Quote from: MightyGiants on April 18, 2024, 01:42:30 PMThe fun thing about that point is it's a no-lose situation for those claiming the Giants have buyer's remorse. After all, the inverse won't prove them wrong. They can clam they were right in either outcome since we can't preclude a lack of drafting a QB is proof of a lack of interest in drafting a QB.
I think if they don't take a QB, and one is available, it is an indication the team is fine with Jones. I can't fathom that being the case. Either half of that equation. But that would indeed prove they don't have any buyer's remorse. If they do draft a QB I think unequivocally it proves that they do and I'm not sure an argument can be made otherwise.
Whether the Giants want to say he played in 3 games in miserable circumstances or not his own play when he had plays to be made was awful. Nobody will publicly smear the guy. 1) he seems like a perfectly nice and hard working player that genuinely wishes he could be better than he is. 2) he's very likely to be starting next season no matter what happens. So they will continue to jump through every hoop they can to make excuses for what anybody that was paying attention could clearly see which is: Jones ain't it. Might turn into a nice backup that floats from team to team for a few years but if he's your #1 guy you're not going anywhere.
Yes that 2nd half against Arizona was other-wordly. But then he has the rest of the season that he had and the whole thing is wasted. The biggest problem with Jones is precisely the fact that he can have a half like that! If he was a disaster all the time like Zach Wilson we could all point to him and say I don't know much but I know that guy sucks and he shows us just how much he sucks every time he takes a snap. Jones is just not terrible enough to win 6-8 games a year but likely not more than that which leave the Giants in this QB hell.
