He is a second round pick yet to play, no one knows if he is good or bad

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on January 22, 2023, 05:56:50 PMI'm not sure why this is a big deal, "out of character", or newsworthy in any way. I don't know of any promising young professional in any field who does not have at least a basic understanding of what the future compensation profile in his field looks like. Do people really expect Jones to live under a rock and have zero interest in his financial future?
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on January 22, 2023, 12:52:18 PMI guess we need to define what is meant by "a good thing."
Obviously, anyone who tags a QB and then ends up signing him is likely spending more money that way, but they also preserved the option to not get locked down if they weren't sure. Maybe the Cowboys weren't 100% sure with Dak when they tagged him, and then they got more comfortable with the numbers after another season. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I'm not really sure - I think you can argue both.
I think the tag would make sense for Jones if the two sides are far apart. If Jones and his camp want a $40-$45mmm/yr contract and Schoen was thinking something more like $30m, then you could argue that it might make sense to tag him and bulk up at WR and IOL and see if he can play like a $45m/yr QB next year. If he does, then they could end up spending even more on him than if they just meet his demands this year, but they will also feel more sure about him in that case, which (in my opinion at least) is a better scenario for the team than paying a little less, but still a lot, for a QB they're not 100% sure is a top 10 QB.

This is not a rhetorical question. Can any of you remember when franchising a QB for one year proved to be a good thing?
Quote from: Rambo89 on January 22, 2023, 11:55:24 AMI never thought I would say this but I think the Giants best bet is to franchise Daniel Jones ride out the 2023 season and take it from there. I would not sign him to an extension.
Quote from: Jclayton92 on January 20, 2023, 01:04:34 PMI'm genuinely surprised that no one has made a thread on the similarities to this season and the 2007 season yet so I'll do it without creating a new thread.
*First off Both super bowls are in Arizona.
*Both Qbs on their 4th year that had serious doubt going into the season and turned it around.
*Beat a divisional winner in the wild card that the media wasn't sold on(Bucs/Vikes).
*Beat the #1 seed Divison rival on the road (Cowboys/potentially Eagles)
*NFC championship on the road hostile blue blood match up (Green bay/49ers)
*Super bowl is on Fox like it was in 2007 and we would be heavy underdogs against a KC/Buf/Cincy.
*Giants won the 1st the London game in 2007, and won this season in London.
Quote from: MightyGiants on January 20, 2023, 09:19:26 AMI really wonder what would have happened if Joe Judge hadn't been fired at the end of last season. I think that was a real possibility. If Joe hadn't done that 15-minute meltdown rant and perhaps not run those QB sneaks, he could have returned for another season. Would Jones have flourished under Kitchens or whoever Judge brought in as the new OC?
I suspect things would have gone in a very different direction with Jones out (and looking for a chance to compete with another team) and the Giants being a top 5 drafting team looking at this year's crop of draftable QBs. Not sure if the Giants would have been able to hire Schoen if he was saddled with Judge as his HC.
Quote from: AZGiantFan on January 19, 2023, 02:19:19 PMI'm the one who posted it so maybe I should explain myself. I posted it in the More Flotsam and Jetsam thread, a thread I created to post to links of videos and articles that some members might not have seen. To date I'm the only one that has posted in the 2 F & J threads, so there was almost no chance that it would devolve into the kind of back and forth that caused this DJ catch-all thread to be necessary.
But more to the point, if you watched the video (I don't know if you did or not) it not only shows JT breaking down some DJ plays it shows JT highlighting the deficiencies of the Vikings secondary. There's been lots of talk about the Vikings poor pass defense, but this video gives specific examples of those deficiencies and how the Giants' play calling exploited them. So in that sense the DJ content was not nearly the whole story. I don't know how much DJ content has to be in a video to consign it to this thread.
Obviously I posted it where I though it should go, and equally obviously the mods disagreed and moved it (I hope they actually watched it before moving it). I'm disappointed that they moved it but I accept that. But I also think the mods are capable of moderating the board without help from thread police.
