Through 3 quarters now. Great game, Nix has turned it around the Oregon leads. I think both these guys will be really good pros. Probably just the Oregon thing, but I see Nix as Justin Herbert type. Good pocket passer but can move. Good enough arm. Prototypical type guy. Penix though, I'm seeing Brett Favre and Josh Allen. There is nothing he can't do with that arm, from any spot on the field, from any arm slot, on the run, under duress,...anything and anywhere. BUT, better at making decisions, isn't a pure gunslinger that will turn it over a bunch. Made a bad decision on the INT and gets a little antsy if things break down, but the guy is just electric. Puts the ball on the fucking mark with every throw, with authority but catchable. I am just entranced by him. This is the first game I have watched of his and it is so clear if he was right handed, had less of an injury history, he'd be the number 1 pick. Burt honestly after the initial shock you forget somehow that he is throwing left handed. Like, with Tua, Vick, Young - the fact they are left handed was always front and center in your mind, Penix just delivers the ball so well, throws it so quick. I may really be in love.

Dude looks like the guy from A Bronx Tale.

That was a bad INT, so far what I see is he gets a little quick to throw off off balance if there is any sign of the pocket collapsing. I'd almost rather he take off and run in those situations but other than the INT, the off schedule, off balance, side arm throws have worked out tonight. Probably needs to stand in there a little longer and deliver the ball though, really no reason to get happy feat the times he has done it.

My man is dropping fucking dimes. Why is he not a top 5 projected pick? What am I missing? He has it all.

I'm in on him, all the way. I really have not watched any Washington games this year, so maybe I should go back and watch some highlights an read what experts think his weaknesses atre, but I just love watching him tonight. That deep pass could have been thrown sooner just now but it looked like he was going through his reads. Dude looks like the real deal.

Well boys, it's been a long time coming. Been a month since they won and I am still riding fucking high.

Or even just pick your spots to do it, and the spot isn't all the fucking time. Used as an out of character thing to wake people up is fine, like Reid getting red faced, but right now that IS Daboll character. The image of Daboll stuck in my mind is how he basically publicly humiliated Jones (I think, maybe Geno) on the sideline as he was coming off the field, showing him the tablet or whatever with a look of contempt and disgust.

So I am watching the Pac 12 championship, wanted to see my man Bo Nix audition for the Giants, and holy shit after like 6 passes I am in love with Penix. This dude just has it. Very live arm, strong, exceptionally accurate throws. Quick, confident decisions with the ball on the money on some tricky throws. This dude looks amazing.

I do not consume a great deal of traditional sports media. A little espn TV, check espn website often, etc. I do listen to a Giants podcasts, Talkin Giants I think, those guys said if Jay Glazer said it, it is absolutely true. The shine is wearing on Daboll for me. Not just how bad this season is going, but how he makes himself look like an ass on TV too often, that "fired up all the time" thing. Reports he isn't everyone's favorite person to work with and be around. You just don't need that always yelling style coach anymore. Modern players want to be treated like grown men and they want someone who isn't combustible. Getting fired up and lifting guys is one thing, dressing down the QB, assistant coaches, all kinds of other players on the sidelines is just demeaning and makes him come off as someone always looking to blame someone, not a coach looking for accountability. Successful franchises today are dependable to and accountable to their players and team, are positive influences. They can even be fired up, like Dan Campbell, but his players would run through a wall for him, based on appearances. Daboll just always appear to be dressing someone down and shifting blame, at least that is the appearance to me as a fan.

i felt it was critical to remind everyone of my mock drafting prowess and football intellect for knowing Tommy D would be the next Tommy B.

Odds he reunites with Daboll and Shoen?

And I’d say go watch those playoffs again. Maybe the d gets the glory in the Super Bowl, but Eli was the best player on the field during the entire playoff run.

Throw a bunch of money at the offensive line.

Go ahead and put me in the Nix camp for now.

Weird situation for Jones and the Giants. If you assume we're in the market for a top of the draft QB, and since Jones contract pretty much ensures he will be on teh team next season, it creates a weird situation. Sure, from the Giants perspective it is a good theoretical situation of having a rookie sit behind a competent qb for a season instead of being thrown to the fire. But do you do that to Jones? One injury filled year behind a terrible offensive line and no weapons when the world pretty much agrees we did not set him up to succeed, after signing the big contract to be the qb of the future. I guess you can look at it as an opportunity to interview for the rest of the league, but that is a pretty shitty situation to put him in.

He was trying to run from a sack and tripped over Cager. I didn't see a replay of what happened to his leg yet. Feel bad for the guy.

Good trade. No chance jones get dealt. If nothing else he will take the pounding next year while the draft pick sits.

Wink probably should be the HC.

I was going to come here to say I do not see how you replace Taylor for Jones at this point. Other than the financial commitment. Not that TT is going to be the starter of the future, but he gives you the best chance to win games this year and also gives you an opportunity to evaluate the talent you have on offense.

McLaurin could be a dominant WR on a real team

Yeah I feel like a pos now. I do feel for him. Me wife has struggled with a neck injury for years. Never really goes away. Of course I wish him a full recovery.

And the Tommy Devito era of greatness begins

I don't want him fired, and there are plenty of reasons this team sucks, including those you mention. But for the life of me every single important player on the team, that should be the building blocks of the next 10 years, is playing the worst football in their lives. Jones has literally never looked worse. Except for one half of one game, he is been the absolute worst QB to take a snap this season. Neal is the worst RT in the league Thibs is honestly a borderline starter at this point I can't say Mickenney is playing bad, but you don't hear his number called around the ball like a couple years ago. Even Thomas, before getting hurt, wasn't playing his best ball. Not that Slayton, Campbell, Hodgins were world beaters, but not much going on with those guys. Robinson is THE ONLY pass catcher that causes excitement. Waller is invisible. The defense actually isn't bad, actually I think considering everything they've played about as well as expected. But the offense is the worst thing to ever step on a field, and if not for the 2nd half of the Cards game, they would be proving that statistically. And yeah, I am in no rush to clean house again, but something needs to spark this coaching staff because they are not getting it done, from coaching players to calling plays.

Look, I don't want to go there. But if we're going to have the conversation about Daniel Jones, I think we have to talk about this coaching staff. Name one guy that has improved their game from last season. Every significant player on the roster that was on the team last season looks like they have regressed badly. At least from what I have seen. Jones, Neal, Thibs, Hodgins, Slayton, Jackson. Not that the regression is equal among them all, but I would say none of them has shown improvement. If you go back to the Thibs / Neal draft. They were the right picks, I think 9 out of 10 fans and GMs make those picks in those spots. For both of them at this point to look like busts (Thibs did have a really good game this week though), that can't be bad luck, right? There were maybe questions there, there were better guys drafted in front of them we knew were better, but at 5 and 7, those were the guys. And the play that keeps bugging me, the Tush push, as it was happening I was thinking they were copying the league trend but didn't look like it was something they were committed to the decision to go for it and run that play. Like they felt they had to because that is what the league says they have to do, but when you watched them in formation, that aggressive tension you see other teams doing on this play, it wasn't there. That eagerness of each guy to drive the guy in front of them through the endzone and get a coupel yards. Then I heard they have never even live practiced it, only walk throughs. So what is it, was it just that Dabol was new, had some plays, and now the league is on to it and he isn't adjusting? How can this team be so bad, and have gotten so much worse?

If you Google Reddit nfl streams the first or second link has some options. I used it a couple seasons. Sportsurge got so bad.
