Get well soon, DJ. And TT. And Adoree. And anyone else on the team who is injured.

I've not read a single post or tweet where the author is happy he's injured.

The over eulogising isn't for me.

Actually, I've thought about this post over the last few hours and I'm gonna walk it back.

Jones has given his all for this team and ultimately, that's all you can ever ask for.

Apologies if I appeared cold and callous. I didn't intend to, despite how the post reads.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on November 06, 2023, 01:05:36 PMI can absolutely get on board with lionizing Jones as a great person, but I'm not sure I would call him a "great Giant." That type of phrase should be reserved for players who not only had great personal qualities but were also successful on the field.

DB: I probably disagree. In my years following the team I observed the term "a true Giant" has been used mostly (especially by the older crowd) to refer primarily to character, including devotion/loyalty to the organization and doing what is asked of them, even if they don't fully agree or would choose a different path.

If Jeff Hostetler could do it, Daniel Jones can do it !!!

EDj: IMO that post makes you what I call a "true Giants fan" (comparable to calling a player a "true Giant"). Bob

Thanks, Bob. Excuse the typos. I was typing whilst doing bonfire night with the kids. I've edited it.

Not sure I buy into the true Giant thing. I mean are there true Cowboys? True Eagles? True Panthers? LT was a true Giant I guess. No? Tiki Barber, a true Giant? Brandon Jacobs? Lots of "true Giants." Especially if they were part of Super Bowl teams.

kat: Good point. That is probably why it's mostly old-timers who use those expressions.

Old enough to remember the days when baseball and football players primarily stayed with one team (until they had truly outlived the degree of usefulness they started with). Bob

DJ is a good guy who was with a poor team. I would of liked to see how DJ would have performed with a strong OL.

I wish him a speedy recovery and hope he can get over his PTSD from playing behind our paper mache O line.
