    Devito is infinitely more fun and like-able than DJ. Not that DJ is a bad guy by any stretch of the imagination. He’s just kind of boring. He’s Eli 2.0 but worse at football and not as endearing. That said Devito beat the Commies. DJ lost to the cowboys, Fins, 49ers, not exactly comparable teams. Anyway I’m a DeVito guy. Go Tommy Touchdowns!

    As an unbiased nfl fan… everyone else was baffled at the contract you all gave Jones…. absolutely baffled

    Washington lost the game, the giants didn’t win it. They literally handed the giants that game and anyone who can’t see that is just in denial.

    Washington somehow managed to look worse than the Giants and Jets have.

    This whole discussion isn’t about whether DeVito is actually good. It’s about whether Jones (with the $160mm contract) is better than a replacement-level backup QB, given the same set of tools to work with. And it seems like the answer is “no.” Both DeVito (who will likely improve) and Taylor (who will likely not improve) have run the same offense better than Jones this season. And if you watch the games, it’s not a mystery as to why. It’s because Jones simply doesn’t see guys down the field quickly enough. Besides the “eye-test,” there are ample stats available showing that the Giants receivers do get separation from defenders, and that Jones has the highest percentage of throws in the NFL that are short of the sticks. But again, if you watch their games, and have been watching them for the past few seasons, you already know that. So in other words, Jones is not good. And the real question that is underlying all of this is, “if you kept the same group, same offense, same coaches, and installed a good QB, what would the team’s record be?”

    I’ll keep saying it

    Tommy D threw for 3 TD passes this last weekend. The last time Daniel Jones did this was November 10th of 2019; more than 4 years ago.

    So for those in this thread making the claim that this happened only because we played the Commies, I would point to 4 years of evidence that Danny has had plenty of bad defenses to do this against and hasn’t.

    IMO, it’s very clear that Tommy & Tyrod can both run the offense:

    1 - At worst, to the same effectiveness as Daniel Jones

    2 - At best, they can do it better

    Which screams to me that we need to move on and I don’t understand how anyone can see it any other way

    Can we take the time to appreciate the fact that Pugh came straight off the couch and Devito came straight out of his mama’s basement? The fact they’re even competing is impressive

    I’ll be that guy

    Thinking DJ is a better QB than Devito is vastly different than being a DJ stan

    But go off on your imaginary fan base here that actually thinks DJ is an elite QB and untouchable. If they exist they are just as much as a joke as those who genuinely think Devito is a better QB than DJ 🤙

      DJ is obviously better. You’re nuts if you think DeVito is some revelation after 1 game against crappy Washington.

      But lets be honest about DJ. Most of his production (statistically) comes against teams like Washington, Indy, Minnesota. He typically managed 2-3 games like this per year to prop his whole season up and is otherwise mediocre.

      DeVito going off just shows how low the bar has been set for DJ. He gets praised and paid for doing things an undrafted rookie has shown he’s capable of.
