The jury is still out on Mr Jones (for me). I'm encouraged by what I have seen so far. I will have a firmer position on DJ towards the end of the season. However it is always smart to hedge one's bets by looking at options in the collage and FA

Because he doesn’t know how to slide, and we keep using him as a running back. DJ has about 3-4 years tops if this play calling coaching style keeps up. Every-time he lowers his head, that’s one less month on his career. You thought that concussion was bad? It’s only going to get worse. Good win, but why do we keep using our “franchise” QB like he’s a power back? This type of offense ruined rg3s career with his knee, it’s going to ruin DJs career with his head. Sadly he's the best runner we have

Granted, the offensive line was offensive. And it took Eli’s twilight years and turned them into the twilight zone. However, The quarterback we all remembered was a shell of his former self. Poor accuracy, terrible pocket awareness. If he was a horse, he would have been Elmers glue years ago. Legendary Giant, but let’s be real..

Disagree, the kid has shown enough to build around. He also needs to keep running and scrambling. The only plays I don't like are the designed interior QB runs like power/traps/etc. Keep him on the edge and if you're gonna run him up the middle have it be on a draw out of the gun. I agree with you. Same things were said about Phil Simms. We need to get a new GM, hopefully somebody like Louis Riddick . We need to build a team around this Kid. I would trade Barkley and Engram. Let’s go get a blue collar Runjing back like AJ Dillion, get an offensive line and a defense that can tackle and rush the passer. DJ is the least of our problems.

this is a joke right? 🤣😂😆 Jones is having a great year and this is what you complain about? This is what I meant by the thread I made, "Giants Fans Amaze Me" I mean my god Giants fans are the hardest on there team Cowboys and Eagles fans are a walk in the park compared to Giants fans. I think he means he is afraid Jones will be permanently broken in half in a few years You Worry about that IF it happens the kid is tough as nails I'm not worried but just to play devil's advocate here may be when he is draft eligible we try to draft Arch Manning for insurance...

Under what criteria is Jones "having a great year"? He is in the bottom half of the league in almost every passing category. So your saying if he keeps having a good season he shouldn't be in the Pro Bowl? I'm not the only person on here thinking he is having a pro bowl kind of season 🙄

I love how the response is “let’s get a REALLY good BACK UP for when he gets hurt”
And not
“Let’s teach the guy how to SLIDE instead of fighting for an unneeded yard, run out of bounds, and to stop lowering his head.”
I didn’t say for him not to run or extend plays,
I’m saying why is he lowering his head and taking unnecessary hits?
