Here's what Jim would have said about Tommy, "He's a bum, he always was a bum and always will be a bum." Then I go out and buy him a Prime Dry Aged Porterhouse Steak and grill it for him.  =))

It's an indication he's looking for support from the Locker Room and Dex is the leader. Otherwise he loses his job.

Quote from: Gmo11 on November 19, 2024, 04:59:51 PMWithout hyperbole Doyle might be one of the worst QBs to ever play. Statistically he makes Jones look like Mahomes. If he sees the field this is absolutely a tank job.
Maybe someone decided that Choir Boys finish last.

Well, that settles that. He's in bubble wrap and untouchable. This was all about protecting the cap.

Would be nice if he could pick up where he left off.

Tommy Boy was benched for Tyrod Taylor for a reason. His last two games he was horrible. I sure hope he elevated his game. My guess is we see Drew Lock soon enough. At least he's on par with DJ.

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Thank You Daniel Jones

Thank you, DJ for all your hard work and for being the example of great character becoming a NYG. Much success in your future years as a QB in the NFL.

Game 1 - entire team outclassed by the Vikings.
Games 2-4 this entire Board cited Jones's playing well leading his own idiot coach to state "he's been locked in".
Game 5 - 7 sacks, 10 hits, 10 hurries. Jones took a beating.
Game 6 - 20-26 with three drops and an elite
91.5 PFF score.
Game 7 - the idiot coach calls a flea flicker with less than a two feet to go. Blames Jones publicly for missing open receivers. Guess Jones is the only QB who does that.

Of course the QB is always the scapegoat when a team loses. But the porous defense isn't to blame? The special teams play isn't to blame? The coach and his play calling isn't to blame?

I guess the other 21 starters, the coaches and the officials all have nothing to do with Ws and Ls. It's all about the QB... got it.

Ted, I appreciate your devotion and you're right, it's not all on him. But the fact remains that through all he's had to face in adversity, it's taken its toll on him. I think that going into this year he knew he was likely to be gone regardless of the outcome of the season. He's been thinking too much and it's evident in the delay in his release and the errant passes. I wouldn't be surprised if he would be diagnosed with PTSD.

Ultimately, this is a good thing for Daniel Jones. He will have time to reflect and recover and go on to another team where there is less pressure as a backup, and who know... maybe he will emerge as a success story.

One thing that can't be minimized, is his commitment, toughness and work ethic, which made him a great teammate, respected by all. Watching the press call, it was clear that it was very difficult for Daboll to work through that. He clearly likes and respects Daniel Jones. I think he believes that Jones still gives them the best chance to win and this wasn't all his decision and it's not how he wanted it to end.

There was a facial tick he made at the beginning of the announcement when he said they were starting Tommy, and that exposed a lot to me, and how he had to protect the Owner by saying he keeps that conversation private. But if it was all his decision, he would have no reason not to say so.

It's time for us to accept that it's time to move on and just get through the rest of this season, and hopefully the Organization finds a way to elevate this team to more successful days.

I think back to the good times we had in Albany at camp and a Get Together that I recall you planned. I met Whales for the first time at that one. The times we talked and the special effort you gave for our troops.

Our minds may not meet again in this lifetime, but I want you to know that I appreciate you for who you are as a truly unique person. You're a good man, John Woessner.

Godspeed...

Big Blue Huddle / The Daboll Conference Call

Much to read into this.

The last time a backup for the Giants played better than the starter that I can recall was 1997 and Danny Kanell.

The move was necessary but I would manage my expectations. The most likely effect will be a motivated team, knowing a new era is emerging.

It's not an easy schedule. The most likely win is against Dallas. I figure 3 but it could be less. I'll know more after this weekend. We have no idea how Tommy will play.
