Neither Kafka or Daboll can run the offense they want because of personnel.

This is year three, and the guy was a consensus top 10 pick. It's sink or swim time, and I frankly wouldn't give him much rope at all this year given we now have a competent RT in Eleumenor. If he starts at RT in week one, I would not keep him in for more than a couple games if he is bad again.I believe if the season started tomorrow and they didn't feel comfortable rolling with Neal, that Matt Nelson would get the nod at RT and Eluemunor would stay where he is.
In fact, as I said in another thread about a month ago, it is not even clear to me why Neal should be some preordained lock to start at the position. The guy has been nothing short of awful at it for two years now. Eleumenor was solid last year at RT on the Raiders. Why is it a lock that Neal should start in even week one?
I thought we wanted to make things as favorable as possible for DJ, not try to cling to an agenda of making a hitherto draft bust work out.
Quote from: Dumpster Dan on May 23, 2024, 08:06:43 PMHey RichGotta hope that it was either drops or him learning the playbook. As I noted earlier he had 6 Tds on day 2 so hopefully it's simply him going up and down as they do installs.
I'm OK as well as can be expected--and I suppose right now a little better than you
Get well soon
I cant believe the report of Lock being 10 for 20 can be accurate. Hell if I went out in the back yard in my underwear and had a catch with my grandkids I could do better than 10 for 20 and I am 93 years old with a dead arm.

Quote from: BluesCruz on May 23, 2024, 04:21:16 PMHe did very well at Syracuse and Illinois.....big time programsI know things get confusing here but you have trashed Jones to me at least 7 times now, when if you read any other thread would know that I don't think Jones is a very good Qb.
By contrast Jones was a big time loser at small time Duke
Where are we here, in a hall of mirrors? DeVito is better than the robotic Jones by a country mile
The delta is that Jones is now Mara's very expensive adopted sun
It seems the Giants will let DeVito float and lost to waivers....he will wind up in NE as the next Tom Brady My prediction
Jones has been touched by the hand of Mara.

Quote from: Philosophers on May 22, 2024, 05:34:53 PMAs a string bean he may not be anle to press any WR.Funny thing is that he is significantly better in press than zone.
Quote from: Philosophers on May 22, 2024, 09:17:14 AMJess - I'll be very disappointed if their best RT is playing RG. That simply can't happen. It's got to be the best 5 at their positions and to establish it early so they get reps.Yeah from what I'm hearing at otas they haven't defined a 5, but instead are working on 2 man blocking combos currently so hopefully we see something soon.
Quote from: sxdxca38 on May 22, 2024, 10:48:31 AMPFF had DJ ranked 12th in the league just prior to the 2023 season, which can be seen down below.PFF are going off of Jones pff rankings among his peers for 2023 alone. The article is based on "starting" qbs and not every Qb otherwise he would have been below his teammates from last season as noted in the article.

Now after the 2023 season they have him ranked 29th, seems a bit radical doesn't it?
NFL.com had DJ ranked 18th before the 2023 season, which can be seen down below.

Now they have him ranked 46th, which can be seen down below, seems a bit extreme doesn't it?

Quote from: T200 on May 22, 2024, 01:44:22 PMFor me, these lists aren't about the players or teams. It's based on personal preference of some isolated criteria. It's worthless. But... people try to justify or debunk whatever they agree or disagree with. It's just someone else's opinion. They're peddled as if they determine something when in reality, they determine absolutely nothing.Yeah I just see it as content to get through the dead season. There are always guys that rise and fall in any given season so it's pointless to predict but makes for an enjoyable read if bored basically.
