Quote from: MightyGiants on May 01, 2024, 03:52:32 PMThe irony is if Gettleman had just drafted Parsons (and assuming the Giants were able to manage Parsons as we as Dallas) or if DG grabbed Slater, no one would have ever talked about the Eagles outmaneuvering the Giants.
It was the outmaneuver combined with the terrible pick of Toney in the trade-down (along with squandering the first-round pick they got on Neal) that made things look so bad
Quote from: gregf on May 01, 2024, 03:17:35 PMTo make worse, we passed on Slater and Parsons. And the comp pick Neal has not panned out. Ouch!

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.
QuoteI 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 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.

QuoteI 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.
Quote from: MightyGiants on April 30, 2024, 09:41:40 PMThis is a very inaccurate framing of the sides and the issues. Based on this very thread, here is a proper description of the "sides."- On the one hand, you have people who are saying not to write Jones off just yet. They are not saying he will, but they are not ruling out the possibility that he will be successful again like he was in 2022. On the other side, you have people who are so certain of their assessments that Jones is a terrible or "middling" QB that they insist there is no possibility Jones can have another successful season, despite the, at least on paper, improvement of his support.
Quote from: B1GBLUE on April 30, 2024, 04:17:30 PMi think its just more they were in a position to get their next guy, rather than being completely done with jones. jones is halfway through a lackluster career, and has had some serious injuries in that time. i think they are more concerned about him staying healthy than his play, which probably isnt far behind. a contingency plan has to be put in place at this point
Quote from: MightyGiants on April 30, 2024, 03:56:58 PMHe is a player who can't stay healthy (only 12 games last season) and is often not 100% due to injury. He is also a player whose stats and play are declining with age.
