1-0 in the playoffs, I will give him credit. That record is more important than anything before it

Lol the NY media getting upset because Daboll said Jones played good. The reporter was like just good? Daboll was like isn't good, good? And the reporter was kinda dumbfounded.

He should have said, "I apologize. I should have said, 'He played *well*' instead of 'played good' for all the grammar police out there."     

I am officially off the fence with Daniel Jones.   Much like I saw with Phil Simms (I think it started with Simms in the 49ers comeback) in the Giants' first Super Bowl year, I have seen Daniel Jones take that next step over the past month and become a franchise QB.

Very good analogy

I just thought it was funny because Daboll didn't understand what he did wrong and the reporter was waiting for some awe inspiring comments and Daboll was like oh he played good lol.

Yeh, I am with you.

Jones was outstanding yesterday in a winning effort in a road playoff game, and I also feel he played very well down the back stretch of the season when he was really needed the most. I thought he was good in the win in Washington, the close loss in Minnesota, and certainly the big playoff clinching win against the Colts. And then he capped it off with what I am comfortable calling an elite performance yesterday.

While one could say that his receivers were very open yesterday and that he had a clean pocket most of the night, I thought when he did face pressure he handled it well, and his running was also outstanding. And he also really didn't make a single poor throw all night that I can remember. He may have had some throwaways, but some of those I thought were very smart where in past years they might have been forced balls that were picks.

Jones stayed healthy all year and raised his game in Dec/Jan, and he played a big role in his team getting to the playoffs and delivering a road playoff win against a 13-4 team. He also showed great improvement this year on the leadership and confidence fronts.

I want to bring him back. However I don't think the current euphoria should cloud judgment about price. Don't just throw some crazy contract at him. The thing is though, if we were to put our foot down and not meet his price, other teams will 100% be interested. So there is that to think about. And while the tag is an option, all that really is is a can kick where the Giants only really benefit if he stinks next year or gets badly hurt. They'll just end up being on the hook for more money if he does it again next year.

If anything I would tag Barkley and possibly consider letting him test the market after next season, as RBs begin to age out at 27.

As I said last night best game of his career last night.  He was absolutely outstanding.

I think after the Colts game, where DJ was outstanding, most of us were asking "can DJ play better than this?"

Well, the answer's been served to us on a silver platter; YES.
