All right, three, two, one.

Hello and welcome to the PFF Dancing Football Podcast. I'm your host, Ian Hargitson today.

We continue our NFC East and overall NFL Fancy Football Team preview series with the New York Football Giants. And look, starts at the top, year two,

Danny Dimes, Daniel Jones coming on back in terms of fancy football land. I mean, this rookie year went as well as it could have gone. I mean, only Lamar Jackson have more games, but at least 30 fancy points than Jones last season. Now, okay, Lamar had seven Jones had three.

There's obviously a gap between those two, but I mean, he came out, he put up big productive performances and had shootouts with fellow bad teams. I mean, this was all we could have hoped for from a Daniel Jones who liked Josh Allen was more or less written off, you know, before you played NFL snap by most evaluators out there. And look, I've never.

I need to improve my, you know, just college. Scouting, just, you know, having a better grasp on these guys entering the NFL, but, you know, just seeing Jones and Josh Allen over these last two years, you know, come in unanimously, you know, kind of be like written off for the even take a snap.

I really think just as a, you know, fancy football community as a whole, we could all do a little better at, you know, giving these rookies, let them get actual NFL reps, preseason, regular season before making too strong of opinions. I know how tempting it is when we have February through April, every single year, you know, to only focus on these rookies, but, you know, just seeing these situations where, you know, quarterbacks in college, weren't in the right scheme or place or, you know, just or even just the reality that you can be a bad.

Real life quarterback and still be a productive fancy quarterback, you know, be careful about writing off the next perceived first round bus looking at you Jordan loves so anyway, Danny Dimes was awesome in the preseason last year and it's a phone for over 3000 yards 24 touchdowns and just 12 interceptions.

The issue was 18 fumbles and just 12 starts absolutely absurd and additionally, I mean, Daniel Jones, he only started 12 games, but managed to join James Winston, Kyle Allen, Philip Rivers, Eli Manning and the shown Kaiser as the only QB's to rack up at least 30 turn over worthy plays in a season since 2017. He needs to rain things and he can do it. I mean, Lamar Jackson out of fun when problem is first year, second year was able to cut that down. So I think it's certainly more solvable than the interceptions.

But, you know, the issue here and you know, it was a good point by Evan Sobel when it came on my podcast to talk quarterbacks. I would be so much higher on Daniel Jones if we didn't have Jason Garrett now, you know, in charge of this guy's development seemingly no calm plays for the offense. I mean, as great as Tony Romo and back press got our.

I'm not sure how much credit we can get. Get for that. I mean, the common complaint of Cowboys offense is over the last 10 years, was just how predictable they were, you know, lack of pre snap motion, lack of moving around the talent. So I think, you know, say, Juan Barclay is going to be fine, just getting the workload, but expecting Daniel Jones to make this big year to leap in an offense that will probably still have, you know, anyone's idea of a below average offensive line.

You know, good weapons everywhere, you know, still not a great defense. So it could still be a productive fantasy producer, but, you know, it was much higher on Jones before the whole gear situation that is for sure.

Moving on to that back field, 2018's RB1, say Juan Barclay lost the title in 2019, the Christian McCaffrey, but I mean, I think it's still pretty clear that Barclays anyone's idea of a top two fantasy back in the league. I do have massed my RB to at the moment, but man, I was saying on the old,

self spread, various training centers where they plan for us. Where we are in some time on campus?

But there's always PSchremlins training.

For tabularcent team, extraordinary, and well, we just did a lot of thatBYC's Story of the Tasca Co.

And I know here's older folks, best players ADP now having skill

league just in terms of who you want to have on the field, all money, that sort of stuff, equal.

So the question is what is the past game floor going to look like?

I mean, over the past two years, only McCaffrey, James White and Almanquimara have had more targets per game than
