The "Daniel Jones deserves his own thread" thread

[Blue in the Face]

Full participation for Jones at practice today. He'll still need clearance from an independent neurologist, but if he avoids any setbacks and gets clearance, looks like he'll be in action on Sunday. Hopefully he won't get too up close and personal with Aaron Donald.

I sorta wish that he weren't playing today. Give it a rest for a week or two.

Giants opening drive ends with a field goal for a 3-0 lead. Jones went 4-7, 44 yards.

Seriously? These guys are professional athletes. If they are cleared to play, they will play. Football is a contact sport and that is part of the game. The risk is known and accepted. Pick a different sport if you like.

I agree with your main sentiment...but I don't think Jones was healthy enough to play a good game in this particular scenario....and it's playing out that way so far. And for the record - basketball is a contact sport - football is a COLLISION sport.

If it gets much uglier, they should think about pulling him though. 28-3 at half. The O line continues to be awful. It was a bad, bad half of football.

4 turnovers on the day for DJ. Been sacked 3x.

Rough day.

I was keeping one eye on the box score while watching Packers at Bears but I’ve closed the box score.

THIS ^^^^^ is what I feared. He clearly was not ready to come back. Now he's gonna have the NY hate on him...bad bad move.

The hate should not be directed toward Jones. He has no line and no weapons. Brady could not win with these Giants.

I agree....but there will be hate, and he was clearly NOT ready to play today...medical clearance notwithstanding...and the "not ready" was the main point.

Yes, seriously.

The giants aren't going anywhere this year. If you value Jones long term then protecting him short term is reasonable.

This ^. How many NFL coaches would have played Daniel yesterday after the concussion? Not very many I would guess. No way he should have even been in the game. He should have been on the sidelines with the clip board and head set on. I don't know which is worse, the OL or head coach but I have a pretty good idea.

Couldn't decide whether to post here or in the OT Panthers thread, but DJ will be suiting up again today against the Panthers. Hope he bounces back next week.

[Bob Green]

Hope he bounces back next week.

I’m good with a big bounce back this week. ✌️
