Giants are releasing QB Daniel Jones (future backup to Josh Allen)

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

He is truly terrible. I live an hour from MetLife I never saw a guy get more undeserved chances or more excuses made for him. From day 1 he sucked and somehow it only got worse. Never should have been taken anywhere near where he was and after several years, still no clue what he’s looking at. Think EJ Manuel but then somehow getting 6 years and an inexcusable big money extension lol Growing up around here and being a Bills fan I absolutely loved seeing it. Any team dumb enough to even waste a roster spot on him will instantly regret it.

spat out his pacifier? Is that what you'd call it? The thing you give a baby to suck?

 

Spat his dummy, means thrown a childish tantrum essentially. 

 

Yea, he spat his dummy. 

 

 

Dummy is pacifier? Got it now. Thanks.

 

He confused me too with that one.

He has Indianapolis written all over him.

 

 Six vowels and six consonants... sounds like writer's cramp for whoever did the writing.

I guess I'd go with possibly Raiders giving Jeff George 5 years/26 million in the mid-1990s. That was real money back then.

Stat wise, George had the far better career. He was having better passing seasons in the 90s than Jones is having today where it’s never been easier to put up bigger passing numbers.

Jones is a really bad passing qb.

EJ got like 10 games and had a better start to his career than Jones while having Nate Hackett as 1st time nfl OC and his qb coach!!! He got benched in his 2nd year at 2-2 with 5 tds and 3 ints. 
 

more qbs are ruined than developed in the nfl. So I get not moving on too quick. But imagine if you’re Saquon struggling to get $10 million while taking handoffs from Jones making $40.

With regard to George, there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. That first season where he had 29 TDs and 9 INTs, he was actually awful. He was a sack magnet and consistently crumbled in the stretch run of games. The Raiders went 4-12 that season and were done with him before the midway point of the second season of his contract.  Gruden had come in and quickly discovered that George couldn’t — and didn’t want to — run his offense, so they shifted to Gannon and George was out.
 

I will say that played pretty well for MN in 1999. But that was not on the Raiders contract and the Vikings were done with him after just that one season.

I was really young for that time so I’ll defer to you. But I would say based on numbers, he was asked to do more than Jones. Jones was a glorified game manger whose best ability might be running. But is he ever really elevating a team? Such a bad contract.

Someone will take a flier on him. Doubt he is a waiver pickup based on contract as he is owed 11 million for the remainder of the year.  When he clears waivers, he’ll be able to go where he wants.

 

Bills will want nothing to do with him.  
 

Maybe Indianapolis?  My dark horse is the Niners.
