Garbage play calling, and for the second season in a row a team that's showed up looking like it's July.
Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 31, 2024, 04:01:07 PMSeems absurd to me. A QB under pressure can still complete a pass and even make a big play.agreed .. sacks stop drives
I seem to remember a QB under extreme pressure completing one of the most meaningful big plays in SB history. And then 4 years later while under serious pressure complete one of the biggest sideline passes in SB history. How many big plays has a guy like Mahomes made while running for his life.

But no QB has ever made a big play after being sacked.
Quote from: MightyGiants on April 30, 2024, 09:37:43 AMIn the 2022 offseason, most considered Daniel Jones a dead man walking.Jones is a good player. just not good enough at the QB position. he has a lot to prove to everybody this season.
Consider:
1) The Giants passed on exercising DJ's 5th-year option
2) The Giants signed Tyrod Taylor who many fans claimed was as good or better than Jones (he did have a Pro Bowl to his resume)
3) Jones had injury issues and needed to prove he could stay healthy
4) Worst of all, Jones was going to have to prove himself behind a mediocre, at best, O-line with no significant receiving targets. He would get a bit of a tangential boost from Barkley (who already lost something after his major knee injury)
Everyone was writing Daniel Jones off, there was much talk about the QBs in the draft. Only Daniel Jones decided he wasn't ready to be dead and buried. He dragged his under-talented team to the playoffs and beat the 13-4 Vikings in the hostile Minnesota stadium. He earned himself a solid contract.
From Daniel's perspective, this is just deja vue all over again. I am not suggesting that Jones will stay healthy and knock it out of the park. I am just suggesting we shouldn't be shocked if Jones plays like a franchise QB and takes the team to the playoffs again while at least staying healthy enough.
