Callie am I missing something No one is saying Jones is a franchise QB. I believe they are just saying he may be the lesser of all evils. Much of what you say is speculation. How do you know how Herbert would have reacted if he was in Jones' shoes ? How do you know he wouldn't have gotten hurt ?
What are you basing your position on, statistical rankings that are not apples to apples ? You're looking at Herbert having statistically the worst OL. Every game is different, did the Chargers play the same teams the Giants did ? What was the supporting cast Herbert had vs Jones.. How would Herbert have played with Garrett as his OC ?
No one is saying Jones is the better QB, no one is saying Jones is more talented than Herbert. Just because Watson was sacked 62 times and he still had better numbers how do you know those numbers would have been duplicated if you swapped him in and Jones out ? Again not saying Jones is better than Watson, not saying Watson wouldn't have put up better numbers than Jones, just making a point that this is not apples to apples an you can't just interchange QB stats to prove a point.
What's to say a Wilson or Rodgers would come to NY, especially as they get older and maybe are more desperate to get that SB win. Does coming to the Meadowlands help them attain that goal
Pointing out that other qbs can still succeed despite challenging circumstances,bad ol etc and jones hasn’t been able to is a fair point of difference . A franchise guy is what the giants wanted when they used the 6 th pick on jones,is able to lift his team and get the job done even in tough conditions .
You can take most any backup qb in the league and give them a great ol.great receivers,a great rb / great defense and they can game manage their way to being good. Dilfer won a super bowl that way.
But that rarely happens, saying that Watson got sacked 62 times and managed to have.a great year,is a factual statement and relevant because that line is so much worse than the giants current ol.
Herbert as a rookie playing great under an ol that was ranked by pff as the leagues worst .
The giants drafted jones to be the guy to lead the team,be able to succeed when there are challenges ,and score points / throw tds / and in the last 25 games he has been dreadful under the challenging circumstances he has been given .
