Your bar for Tommy DeVito today

[DaveBrown74]

Please describe what you would need to see from DeVito today in his first NFL start for you to come out of the game believing he has a legit shot of being on the opening day 53 man roster next season?

If you think there is zero chance of that under any circumstances, please just indicate that instead.

Thanks.

You really want to make that determination after one start against a team than beat the Giants at home 40-0?

How about some points and less than 7 sacks?

It would not be a firm conclusion or determination by any means. It would be more of a first real impression of the kid in a meaningful start and a prediction of how you might be feeling about his future this evening based on a certain performance level.

I would like to see zero turnovers and solid decision making. That would signal some growth to me.

We couldn't get that from the 40million dollar QB.

I'd be utterly surprised if the UDFA QB, making his first start, will provide that.

Looking better than Glennon and Fromm. If he outplays DJ's game, that's a good benchmark.

I think it is also important not to give him too much credit if he racks up some cheap stats in the late 3rd and 4th quarter if/when they're down by three or four scores. That happened in the Vegas game, and those stats really don't mean that much. What matters is how he looks when the game is still at least somewhat in question. If he's awful during that period but then puts together some cheap late yards and a cheap TD when the Giants have zero shot, it's important to parse that data appropriately. That's almost as irrelevant as preseason play IMO.

Well, now you're setting the bar and inserting parameters. Did DJ put up garbage time points? 

[andrew_nyGiants]

Oh one more thing; I want to see a meatball sub (courtesy of his mom) in his hands during the post game presser.

Yes, sometimes he did. So do most QBs on bad teams.

In the Dallas loss?

[spiderblue43]

Other than not having last rites issued for Tommy..just avoid dumb plays..take what's there..

[DaveBrown74]

In the Dallas loss?

No, not in that game.

IF......IF.....IF.....

our Pillsbury doughboy coach and semi clueless OC have or can produce plays that would help mirror his skill set along with showing a little ingenuity I think Touchdown Tommy can give us a respectable showing.....20 points minimum.

Hey, this aint the '85 Bears defense.  And we do have some skill players, some in their infancy.

Let's see what this 10 captain, change the culture leadership is really all about. 

This game isn't about Touchdown Tommy, he has performed on big stages before.  For me this game is all about Daboli, Kafka, and if this team really has pride....has changed the culture.

It is time to step up for these players and coaches....or get out and be gone.  And that is immaterial to who is at QB.

[spiderblue43]

Giants Obsession,

After the Raiders game (which they quit  off the bus)..if there is any pride and  a culture change..will know pretty quickly against the dreaded Pokes. :
