TBayXXXVII 2,118 Posted November 7, 2023 Always blows when someone gets hurt. One thing the Giants can be thankful for though, is that regardless of who comes in to play QB, there'll be no drop off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm betting there is a dropoff now because we are dealing with third string QB and guys they can get on Waivers. Not good options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, you posit Tommy Devito or Matt Barkley can finish the season with the 6th best QBR in the NFL, and lead the Giants to a road playoff win? Methinks you are flying to close to the sun on the wings of pastrami... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

League Champion 1,593 Posted November 7, 2023 If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Does it matter if it's Daniel Jones.or Tommy Lee Jones at QB???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 994 Posted November 8, 2023 He was so bad even when "healthy" he looked confused all year with the exception of the 2nd half of the game against the Cards when they tanked by using a prevent with no pressure for the last 2 quarters. The giants got worked over by his agent and they fell for the FOMO. What happens if he really turns it on this year and someone else gets that. Instead he regressed in every single way and at this point I would take fields over him any day of the week. In a season of poor qb play he has been up there as one of the worst for the money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_T 591 Posted November 8, 2023 no disgrace in being a homer. Just make sure you understand your bias and know where it lies and dont let it affect your judgment when you pick your fantasy team. in another sport I dont pick from my home team unless the price is so good I'd be dumb not to take it. otherwise my fantasy hockey team would be loaded with guys I like but not necessarily guys I'd win with. but hey, whatever works for you.

bjengel 0 Posted November 8, 2023 On kind of a related note to the Daniel Jones injury - how does it affect Saquan Barkley's production the rest of the season? Not that Daniel Jones was any good this year when he was back there anyways, but is Saquan still Saquan and he is good to go no matter who is starting at QB?

[shocker!!!] You misunderstood. I wasn't saying that Gabbert is/was good. I was saying that Lawrence is a backup, much like Gabbert. At that point, when we're talking about QB's in the 40-50, take you're pick on who you want. Also, I don't think you can call someone a "homer", when they're right a LOT. My guess is that you didn't like that my opinions differed from your eyes and I was right more often. Sorry I hurt your feelings Mr. Nah-uh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jones isn't good. The Giants were best served to get the ball out of Jones' hand a.s.a.p., with any and every other QB they have, that should still be the goal. Handoffs and dump offs should be a priority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Despite the protestations of the low-IQ crowd, DJ made defenses have to prepare for the threat of a deep pass, and the plus athleticism of him running. Tommy Devito is an undrafted free agent scrub. Not sure what Matt Barkley or Jacob Eason bring but probably more than Devito. Barkley Will still get enormous volume making him a good play in advantageous matchups… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Granted they were not playing overly well before the injuries but they did look like they might be on the verge of rounding the corner. But their season is done. I dont see a way forward for them now. Not this year anyhow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barkley Will still get enormous volume making him a good play in advantageous matchups… To be fair, his arm talent and skill set are similar to Brock Purdy… DeVito also has solid mobility for a pocket passer. That said, of course he won’t have Purdy’s success as Giants are far worse in every aspect compared to the 9ers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
