Whether they are more positive or negative despite you thinking the opposite. For me is that while QB play is bad, OL is tiers below the list of problems the media blames for the Giants bad season. he attitude is usually “yeah the OL stinks BUT THE QB…”. And I’m not defending Jones, I want a new QB drafted but it seems like the people don’t watch games and just blame the QB by default because they already hated him. Also the narrative that “they paid Jones 40 mil and didn’t pay their best player”, when there were more nuances and factors to went along with that situation rather than the team choosing Jones over Barkley.
Over the last four years the biggest disconnect between national media and Giants fans has been regarding where Daniel Jones rates among starting NFL QBs
National media initially was super low on Daniel Jones, but after his surprisingly good (but seriously flawed) rookie season they labeled Daniel Jones a below average QB, where they have consistently ranked him for the last four years.
Giants fans meanwhile have been up and down to extremes on Daniel Jones, sometimes saying he is a top 5 QB, and sometimes arguing (with stats to back it up) that udfa rookies are outperforming him. Sometimes it appears to jump to extremes on a game by game basis, which is insane for a QB with 5 years starting.
