Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 01, 2024, 01:19:09 PMI think a bigger question is how much the ACL affects his running ability, since that's a big part of his game. A neck injury that only keeps him out 3 weeks doesn't seem that threatening, to me. But what do I know?
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 01, 2024, 11:48:02 AMIF DJ was being completely honest about his second neck injury just being a routine stinger (and implying it had nothing to do with his prior )neck injury
IF the Giants can properly protect DJ, there is a reasonable chance he can avoid another major injury

Looking at the PFF grades, I think there could be some validity to suggestions that he wasn't a good fit for Wink's system
Boogie came into the league at 6' 3" and 275 pounds, which doesn't scream 3-tech (too light)
I also looked at his NFL.com scouting report. One thing that was sort of interesting was this:
"He's a big dude, but he's also carrying some extra weight and will need to lean down a little bit or he's going to end up eating himself inside." -- Personnel director for NFC team

That's quite a damning and harsh attack on my character. I will confess it angered me, and I was ready to post my usual angry reply. Only this old dog is learning new tricks. I took some time to consider what you said and why you said it. So first I went back to read what you wrote:
I have a few thoughts on your comments:
1) I believe that everyone here agrees that Jones' "marginal" or "somewhat" improvement will not prevent him from continuing to be the dead man walking.
2) I asked you for clarification on that comment, but you declined.
Still, it was the part in bold that really struck me. As far as I can tell and remember, no one suggested that Jones would have an "MVP-caliber season", not even close. In fact that seems so far removed from what people were saying, that it reminded me of something I read recently.
I don't dismiss the possibility I could have missed that quote; perhaps @Trench or one of the other people who liked your post could help you find it.

We have had some good conversations in the past, and I don't think you have ever said he was terrible. In fact I think you have stated that you do hope he succeeds and you would root for him if he does and want to be proven wrong.
However, some critics against Daniel Jones have said he was terrible.
Within the last couple of days this comment was stated about DJ "If Jones stinks as he is very likely to do."
And this one from a few weeks ago "Well what do you want me to call them? Never in all my life do I remember a fanbase of any NY sports franchise; Football, baseball; hockey ; and Basketball so devoted to a player who so obviously just stinks! Can you name one? ... I can't.
So, as you can see some of the critics of DJ have expressed that he stinks or is terrible.
Once again not naming you, but there have been more than a few that have expressed this.
