With good reason..and if you have been watching Giants football, and understand the game, you will see he is still making the same mistakes.
In hindsite, that whole 2019 QB draft was weak and, when its all said and done, the Giants may come out with the best QB out of the lot.
Go Giants
Please explain. I know football and have been watching. My observation is that he is NOT making the same mistakes and the team's performance as well as his stats would also bear that out. His turnovers are way down and he is not trying to play hero-ball. He has been extremely accurate this year, can run and is tough minded....all this with a no-name receiver corps. He is projected to make over $30M+ next year from either the Giants or another team.
Just take it at face value -- he knows the game. Him and the other experts who booed Jones on draft night and complained about his development on a mediocre team. The experts know you don't take your guy with the 6th pick -- you diddle around and get cute for value (they know what other teams would do). Or take Dwayne Haskins (rest his soul).
They also realize leading a team of mostly average talent to its first playoff win in 11 years is mitigated by "mistakes." So leave it at that.
lol...You really got butt hurt by that comment.
First off...EVERYONE (Giants fan and non-Giants) moaned about that pick. If you say didn't, you're lying. With that being said, that 2019 draft is not turning out to be the greatest, so its moot at this point.
Jones still has trouble reading a defense. His accuracy, although it has improved throughout the season, is still not very good and he makes zero adjustments on the line. To his credit, the kid is an athlete and seems to be very coachable. Daboll has done a FANTASTIC job coaching him up and coaches Kafka and Tierney have done great playing to his strength and shortening up the playbook.
Would I give him 30+ mil? HELL TO THE F1CK NO. I'm looking at the 20-25 mil range and that's being generous. The Giants would be foolish to tie up so much $$ on Jones when he needs so many pieces on offensive in order to be successful.
