Also, what does it say about the state of the NFL that I'm more excited about the Bucs/Falcons game next Thursday than I was about the Giants/Cowboys?
Me and Pepperidge Farms are old enough to remember when tonight's game would have seemed like an epic matchup instead of a "football's on; I guess I'll watch it" game. Edit: I think it might just be the bad influence on this board. There are more Falcons fans here than I've ever met in real, actual life. I feel for you guys.

I feel like Al Michaels's IDGAF style as he ages makes for great television and will be awesome until one game when he says something that causes Amazon to issue a statement the next day that includes the phrases "mutually decided" "regrettable" and "wish Mr. Micahels the best"

Doesn't seem like he gets along with Kirk, though, and that makes it a little unfun to watch. |

You are correct. The Jags did not provide Lawrence with an elite pass catcher before he signed his record breaking contract. Just because his name was brought up earlier, let's see what Daniel Jones has had to work with since the year before he was drafted in 2019. 2018: RB Saquon Barkley; G Will Hernandez 2019: QB Daniel Jones 2020: T Andrew Thomas; T Matt Peart 2021: WR Kadarius Toney 2022: WR Wan'dale Robinson; OL Joshua Ezeudu 2023: C John Michael Schmitz; WR Jalin Hyatt 2024: WR Malik Nabers So where is the benefit of the doubt as far as being an elite passer who just needs his team to hit on some picks and everything would be different for Jones given the numbers both have put up? My point is not to say that Lawrence is a bust or Jones is a future HOFer. It is not to say that either the Giants or the Jaguars have done right by either QB. Both organizations have done little to help their young QBs to this point. My point is it makes no sense to me that Lawrence can escape criticisms and threats of benchings for his performances due to the Jags front office, poor coaching and/or a lack of talent around him but a guy like Daniel Jones can't use an equally bad front office, equally bad coaching and equally poor talent around him over a longer period to excuse his poor performances.

They paid a bunch of money to bring in Zay Jones, Ridley, Engram, and Kirk. They've invested heavily in the draft on offensive line. Not saying he has a great supporting cast but if you're the #1 pick in the draft, you shouldn't need Justin Jefferson on your roster to look competent.
Coaching and front office deserve blame but he's also looked pretty bad reading defenses and being inaccurate on easy throws. |
