OT: 2019 Football Thread: Part III – Danny Dimes and Sammy Spleens Edition

Darnold hasn't, but the weapons Jones has are significantly better.

You can dislike Shurmer, but Jones has Tate, Shepard, Engram, and Barkley on his team.

Besides Bell, Darnold has had Griffin, Anderson, Demaryius Thomas, and Crowder.

Jones is in a much better position to succeed, but anything is better than the Jets.

Funny, how the narrative changed when Darnold started to struggle. When the Giants traded Beckham we had the worst skill position players in the NFL and when the Jets signed Bell there was optimism.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

After watching Detroit/Oakland today I'm less impressed with Jones 4 TDs last week.

He's a rookie on a bad team, no matter what NFL team he plays you should be impressed by 4 TDs.

 

[Fitzy]

BTW, people want to talk about how Barkley hasn't resulted in more wins while Chubb and Ward haven't done much winning either.

NYG have been calling 66% pass plays this season, which has been ridiculous.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

I like Barkley but it's the position that's just not important.

In hindsight the correct move for the Giants was to trade down with the QB desperate Bills who had multiple 1st. Could have also possibly gotten their 2019 1st.

jesus will you stop with this. Every week you come on here with the “ehh remember how the giants got piled on” thing. The Giants got killed by GIANTS fans. Your own fan base was melting down. Wasn’t jets fans.

 

[Bob Richards]

Let the record show that I am still melting down about the Giants and refuse to change

Yeah, what's your point? I wasn't calling out any specific fanbase as far as I know there are Giants fans that post on HFNYR. Also:

I don't know who is going to be better but all of Jones's weapons have missed time due to injuries or trying to get their wife pregnant.

 

[Barnaby]

I think it’s fair to say the juries out on which QB will have a better career. Darnold has dealt with an illness and a horrible offensive line. Jones is a rookie and has has injuries to skill guys. If one of these guys get buried one day or throw 4 TD’s another day against an awful team then I’m not going to get ahead of myself just yet.

 

[Barnaby]

So I wonder which team Giants/Jets fans feel is more promising for the future and neither is not an answer, Giants/Jets or the Rangers? On the one hand, I think the Rangers have more quantity of top talent, on the other hand, I think they may have found their QB which is half the battle so I think the Giants. I do like Gorton more than Gettleman.

Clearly the Rangers... I don’t think it’s debatable.

Second you’d say the Giants bc the Jets have looked so poor, but I don’t think either team is all that close.

 

[sbjnyc]

I hate to say it and pour salt on Jets' fans wounds but I think this may be sans baseball, which I don't know follow, the worst franchise in NY. Just no hope.

As embarrassing as the Jets are, the Knicks are easily the worst franchise in NYC.

As long as the "QB whisperer" is coach, Paper Planes are going nowhere.

Ain't happening. We're not owning this one. No way. We got enough on our plates. We got nothing to do with the Giants, their GM, their draft strategy, or the narratives that surround the team.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Bros, I'm telling you, watching Pat McAfee's high ass, sitting in talk-shows, on his own podcast and stuff, telling jokes and anecdotes and getting fatter, is my favourite part of the season so far. lmao

Had a good day in fantasy too. xD

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Did you miss the part where I said my posts weren't aimed at any particular fanbase? Actually they were mostly aimed at Giants fans. The photo with Jets fans just showed that there WERE some Jets fans that held the same views. I believe Jets twitter shared that photo too.

The thing is in the NFL it's much easier to rebuild and all you need is a franchise QB to become a consistent contender. That said it's hard to get one but both the Giants and Jets might have one. In the NHL you need to optimize your entire roster.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Not sure it's the case at the moment, they're close. The Giants aren't too far from them ATM.

The Knicks were the worst team in the NBA last season yet they got lucky to draft in the top 3. Being bad in the NBA can be a life sentence.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Darnold should have come back last week or this week. Coming back so soon they obliterated his confidence. Atrocious decision making by gase AND Douglas who damn sure should've known better then to stick him behind that oline.

Add in the osemele and Adam's saga and I'm very worried we put the franchise in the hands of two egomaniac goons with limited vision and no concern for the welfare of the men they're supposed to lead

Willing to give Douglas a chance but gase is awful. No adjustments, no creativity in play calling, uses every excuse in the book and has alienated himself from two locker rooms bc of stupid ass decisions. And I was excited for gase bc I saw a team that had 0 QB but played above their talent in miami

BOOM!

 

[ponzu4u]

the giants line is not good...

 

[RangerBlues]

the giants line is not good...

He had his thumb in his eye and still could not stop him
GeeeeZEEEEEE

 

[LeetchisGod]

What is the point of having all these defensive tackles when we still can't stop the run?
