excuses for Daniel Jones? What was his PFF passing grade?

I also believed Jones to be an average or even slightly above average NFL starting QB. At the moment though, McAdoo's view appears more accurate than mine. I have no problem admitting that. I'm not a professional scout.

For the Giants' and all their fans' sake, I hope McAdoo ends up being wrong and Jones improves to at least a middle of the road performance level, but we're in year five now and he is definitely not middle of the road right now. His performance so far this year has been well worse than that, and it is pretty darn concerning given the investment the franchise made in him.

Yep, he may end up proving those of us who believe Jones is just average wrong.  Jones may end up worse than that.

Agreed. I'm not going to deviate from my view that he's middle of the road based on just these last four games, 1/2 of one of which he was very good in, but at the current price tag the expectations go up substantially, and I'm very concerned about what I have been seeing so far this year. I hope it all gets figured out and he can at least get back to being average.

This post got me doing a little digging.  Here is What I found.

This story is based only on a Tweet from some guy "Giants Realist" on Twitter who only has 832 followers.

I could find no indication that Ben McAdoo was even on ESPN radio between when the Giants played and now

For personal reasons, he'd have a job in the NFL if not for those personal reasons.

Yes, Jones is often under pressure but the examples like the play above happen often as well.  Jones vacates the pocket for no reason and because he's on the run is missing open receivers all over the field.

Those who gave Jones a pass for the fumble should watch this video.

I don't fault Jones for the initial pressure - it was bad play design. The fumble he probably should have thrown away before the sack.

But again it's two prong problem - jones gets hit immediately and then he makes a mistake after he actually did a good job avoiding the first sack.

He hasn't improved. Simple as that
