As a Giants fan, it's been a long painful 6 years. It's finally over with DJ. Is Devito any better, NO! At least I can lose trying someone else.
The daniel jones situation was literally what the franchise tag was designed for
Just say it. Jackson chokes in big games. It doesn't hurt. You can do it.
steelers and kc are lamar’s kryptonite it’s not a bad thing to say this out loud lmao. i do find it weird that we only highlight lamar’s bad games though, allen or burrow can have a terrible game (9/30 or being 4-7) and they get a pass, different players held to different standards i guess 🤷🏽 rinse and repeat till he gets that sb!
Daniel Jones didn't draft himself and he certainly didn't force the Giants to give him a franchise QB contract so I wouldn't call him stealing. The current and past GMs both suck. That's the main reason the Giants are the doormats of the league.
Devito is perfect for tanking he wouldn’t start in a FCS school
DJ is a great con artist. Everyday just show up early, last to leave, look at videos, attend meetings, great at practise n dont say bad things abt the organization n suck on gameday for 6 years n get paid $100mil. I wish i can be like DJ
Our kicker choked .. Tucker missed 2 fgs
Legal Fraud 😂😂😂
Giants don’t want pisscott 😂😂😂 Daniel jones and dak are the same QB.. A 💩
You could say they are tanking without Jones if he were obviously better than the backups, and given the mental side he definitely not better. He has 4 games over 200 yards and 2 games over 21 points, and his best season he barely got out of the bottom 10 passing the ball. Because his big season was so low they should have put a $20M a year and 50M guaranteed contract in front of him and told/lied to him they will better any other offers.
Ravens usually lose in the playoffs because they do not reach 20 points, the Bills lost but they were reaching 24 points. KCs offense with an obviously diminished Kelcy could also have a problem scoring in the playoffs and I would be surprised if they score 28 or more points against the Bills in the playoffs.
It’s so obviously clear to tell when someone doesn’t watch the ravens games, they watch the 10 minute game recap after the fact, and look at the box score. lol. Lamar had a shitty performance, and still somehow had the damn near same stat line as, “Superman” Josh Allan. Crazy
He went to Duke if we was talking about basketball then maybe it would make sense
Daniel Jones was the Steve Balmer of the NFL. Managed to keep thier jobs after years of repeated failure.
I think keeping him in would help tanking more
Why is John still talking about lamar? This is now 3 straight videos of him bashing lamar. It's 1 regular season game. It's not like he just lost a playoff game
Daniel jones didn’t take anything. They gave it to em. It’s ALL on the giants
Tanking would’ve been to leave hun starting 😉
The Giants giving money to Jones over Saquon is 1000% on the Giants.
Daniel Jones puts in the effort, he just lacks the skill and has had an absolute trash o line his whole career.
Not every QB can be a pro bowl QB with top 5 worst pass pro, like Wilson and Geno.
Seattle fans have soft spots for QBs with trash pass protection lol 😆 😂
Patrick Mahomes couldn’t do anything with two starting backup OTs in that SB………..
Quit blaming QBs if they have trash o lines 😎
Fraud is using deception for financial gain. The one football crime that cannot be laid at Daniel Jones feet is being deceptive about what he was, his mediocrity was always on display for the whole world to see. He never put up any numbers to justify getting a second contract. Schoen and Daboll legitimately thought Jones was worth it.
Congratulations to his agent or agents who were able to sell a poor product for so much money.
Jones just sucked… He should have never got drafted in the first round!
DJ didn’t commit any fraud.
Giants Willingly Paid him
With a 2 year out.
Compare that with Deshawn, Tua, Trevor.
They also gave him a horrible offensive line.
They also said the same things about Geno Smith and Sam Darnold and they came back.
I hope that annoying agent for DeVito doesn't make a bunch of TV interviews pimping his player. He wore me out from last time
John "too many commercials " Middlekauff.
I think it’s obvious, the Giants were hoping Brian Daboll could turn Daniel Jones into a Josh Allen type Quarterback. Hindsight is 20/20, and that was never going to happen. To them it was worth the gamble because Daniel Jones had some physical gifts, but it wasn’t nearly enough to make him into a good player. They lost the gamble.
Waiting for a pod about the jets GM getting fired. Please Jon, don’t let me down
Lamar smacks every good team in the nfl. He’s not Dak Prescott. Also im sick of how context and nuance doesn’t matter when it comes to the ravens. They got a billion penalties and faced 2nd and long on every possession. Every big play got brought back from penalties.
Legal fraud?? You can only sign a contract if it's offered to you.
Life long giants fan. He was the ultimate tease. That’s all I have to say. Glad it’s over.
all these Giants fans bitching about past 6 years of DJ is hilarious, we Knick fans suffered for decades before Leon Rose became the GM, shut up already
Caleb did not shut anybody up lmao he still stinks
People really don’t understand just how bad Danny Dimes was/is. Giants fans are to blame as well a large portion of them thought he was the guy. Absolute low iq fanbase
Kind of funny when players put clauses in their contract that later force the team to bench them.
First ballot HOF bankrobber
Too exaggerated. He gives you a chance to a win. Somehow the Giants lost a game earlier this year in which they scored three touchdowns and allowed none. There's just forces beyond DJ. He does not have good enough anticipation to be a top tier QB, but he's a very good runner and has a strong arm.
Minshew is forever and a day better than Danny dimes and will never sniff the amount of money that he scammed the giants out of.
Dimes is a backup at best, but not a high level backup.
You guys always say you're all for players getting as much as they can and he did. Blame the team for being so stupid. You make it seem like he held a gun to their head and stole the money
They have paid Jones 81 million dollars so far.😅😅
John and Nick are the only ones speaking facts about Lamar!
