- Daniel Jones projected passing stats for 2023 -

[sxdxca38]

And if you could also add how many passing TD's you think he would have and why?

Thanks

I voted for 4,000-4,499. It's a huge jump, but given what Schoen and Daboll decided to pay him and given they obviously know a lot more about both him and the sport than I do, I have to think this is where he is headed.

Based on my own eyes and based on what I have seen him do so far, I would have picked a notch lower, but I am putting my faith in the new regime of this organization. Anything less than this wouldn't justify paying $40mm a year.

As for passing TDs, if I'm thinking about it along the same lines, I'll go with 29, as a number like 23 would render this compensation for a 5th year QB an overpay.

Wow those are some good numbers you've presented, and it makes sense what you are saying. I think most Giant fans would be quite happy if it transpired the way you have stated.

Thanks for your contributions, let's see what the others have to say and vote for, I'm curious

How would you feel about DJ HAVING lower numbers but reaching the SB?  Would he be "worth" the $40m then? I'm asking because of the emphasis you seem to place on the 2023 salary of DJ. What would Mehomes get in 2023 money?

Just my two cents, but I suspect you'll get a lot of votes for the third category (3500-3999). That is where I would be if Dave Gettleman were still our GM and the Giants brought in the same new talent they did. But I have a lot more respect for Schoen's modern NFL football acumen, personally. So until he proves me wrong with my strongly favorable opinion, my money is on him being right.

If the Giants made the Super Bowl and lost, yes, you would not hear me criticizing the Jones contract.

And for the record, I have not criticized it once to this point.

If DJ had lower number and reached the super bowl wouldn't that say more about the team around him than him?

Im less worried about Jones individual stats and more worried about the collective teams ppg. If the teams points per game goes up than we are likely winning games.

Tough schedule facing some solid Defenses and playing at home in the Northeast. 3500-3999 but I can envision up to 4200.

Eli passed for over 4100 yards four times. His highest was 4933.

If Evan Neal improves and Waller plays 14 games, I think DJ breaks 4K. Waller should be the single biggest lift to the passing offense. Schmitz and Neal can help as well with improved time in the pocket

Greg,

You make some nice points here.

I agree if Neal improves, and Schmitz lights it up at Center, the O line with Thomas will be solid.

You add in Waller with the other WR's, and they've got some talent.

I was struggling on the poll where to rank DJ's stats for the year, but I think he comes in somewhere between 3,800-4,200 yards, 66-67%, 25-28 TD's, 6-10 Int, 92-98 QB-Rating.

He threw for 3,200 yards while not playing in the 17th game, so I don't think these numbers are out of line on what he can accomplish this upcoming year.
