Daniel Jones is a rookie and this is preseason...please put him out that Shurmer...lol. they act like this kid is the anointed one after a few games against patchwork defenses with no game planning.

 

Sure, it is and sure, Allen looking good has also only come in preseason, albeit against more first-teamers (excluding Kuechly last week) than Jones.  But the Allen & Jones detractors surely wouldn't be placing any caveats about "preseason" on their performance if they were looking badly; if both were looking as poorly as expected than they'd be going in for the kill, insisting it only proves/validates their preconceptions about them. 

 

It just shouldn't be had both ways.

He’s reportedly outplayed Eli thus far (from media observations). Pat Shurmer threw this out there today:

 

 

i still think it’s way too early but that’s a heck of a statement for the HC to make considering Gettleman thought he might sit 3 years 

 

You can’t take a lot from preseason but IMO Jones is kind of looking like Mahomes did during his first few preseasons games.

Its not that Jones was a bad prospect when Giants took him at 6...is that they could have gotten him with their next pick and also took Oliver or Allen at 6 still.  

 

So Giants are always going to wonder if they could have had BOTH Jones and one of those stud defensive picks too.  

 

But at the end of the day, the QB position is the most important, so if Jones pans out, no one will dwell on that down the road.  But if either Oliver or Allen proves to be pro bowl stud and Jones peaks out at just being a decent but not great QB (or worse) then the pick will probably haunt them a while.

I'd be fine with rookie Daniel Jones starting.  No way will he be totally prepared for a real defensive scheme coming at him this early in his career.  But he does look promising for the future.

 

Such a weird quirk of schedule to be the home opener for two clubs in consecutive weeks in the same stadium.
