OT…. Daniel Jones torn ACL

[78thealltimegreat]

Coach Daboll confirmed today Daniel tore his ACL and is clearly done for around 9 months.

Obviously this puts a wrench into the Giants off season plans as they are more than likely going to be drafting possibly top5.
Gotta think this has the Giants going quarterback now. 

[BuffaloBillsGospel2014]

brutal, it sucks for Daboll I really wanted to see what he could do in year 2 but if nothing else he may be getting a QB upgrade perhaps.

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Soon...uh...little Daboll here won't be able to get a nickel for his Danny Dimes.

Seemed like a good time to resurrect that line.

They are 4th in draft position I think.  A new QB isn't the answer until they have a better OL and at least 1 stud WR.

 

I trade down in the 1st for more picks,and move Barkley for picks as well.

Barkley is a UFA after the season so they can't really move him.

Did they just give that bum a massive contract?  Hilarious

They already have Jalin Hyatt. He’s been invisible because they don’t have anyone to throw him the ball.

Their off-season was an epic fail. Jones should have signed for 20 and thanked god for Daboll salvaging his NFL career.  Getting blown out by Philly should have ended any thought of more than a bridge contract. After all they won only 9 games, with everything falling perfectly into place for about 7 of those. Instead Jones held the franchise over a barrel for a near max contract. To add to the mess Schoen allowed himself to get pushed around by someone with no leverage. All the giants needed to do was sign Barkley for 2 years, then franchise jones as the 1 year bridge, and they would have been 30-40 million better off than they are right now. 

[Big Turk]

I mean they set themselves back big time by re-signing him...he was their Tyrod Taylor(ironic since they also have Taylor)...get them to the playoffs, then dump him, go to your backup for a year(or move up high enough to draft a QB), get a high pick and then pick your QB.  

 

They tried to short circuit it by re-signing Jones to a ridiculous QB contract based on 15 TD passes.  The Bills plan was there for them to follow and they chose to try and get greedy and not go thru any pain.  Except now they are both going thru pain and they have no way out of the contract for at least another year or two. They are literally nowhere and are in danger of turning into the drought Bills.

These moves have meddling ownership written all over them.

All can be made better by picking the right qb during the draft. If they don't, might be done after three years.

gonna cost them 92 million dollars for... whatever he put up this season.  Maybe he'll start for them next year, but i suspect they'll go QB in the first.

He IS tyrod taylor... He's athletic, all of his big plays come out of the pocket.  The second things break down he usually looks to run.  He doesn't throw with much touch, and he isn't a tight window guy.  He's not even that athletic tbh - if my QB's best attribute is his running he should run like a 4.4.

Hummm.  Interesting 

[MJS]

Jones sucks anyway. It changed nothing for them.

[benderbender]

If he had been any kind of competent before the knee it would be more notable. He didn’t look good at all. I wonder if this was a Tua type of “neck injury.”

You ALWAYS get the QB when you have the chance.

It has been reported that Giants scouts were at the USC / Washington game. They're clearly scouting the QBs, and I have every expectation they'll take one. It's not hard for them to get out of the Jones contract.
