Big Blue Huddle

I don't think he's 7 times better.

Out of interest, what was Taylor's PFF grade? I've had a look and don't think the heroes/goats scores have been posted.

If healthy, Jones will start.

Apologies, I thought I read this morning that he hasn't practised.

Edit - I misread Duggan's tweet. He's not been a full participant in practice since the injury. My mistake.

Without any practice this week, I'd be shocked if Barkley plays.

I think it's over for now concerning the  discussion that "we've locked up our franchise QB for the foreseeable feature".

The injury, whilst not his fault, is concerning and questions have to be asked as to whether he is "dependable". This is the 4th year out of 5 he will have missed time.

A lot of people got drunk on beating down the Colts, Washington and the Vikes last year. Now, we are saying "oh, look at the defences he's played". Fair enough, but that's a two way street - there is very little acknowledgement he put numbers up against poor defences.

I also think a lot were drinking the kool aid of a 9 play drive in the pre season. Those same players that excelled in that drive are doing diddly squat this year.

Jones in someways a victim of circumstance. He's never been consistently elite and there's a lot of fan fare around pumping him up (see the preseason) which makes the fall from grace ever so more stark and people even more critical.

I didn't want to sign him long term but once he was signed, I wanted nothing more than him to succeed. But alongside everyone else on the offense, he's been mostly dreadful. I'm very disappointed in how this has played out.

Of course there is time to right the ship but I think in year 5, Jones is out of excuses around supporting casts, lines, coaching etc. He has to start making some plays - regardless of how difficult that is.

So yes, I think it's over for now.

I don't disagree with what Smith said but I don't think sounding off and calling someone a 'JAG' is constructive criticism.

I think it's the weapons.

At 5-11-1 over the last 17 games somethings gotta give.

I doubt it's Dabs or the GM. But something will give.

Team sounds like it's imploding.

It reads, and I've not heard it, that he's looking to blame the offense.

Both have been dreadful. I don't have enough fingers on my hands to point to all the blame for this collective failure.

Quote from: brownelvis54 on October 08, 2023, 04:52:35 PMMakes the most sense. Daboll can call the plays. Giants need to shake things up

That's my thinking.

Also agree with Rambo below that it'll make little difference.

Probably the first sacrificial lamb after the during the bye week. 

Quote from: TDToomer on October 08, 2023, 04:45:25 PMI hope he plays Sunday instead. 

Oh yeah, SNF is Monday morning here. I looked at the schedule this morning and didn't think. My bad!

Was just about to post this.

Fully suspect to see TT next Monday.

There's clearly some medics on here and that's fair enough.

I'm lawyer but tonight, I'm a sports fan and in the instant gratification of immediate news. I enjoy their point of view and appreciate it.

Quote from: Trench on October 08, 2023, 03:45:09 PMHow the hell would this guy know without seeing an MRI

I absolutely agree.

But this guy has a decent hit rate.

My views on Jones as the Giants QB are irrelevant. I don't want him having neck issues for the rest of his life in pursuit of my entertainment and sporting wants.
