done anything good at the NFL level besides throw the dig route and run he has all sorts of issues on his film at least in my opinion he's never really done anything well besides those two things i guess the deep ball accuracy from pff that one year where he was like top five but he threw like 13 deep balls his is average up the target has been horrible i mean we don't need to go into all the things he's done poorly but they they're all good, good reasons to suggest that, like, this was it, man.

0:22.1

We should have known this already.

0:23.4

And I know me and you did, and a lot of fans did. But you know who didn't, Nick? And this is where the problem starts for me. And this is why when I, when I say this, don't blame Daniel Jones. Stop blaming Daniel Jones. Stop getting angry at Daniel Jones. Don't be mad at him.

0:18.2

It's time to start being mad at the other people.

0:21.2

The people who have sold us this bill because, look, angry at Daniel Jones. Don't be mad at him. It's time to start being mad at the other people.

0:38.4

The people who have sold us this bill, because look, they said we're going into the season

0:44.2

with Daniel Jones is our quarterback one, and there ain't no competition for him. Drew locks your

0:48.2

backup quarterback. We're not resigning Tyrod. DeVito is your third string quarterback. We're

0:52.7

developing DeVito. No draft fix, no free agent capital spent at this position. Daniel Jones is your QB1. They walked us into this thing to week one to the point where now in week two, we have a coach being asked if he's their starter. We have a feeling of no hope in a season, in week two of a season, which is unacceptable, to be

1:11.2

completely honest for a fan base, unacceptable for a program to do that. And so I'm starting to

1:16.5

think, Nick, enough. We knew that he wasn't going to be the guy. So at what point do we turn this

1:21.7

over and say, it's actually, we should be fully angry at Brian Dable and Joe Shane for putting

1:26.9

us in a position where this was our only option at quarterback, the only real option. And we're going to see Locke at some point if he continues to play this battle Jones. And maybe he can prove me wrong on this, Nick. I hope he can. I don't think DeVito can, but maybe he can prove me wrong too. But the reality of situation is, dude, we've been sold this bill where this is your QB1 for the season, and that's it. And at some point, I can't be mad at Daniel Jones. I can't be angry with how bad he played because I knew this is what he was. He was a better version of what he showed, but he was never going to be their guy, to be completely honest. Let's just be real about this. So then whose fault is it that we're entering year six with no quarterback competition for a quarterback who's been as bad as he's been on film over the first five years? Yeah, there's a lot that goes into that. I mean, we can go back to the 2022 season, winning all those games, winning the playoff game and how that's kind of slicing the New York Giants up a little bit now because that led to this contract,

2:17.8

that led to more Daniel Jones after this same regime did not pick up his fifth year option.

2:22.4

They did not believe in him initially.

2:23.7

He ended up winning them over and now he is here on his second year under contract

2:28.7

with this $40 plus million a year type of deal.

2:32.5

Look, he was the option to go for back then i like if you wanted to bring

2:37.1

the band back together you were going to resign daniel jones if you bought into the development

2:41.8

then good for you brian dable we hoped that we could see a little bit more from

2:47.2

daniel jones but the twenty twenty three season was the twenty twenty season, and we didn't. And to your point,

2:52.3

why didn't you go and upgrade the quarterback spot with an often injured quarterback who was
