And the article even acknowledges this!      

Quote from: Trench on January 11, 2023, 11:41:55 PMGood point.

To that - is anyone worried the Scottish Hammer will do something to hurt our chances on Sunday?

Then let's discuss and change the narrative lol

Yes he concerns me BUT there isn't much we can do about it!!  He is Dr Jeckyle and Mr Hyde for sure as a player!

Quote from: Blue Fire on January 11, 2023, 10:54:38 PMTrue we could be discussing how Allen Lazard should be our main aquistion at WR this offseason.

You used the word main not me!  I found an article and shared it. 

Have I Harped on it in 20 threads and argued that we have to sign him with 1/2 the board? 

No I haven't. 

Quote from: Trench on January 11, 2023, 08:53:18 PMBF - I think you missed your calling as a GM or capologist. You will pound your fist against the table until the cows come home I'll give u that.

I'm happy with where we are with our WR (in terms of NOT breaking the bank) for a #1. I think Our GM agrees

Just move on.  It will just be 30 more posts in 20 more threads of the same thing.

We have other things we can discuss!

Giants Have 'Protected' a 'Slightly Above-Average' Starter

 

Quote from: T200 on January 05, 2023, 08:08:28 AMI haven't heard him or Schoen say it recently: "He's doing/done everything we've asked him to do."

To me, that's the kiss of death!      As long as I don't hear that about Jones, I'm confident he'll be back!

LOL agreed when I hear that phrase it makes me cringe!!!!

All we hear from Dabs is love and admiration.  Not directly at/to the media, but on the sidelines, on video, caught in the heat of the moment when the two talk. 

I posted this article as it's own thread but there is some DJ specific points in here.

......... Daboll on Monday told a great story about building both his relationship with quarterback Daniel Jones — and the Giants' offense — that illustrates the point.

"I spent a lot of time with Daniel to try to get to know him and him to know me," Daboll said. "He'd come over to the house, and I just remember at the end of training camp, we're sitting there. And I'm outside by the pool smoking a cigar, and the whole table has about three years' worth of different playbooks as we're going through training camp. I'm saying, 'Tell me if you like any of these.' You're making sure that 'You know what, this guy cares about what I think. He cares how I see the game.' I think that's important for a quarterback."

I know it's been mentioned, I've said it, but this story emphasizes it.  This playbook was created specifically for DJ.

Nothing has been as important as the work the Giants have done with Jones.
Jones' first three seasons with the Giants were a disaster. There were glimpses of raw ability, but Jones never came close to justifying the No. 6 overall pick Dave Gettleman used on him in 2019.

After what I have seen and read the last few weeks I think the ONLY THING that stops the Giants from signing DJ to a contract is if they can't agree on time and money!  Otherwise he will be back in blue next year.

Dabs seems sold on him to be his guy!  Or this is the biggest fake out ever!

Quote from: GMenRF on January 03, 2023, 07:34:36 PMAbout 4 years after the 2019 draft, we all can argue that the Giants walked away with the best QB in that draft class.

Not for nothing, but I can see Gettleman with a smile on his face saying to the naysayers, I told you so.

He can't say it till Jones holds the trophy high

Quote from: y_so_blu on January 02, 2023, 03:23:06 PMI must admit that two of the players I doubted most, have done the most to prove me wrong this season.

The first is, you guessed it, Daniel Jones. I initially had high hopes for him, perhaps unreasonably high. How much of it was him and how much of it was poor coaching will be debated endlessly, but the bottom line is he was not putting the team on his back like we needed him to.

This year is different. Daniel is growing into the role. He's felt pressure coming, cut down on the turnovers, and helped us win when opponents shut down the run. Those are the biggest issues I had with him, and he's addressed all three.

The second player is Kayvon Thibodeaux. I thought he had bust written all over him, and said so. He's made me eat those words. The stats don't tell the story because he gets held constantly, but the guy is beasting. Seeing him live is downright scary; he seems to tower over everyone else on the field.

I would much rather see us win and be proven wrong than lose even more and be proven right. Another helping of crow, please! 

You are not alone there are a number of us eating crow this year and I got no issues with it!

Make this the baseball, hockey basketball forum??!!!

Quote from: T200 on January 02, 2023, 01:04:41 AMIs it gloating because of who posted it?

No.

I've got zero issue with Elvis and I don't think we have ever locked horns.

Gloating is gloating

Also let's remember I'm not for or against the signing of DJ.  I'm in camp entrust JS to make the right decision for us right now.

Quote from: T200 on January 01, 2023, 07:53:55 PMI don't see the gloating. It's a picture of a coach clearly happy with his QB.

The brown Elvis post wasn't gloating? 🤦🏻🤷🏻�♂️

This isn't a time for told ya so people!

Don't get ahead of your skis or you will fall face first!

DJ had a great game against a bad team!

No one knows what JS wants, what DJ wants and there is a lot that goes in between.

So instead of gloating falsely and banging your chest, enjoy the win and let's keep looking forward TOGETHER
