When you look at the Giants offensive line and then the loss of Barkely in the beginning of the season, it would be hard for an experienced QB to work behind that OFFENSIVE LINE. I hope to see an improvement in the off-season. I think Daniel will be fine.

GoDuke!

What he said!

not going to dignify the post with an actual response.

I am sure the Giants backup Colt McCoy with 4TDs in 5 years is the clear answer.

Why not? I don't agree with him, but the columnist is basically saying that perhaps it will focus DJ on the TO problems. Hockey coaches do this all the time.

With the season the way it is, "tough love" won't affect playoff potential anyway. Perhaps this is the time to do it - if done at all.

I'm with uh_no. He's the quarterback, and the leader of the offense. Benching him undermines that. I think Monday night might be lesson enough.

Of course, Eisenhower did bench Patton during WW II, and then brought him back after Normandy to lead the Third Army in its drive across France. But I'd stick with Jones if I were the Giants.

I agree with you. Was just pointing out some of the local noise here.

Noise is a good way to describe most things published in the Post these days - they have descended even more deeply into the world of sensationalistic clickbait and hot takes.

yeah, they love alternating between adoring Jones and thrusting him towards the guillotine.

yeah. the schtick last week was that di biaso was trying to torpedo the mets sale to cohen because he wanted arod/jlo to own the team so he could appeal to the latino base.

And Mr. Cohen's "checkered" history with the SEC. (Still better than the Wilpons for this lifelong Mets fan since 1962.)

Not sure why he'd need to appeal to the Latinx voters - he's term limited (thank God!). Even his wife has pulled back from a Bklyn Borough President run next year. (Current BP is in the mayor's race)

Sounds a lot like what we've heard around Durham and Chase Brice. Just sayin'.

DJ and the Giants up 10-0 on Wash. DJ having a good day so far. 60 yard pass and an int reversed on replay.

[chrishoke]

DJ throws a 1 yard TD pass to put NY up 20-3.

Jones is looking good this afternoon. A significant factor is Giants ability to run the ball.

[Bob Green]

Halftime stats for DJ:

12/22, 141 yards, 1 TD

[chrishoke]

Congrats DJ, 23-20 win.

[Bob Green]

Daniel Jones 23/34, 212 yards, 1 TD

ZERO turnovers.

Somebody here on local DC radio said Jones looks like a pro-bowler every time he plays Washington. Haha, love it.

Was pretty surprised when I checked the box score. If he can string a few of those games together...
