Fitzpatrick has a great schedule.
I was pleasantly surprised by his play and do think he has promise (although I still think he was overdrafted, but most of them are).
He was facing a godawful secondary that couldn't stop a rookie and a former AAF WR a week ago, but the fact he was able to carve them up without throwing an INT or losing a fumble (he did have a brainfart fumble but it was recovered by his lineman) bodes well for his progression as a QB.
Don't miss Landon Collins at all.The Frankman said:
Not sure what they will do, but man the defense needs some players. I like Jeudy alot, but this appears to be a very deep WR class.DAG said:
Gonna bump myself, I have and will continue to believe in this young man. As previously said he's humble, he's tough, and he's a hard worker. As the Giants improve their line, I think he can become a top 10 QB as early as next year. I did think he would have more than 2 rushing TDs, but 23 throwing TDs isn't bad on THAT team, and in 11 games as a starter. I'd say most of us would happily take a rookie QB averaging 2 TDs a game on a bad team. Future looks bright.
This article is an excellent take.
It depends how you define “near future”. This season? Well, for the last game who knows.
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.
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.
Daniel Jones is more of a Prototypical quarterback, he has a cannon for an arm, and he seems to have a much better head on his shoulders then Mayfield does. For what it’s worth, I was not in on Mayfield at all coming into this year. I would not have invested in him and dynasty (and did not in my league’s start up draft this year) and it seems like the coaching the Giants have in place, including Peyton Manning mentoring Daniel Jones (I don’t know if that still a thing, but it was) it seems far more likely that he will have success in his sophomore year compared to Baker Mayfield.
Yeah, but I’d read Peyton was working with DJones personally.
I believe both Manning brothers did during the predraft process, as they had a connection with the Duke Coach and had offseason workouts down there.
Yep both worked with Jones every year he was at Duke (as both Mannings go to Duke to train each off season) and both were very high on Daniel, which is why I was high on him coming in (plus I'm a Duke fan)
I really think this is the biggest issue re: regression. As noted, Jones has more arm talent (is it a canon though? thought he could make all the throws, but not necessarily a canon ala Allen in Buffalo), but he really seems to have his #### together. Professional that knows he has a lot to learn, never hear any noise, has taken those cues from Eli - even when they were out celebrating playing flip cup in a bar in Hoboken last week.
I'd still rather have Baker Mayfield than Daniel Jones as my team's QB, and I don't think its really close. Sophomore slumps happen. Mayfield looked like a star as a rookie, Jones has had some moments sure, but he wasn't on that level at all.
Young QB's are often a little volatile year to year. Not everybody can be Mahomes/Watson. Mayfield very much looked like he was in the same league as them as a rookie. To throw in the towel after 1 season is what seems insane to me.
McShay is trying to be entertaining. And he is delusional.
