    DJ 9-11 for 141 yards in the first half. A passer rating of 118.8. The fumbles are a concern, for sure, but he has had a really, really impressive preseason. If the Giants struggle at all with Manning, the cries for Jones to play are going to be deafening.
    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    Agree that ball security is the biggest visible question mark thus far, but it’s hard to blame Daniel for giving it up tonight mid-throwing motion when both sides of the line imploded and he got hit from the blind side.

    He’s showing all you could ask for out of the sixth pick in the draft right now. I just hope the Giants wait until he’s ready to play him in the regular season, whether that’s this year or next. The good news is that the Giants fan base seems to really like the pick now and have his back for the time being.

    I saw that #TheMan was a top trend, but it turns out to be about TSwift dropping new music.

    Tom Swift is "the Man?" Wow, that takes me back 50 years or so. Don't remember him being interested in music.

    Back to DJ...

    The hype is growing. Even with Eli having a good preseason (and looking spry, based on his lead blocking on one play last night).

    Oof i can tell that is a very flawed system just by how high Eli is ranked. Love him and always thought he gets too much hate but he shouldn't even be mentioned in a tier with those others.

    Obviously the young QBs who don't have a great body of work are discounted and place lower but who below him would you place higher? Not saying I disagree but I'm not sure there's a surefire argument for any of the QBs below him to jump ahead...

    I don't know what goes into the numerical value. The ordering seems to roughly track the older QB ratings on sports-reference.com:

    Peyton 96.5
    Rivers 95.6
    Ryan 94.9
    ------------------
    Palmer 87.9
    Newton 86.4
    McNabb 85.6
    Eli 84.1
    McNair 82.8

    “If there were an NFL Draft Lottery, the Jets would always lose it,” said Tom, unfortunately.

    I always thought “Tom Swiftie” should have been the designated couple nickname when Taylor Swift dated Tom Hiddleston.

    Well, out of that list, only two of those guys have won a Super Bowl (twice for Eli) and both have the last name Manning. Coupled along with his longevity and multiple pro bowls, I'd say he belongs in that tier pretty easily.

    I'd say easily
    Palmer
    McNabb
    Newton
    McNair
    Smith
    Vick
    Stafford
    Luck

    and still young but looks like they are already better than Eli at any point in his career

    Wentz
    Goff
    Mahomes
    Baker

    and too early to really tell but I would bet on

    Darnold
    Trubisky

    I could even see an argument for

    Winston

    Guess it depends on what your criteria is. I like Eli but talent wise he isn't near those guys. I made a list earlier this year to prove to a Cam hater that Cam is indeed elite based on his stats alone. What surprised me while making the list was just how bad Eli really was compared to the other qbs in the last 15 years or so (Been awhile since I checked but he averages more turnovers than tds or close to it). Those superbowls in his case happened because their defense carried them in the playoffs combined with a solid run game and Eli playing at a slightly above average level for a 3 or 4 game stretch.
