word is they are resting players tomorrow.....good, barkley taking a week off hopefully pays off for him...he could use a recharge
back to DJ....
His reg season ends HEALTHY - finally - i'm pleasantly surprised - most games played for him, most hits for sure
ends the season(as of today) with 22 TDs 8 TOs 3900 passing and rushing yards --- 9th in the NFL in QBR and completion % - career highs
oh and as of today he is 9th in NFL in rushing 1st downs among QBs AND RBs with 57, barkley is 6th with 62 1st downs (yes only 5 less first downs than our pro bowl RB)
below avg Oline - among worst if not worst pass catcher group in entire NFL - is he a pro bowl caliber QB? no hes about avg(PFF ranks him as of today higher than Cousins and Goff) - but do think hes about 5 TDs away from being a pro bowl caliber QB - def can see him taking it to that pro bowl or near it level with some actual talent around him(7-8/10 guys currently can easily be replaced)
Are you aware counting last season in college - 4 of the last 5 seasons Daniel Jones had to know/lead 4 different offensive systems - thats not normal - looking forward to year 2 in this system with HOPEFULLY an above avg receiver or 2. heck, how about a WR thats just as good as the #2 WRs on philly, bengals, dolphins, seahawks??? Maybe we can trade our #1, 2, 3 WRs and throw in our TE for their #2???? lmao -
I fully expect our top 3 WRs get replaced and wouldnt be surprised if our starting TE gets bumped down to #2 - hodgins could be in battle for #3 - i'm willing to bet $ Slayton and James won't be on NFL roster week 1
2% chance DJ is not back in 23 - only way I see it happening is they see a vet they gotta have - my fear its Brady - doubt hes back with Bucs in 23 - can def see him trying to get here with some talent following him for one last run.
AND
if you look at Josh Allen's stats before DIGGS got there....only area that he beats DJ is TDs by 7 (This GIANTS team is actually scoring 2 more points per game than that 19 bills team)(that 2019 bills team had D that allowed the 2nd best PPG allowed) - now Josh is a 40 TD a year guy.....no I dont think DJ gets to that level(but who knows!) i'll take 30s and clutch
AND
Eli Manning 2007 reg season - 24 TDs 27 TOs(at the TIME NO ONE would have ranked him a top 20 QB) - steps up his game in playoffs and plays like a pro bowl caliber player....what happens to Eli next season? during reg season much better player - pro bowl player in fact - but plax(12-1) shoots himself and that all went down the drain(end up losing 4/5)....
to be continued.....
