Except fantasy football is the one thing in life we just don't learn. The stove is hot. We learn early in life not to touch it. In fantasy football, when the stove is hot we think we can touch it just a little and be okay. Ha ha

Finally, a worse QB than Tim Tebow!
Daniel Jones sure got the dumb/sad look down perfectly after watching Eli Manning, it's just unfortunate he didn't learn anything about reading a defense.

Interesting, going back to random pages in threads like these. FTR, don't play FF anymore, and we've all been wrong, so no offense to anyone.
The Jameis Winston thread is the best, btw. There were those who kept going to the mat for that guy.

That was really a Baker Mayfield post. Before he bounced around the league a few times. Baker did all of those things. That he’s turned it around is no small thing.

My goodness, just skimming but pages 8-13 are hilarious. I haven't got to the hangers-on parts, which should be good. I'll pick it up some other time maybe, it's entertaining for sure.
I forgot about the nickname, "Danny Dimes" btw. That aged about as well as parts of the middle of this thread did.

Jones looks like he needs a new team. He has flashed multiple times over his career, but then has some games (like last week) where he plays poorly. The play where he choose not to pass to his first option who was wide open really stands out. Maybe a change of coaches/scheme can put some life in him. It has happened with Geno, Baker, Russ, and a few others.

Daniel Jones benched.
Tommy DeVito now the starter.

Assume this is to prevent INJ to Jones so they won't have to pay him after they cut him?

And Drew Lock's incentives too apparently
Giants are an unserious team.
Top backup somewhere. Maybe Miami?
Denver
Peyton turns him into Taysom Hill 2.0

Amazingly 250 million people that have never played football could see what the NYG GM could not. Jones is not a quality starting NFL QB and never has been. But hey, they got Barkley still ... oh, wait a tick.
At a craps table yeah

If you're Denver, looking for Taysom Hill 2.0, wouldn't you prefer Justin Fields over Daniel Jones?

Probably. But Daniel Jones already has gotten a payday and may be more inclined to be something other than a starting QB.
Fields is still chasing that 2nd contract...

Cap killing? Team-imploding more like it.
Good for the Giants I guess finally seeing what the majority of us saw years ago...

Released by the Giants per his request. Paging Jerry? He likes to collect broken things, right?
Dallas doesn't really have any use for him, winning another game or maybe two at this point is a negative not a positive.

His time is obviously done, but doing it now is more of a business decision than anything - ensuring they don’t owe him an injury settlement if he gets hurt, even in practice.

Not sure he is a loser, but the first half of your sentence is true. First round draft pick, no off field issues, had stretches of decent play, and made more money than most will during their lifetime. We have different criteria for the word loser apparently.

could see a playoff contender taking a stab as backup the rest of year....SF...?
Obviously the surprise is they are taking the cap hit all at once, was not even sure they had the space for it.
My next thought, as I'm a self-centered fantasy fanatic, was maybe my best ball teams which had Jones and are down to one QB left might have a shot of getting a QB back in action. But then more I thought on that it seems doubtful.
Wish the guy well wherever he goes. He's all class and I got tremendous respect for the way he ran the ball this year coming off his injuries and his precarious standing with the team. On top of that he has to deal with people taking shots at him all day, mainly over his contract, as if they would not have taken the money.

i hear you but im struggling to remember another top 5 qb pick being released in the middle of a season because of how poor he plays.
so compared to every other starting qb in the league, he is a loser

he was released because he requested it

Was he making waves or goofing around at practice this week? Saw something on McAfee or one of those shows but didn't pay it much mind.
yah, the GM needs to go here. This is a classic case of Team MisManagement. They have mis managed the team for far too long. Barkley is just one example of this. Granted, it does not look like the team was going to be competitive for some time and the shelf life of a RB is short, so there is the question of whether keeping Barkley would have been truly helpful in the long run....

They had him running scout team safety this week in practice. Just seems unnecessarily mean.
Calling him a loser also seems just mean for being mean's sake.

The guy is a class act, worked his way back from an ACL tear after a solid 2022 season. May not be cut out to be a starting QB in this league, but he wouldn’t be the first high draft pick to fail. I actually could see him successfully resurfacing as a decent starter down the line in a different system.

Sam Darnold and Geno Smith (at the age of 32) too.
In a few years, Daniel Jones (or Mac Jones or Kenny Pickett or Bryce Young but probably not Zach Wilson) could have a similar story.

He had an injury guarantee of $23mm or something like that. Because of that, they weren't going to play him or even have him doing anything of note in practice. So this makes sense all around.
From everything I read, he's a class act and a great teammate. He'll land somewhere and may even have a Geno / Baker type second act.

No need for Denver to acquire Taysom Hill 2.0 since they already have Drew Brees 2.0

Sure, you can blame Daniel Jones. But I'd go upstream and place most of the blame on Mara, Schoen and Daboll. On hard knocks Giants leadership mentioned having to upgrade the offensive line so that Daniel could have a chance. The upgrade looked minimal Daniel this year was one of the top 5 sacked QBs.
