I don't really have any issues with you, and I'm sure you're probably a decent to nice person in real life, but you've made it pretty clear over the years that you really don't like Daniel Jones, as you are entitled to your opinion.
But,
With that being the case, from time to time there are some posts that people make that make me say "Did he really just say that?", and this just happens to be one of those posts that I've highlighted in bold up above.
Daniel Jones against the Jacksonville Jaguars won "Offensive Player of the Week" in 2022.
Would you like to know why?
He was 19/30, passed for over 200 yards, 1 TD 0 Int, 94.0 RTG 88.2 QBR
He also rushed 11 times for over 107 yards averaging 9.7 yard per carry, including 1 rushing TD.
His go-ahead rushing TD with 5:31 remaining put the Giants ahead for the win, 23-17.
And he was the first player in Giants history to pass for over 200 yards, and rush for over 100 in the same game.
Equaling over 300 yards of total offense.
He outperformed Trevor Lawrence in that game.
So, I'll ask, are you sure you want to hold your position?
Here is the link down below to show you he won offensive player of the week against Jacksonville.
Enjoy
Daniel Jones
I know I haven't been a part of this conversation, but it's unclear to me in reading this whether you understand that QBR (the ESPN stat) is not a pure passing metric, but rather holistic. You've mentioned it with reference to Jones's passing stats, but then said he "also" contributed through rushing. ESPN QBR already incorporates the rushing productivity of the QB. That is how its calculated. Jones's running performance against Jacksonville was the 8th highest running EPA of any QB game that year and his best from that campaign. By contrast, Jones didn't log even one of the top 50 passing performances by EPA in 2022 (his generally accepted best season). He's a running QB who happens to throw the ball from time to time. But we already know that the Giants don't have unlimited faith in this backwards skillset because of the way they structured his contract and attempted to go after his replacement this last draft, offering significant value to move up just three spots.
As to the "Player of the Week" mention, it's a relatively meaningless thing. Jameis Winston won Player of the Week twice in the NFC. No one is clamoring for him to be a franchise quarterback. Rather, it shows that talented (but utlimately flawed QBs) are capable of putting together (relatively) impressive showings. That is not surprising given they are NFL QBs. The real test is not simply flashing every so often, but performing at a high level consistently.
