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 haWe all learn this lesson eventuallyI spot started Jones this week for the first time ever. Started him over Murray. Matchups, analytics and last weeks numbers screamed good game today against a bad Panthers defense.
Nothing personal man, but your dead to me. Ha ha
ESPN’s Adam Schefter said he “would guess” Daniel Jones “will never play another down” for the Giants.
He pointed at the tonal shift that Brian Daboll had in yesterday’s press conference, and speculated that Daniel Jones’ $23 million injury guarantee could force the Giants to bench Jones. “Just as we saw ... Russell Wilson and Jimmy Garoppolo be benched last year, and Derek Carr the year before ... to not risk those players getting hurt, I think we’re looking at the same thing with Daniel Jones right now.” Giants GM Joe Schoen held a presser today in which he said a decision on Jones would be “based on football only,” but it’s hard to take that at face value. Drew Lock would be the starting quarterback for the Giants if Jones were to be put on ice, and we might see even uglier football ahead for the Giants after their bye if that’s the case.

Finally, a worse QB than Tim Tebow!Is there a worse QB in the league and a schlub who literally had 6 years to prove himself? Letting Barkley go and hitching wagon to this guy should get the GM fired. What a joke.
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.Unless Daniel Jones spends the next off season shooting every commercial known to man, lobbying for his incompetent guy as head coach, eating everything in sight, and running his mouth, Daniel Jones will likely not regress like Baker Mayfield did.Agreed. The future looks bright for Jones with the surrounding talent. But we also said the same thing about Mayfield at this point last year, so it’s still a wait and see thing.

The Jameis Winston thread is the best, btw. There were those who kept going to the mat for that guy.
You're reading this entire thread?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.
Mean MachineWhere is this guy in 2025?
Vegas?
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

Probably. But Daniel Jones already has gotten a payday and may be more inclined to be something other than a starting QB.DenverWhere is this guy in 2025?

If you're Denver, looking for Taysom Hill 2.0, wouldn't you prefer Justin Fields over Daniel Jones?
Cap killing? Team-imploding more like it.Didn’t see the release coming. What a colossal cap killing deal.
Dallas doesn't really have any use for him, winning another game or maybe two at this point is a negative not a positive.Released by the Giants per his request. Paging Jerry? He likes to collect broken things, right?
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.flat out released in the middle of the year. what a loser
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.flat out released in the middle of the year. what a loser

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
flat out released in the middle of the year. what a loser
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....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.

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.
No need for Denver to acquire Taysom Hill 2.0 since they already have Drew Brees 2.0If you're Denver, looking for Taysom Hill 2.0, wouldn't you prefer Justin Fields over Daniel Jones?DenverWhere is this guy in 2025?
