Full tweet: As I board my flight home from Germany, I’ll reiterate my point from yesterday: It’s over for Daniel Jones. It would actually be self-serving for Daboll and Schoen to continue starting him. He provides a human shield for them, as all of the team’s failures can be pinned on him.

If Daboll is an offensive guru, let’s see what he can do with Drew Lock, the QB they decided to make the backup knowing Jones was entering the season on shaky ground.

  1. Maybe so, but the longer Jones is out there, the more incompetent Daboll and even Schoen looks.

    Also agree with Duggan at the end there. Wasn’t Daboll supposed to be a QB whisperer? I guess that went out the window for QBs not named Josh Allen.

  3. Jones shouldn’t be the sacrificial lamb for Daboll’s failure at head coach. if we look at the whole picture objectively, we should’ve fired him after the Washington game/kicker situation. Daboll has proven time and time again that his first season was a fluke and he is unprepared for the head coaching position. Bring in Bill and 99% of the problems are cleaned up. That’s just my opinion.

  4. If there was no injury guarantee continuing to start him would be the smart move but we absolutely cannot afford the cap hit if he can’t pass a physical in March and with the way he’s been playing this year we are playing with fire.

    I assume Daboll and Mara speak semi-regularly. If Mara tells him his job is safe and Daboll tells Mara that benching DJ because of the injury risk is the best thing to do for the future, then everyone should be on board with that.

  5. Shoen and Daboll are safe until they get their qb. I do suspect they will have a short leash after that though

  7. Foolproof plan:

    1. Discuss w/ DJ converting him into a Taysom Hill type TE/RB/QB

    2. DJ Agrees

    3. Redo his contract so it’s more appropriate for the new role

    4. Give Lock or Devito all the starts this year

    5. Win Superbowl

    6. Draft or sign a vet QB of the future

    7. Win more Superbowls

  8. Most of the blame should be on the QB. When the most important position on the team sucks it’s hard to win games. Point blank period.

  9. This!

    I have been telling you guys this all season.

    Since Kafka was already demoted Daboll cant use Kafka as a scapegoat. This means that Daniel Jones is the only scapegoat stopping the fans from blaming Schoen and Daboll for how terrible this team is.

  10. I don’t agree. At least if they throw Lock or Devito in there they are showing they’re trying to make some sort of change.

    I’m pretty sure everyone knows these guys aren’t all that great and won’t pin shitty QB play on them if that is what happens.

  11. 40 million in dead cap space is going to haunt Schoen and Daboll a lot more than throwing out a backup quarterback to lose games in a tanking season.

  12. Jones is cooked. Everyone knows this. Sit him on the bench and avoid that injury guarantee at all costs.

    The million dollar question is what do they do with Schoen and Daboll.

  13. Hot take: Daboll keeps Jones in here for the tank. Devito would win a couple games and push us out of top 5 again.

  14. This is such a delusional take, the obvious question would instantly become why they kept him going for so long which would be more of a mark against them than it currently is. At this point though, it becomes more of an issue every week they risk that injury payout.

  15. Schoen & Daboll should be fired for how they constructed such a soft team that can’t tackle, stop the run, run block, pass block, or catch passes

  16. I couldn’t disagree more with this assessment. Refusing to bench a player who deserves it is not a shield you can hide behind because then you have to justify why he is still the starter. And not just to the fans, but to the other 52 guys in that locker room on game day. It isn’t a shield in any way at all. If anything, ignoring the problem would only be another nail in the coffin. Not just to the fans, but to the players as well.
