Jokes aside, he is slightly cross-eyed, I believe he's trying hard to account for that by focusing hard, causing him to open his eyes real wide like he's doing. I don't think he's on drugs or Adderall like other people have been saying.

LMAO. Who is the fan of the team, the guy rooting for their QB to be successful or the guy not rooting for that? Jones has zero fans that just like him. This isn't Tom Brady going to Tampa where suddenly a bunch of us would root for that team. Jones success = Giants success, it's really that simple.
By that logic Jones failures = Giants failures x 5 years Yeah no shit, any Giants fan should root for him to succeed lol. This is not some complicated conspiracy. It's all fun to have a story like Devito but no one wants their third string QB playing.

If he's going to be the QB, it's important to be in camp, playing with the new pieces on offense. Maybe that includes a receiver. The bigger concern is what happens moving forward. The dude gets hurt a lot. Not really, take into consideration the amount he has been hit becuase of the shitty O line he actually stands up pretty well. Of course the "OL" mantra. Daniel Jones' injury history: Dec 1, 2019 NFL Pedal Ankle (high) Sprain Grade 3 Jones suffered a high ankle sprain in a Week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He missed two games. It was a designed run play where Jones was tackled and landed upon by the defender, who rolled up on his ankle: ------------------------- Nov 29, 2020 NFL Thigh Hamstring Strain Grade 2 Jones injured his right hamstring during the third quarter of Week 12's game at Cincinnati. He missed one game. It was designed run play where he pulled his hamstring while running. ------------------------ Dec 16, 2020 NFL Thigh Hamstring Strain Grade 2 Jones reinjured his right hamstring strain that limited his ability to run during the loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Still gimpy from the hamstring injury Jones was extremely immobile. He couldn't move in the pocket on an easily escapable play. So instead he took the sack. And even blamed himself for it: “I wasn’t running like I’m used to,” said Jones, whose right hamstring was clearly wrapped under his uniform. “So that may have played into certain situations like that, but I think I need to do a better job getting the ball out of my hand and finding the open guy. I was holding the ball a little bit and that put a lot of pressure on those guys up front.” ------------------------- Oct 10, 2021 NFL Head Cranial Concussion Grade 1 Jones suffered a concussion in Week 5's contest at Dallas. He was cleared for the next game. Designed run play where Jones acted like a complete idiot. He should have been called for an personal foul penalty as well. But since you don't watch the games here's a video of his idiocy. Nothing to do with the OL. ------------------------ Nov 28, 2021 NFL Cervical Neck Strain Jones suffered a season-ending neck injury during the Giants' Week 12 win against the Eagles. He was placed on IR and missed six games. Jones' first neck injury. He ran the ball up the middle and once again exposed himself as not knowing how or when to slide properly. It could have been called unnecessary roughness on the Eagles defender but the point it Jones got lambasted while trying to slide and not protecting himself. Had nothing to do with the OL. ------------------------ Oct 8, 2023 NFL Cervical Neck Jones sustained a neck injury late in Week 5 vs. the Dolphins. This is the only one that can be blamed on the OL. ------------------------ Nov 5, 2023 NFL Knee ACL Tear Grade 3 Jones suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee in Week 9 vs. the Raiders. Nothing to do with the OL. Non contact injury. Again nothing to do with the OL. Seven injuries. One that has to do with the OL.

DJ ain't stealing nothing. Giants didn't give him an extension they said prove it, he did. Took them to the playoffs and got a win for the first time in a long time so the Giants negotiated the terms of the contract no one stole shitt and if you think that then you know little about the business side of Professional Football. What exactly did he "prove"? That throwing for 15 TDs and rushing for 7 more in a season will make some think he's Canton bound.

“Y'know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites ya.” -RIP Quint Except Jones is a minnow, not a shark, and every DB knows when he’s comin’ at ‘em. Somewhere AverageJoeBigBlue is smiling.

Time for one for Rosie: Cross-eyed Jonesy goes limping out again He signed a nice contract But he rarely plays the game DBs dine on his poor reads While our offense looks like fools And that jerk-off GM never saw him at Duke school

It's all fun to have a story like Devito but no one wants their third string QB playing. Exactly, so why did you say it in the first place? In actuality, if we had a good defense and good play makers on offense Jones wouldn’t even have to be “successful” he would just not have to **** it up which he’s prone to do.

Rooting for Jones to be successful won't actually make him successful. At some point Jones just needs to accept this is best team he going to get in his professional career and find ways to win if he truly is a franchise QB. He is not going to get many more chances to start.

He is not going to get many more chances to start. It was speculated that he got that contract for doing exactly what was expected of him (limit turnovers being key, I assume) from his new HC/GM. And I don't recall him ever saying he can find another team or if he entertained any other offers before that contract. I'm not sure what he himself can do or is capable of doing any more than that, to be honest.

I am saying he has a rare oppurtunity that is slipping away if he doesn't step up his mental game. He needs to perform and produce some TDs, offense and wins. Us rooting for or against him won't change that. I know he is a boys scout and does everything that is told but sometimes mentally you need to go beyond that and take control of the offense and will it to succeed if he is a true franchise QB. He hasn't showed he has the instincts or the natural ability most franchise QBs have to turn problems into opputunities. He needs to adapt and find weaknesses in the defense and attack it. He is hesitant in that department or not confident to elevate his game to take that caculated risk. He is a safe QB which is not complimentary for an offense that doesn't have many above average talent. He really is a JAG on this offense just like the other guys.

I think his future is entirely in his coach's / GM's hands, they've certainly seen enough and I don't see how his skills or weaknesses can be changed by this point.

I will give DJ a little bit more credit. I do believe he has the capacity to improve and reduce his weaknesses and keep studying and understanding tendencies of his opponents to find oppurtunities. He has the physical tools. It is the mental aspect of the game he struggles with. If he isn't trying to improve then I am with you he needs to coaches to mask his liabilities and simplify the offense so he doesn't need to think too much.

I wouldn't accuse him of not trying, it's not like he's one to mouth off about others' failings. But I can't imagine how much simpler you can make this offense, particularly with Barkley gone. I do believe they've been calling plays based on what they realize the players can't do, as far as any acceptable success rate. But they've already brought in a few FA linemen that should be some degree of improvement, and hopefully the new line coach figures some things out. The consensus seems to be that if they don't draft a QB early, then it's sure to be an offensive player - receiver or lineman, that could hopefully open up what plays they could run. That's why I'm saying it's in the GM's hands right now, then the coach's once camp really gets going.

Jones will work hard, give you all he has and will be prepared.
Sometimes a person's individual 100% is not enough. Which is the case with most drafted QBs. No matter where they are drafted.

If he does get a chance this season he needs seize it or he won't have another.
