Daniel Jones Getting Praised For 'Showing Emotion' In Year 6 Of Being An Awful QB Is Why He's The Most Coddled Athlete In Sports

Okay, I lied about not getting pissed off about the Giants. This all pissed me off one more time. It also made me realize that Daniel Jones is the most coddled athlete we've ever seen. This isn't a young quarterback, this isn't someone developing and hoping he can live up to hype. This is a man in his sixth year, who has had chance after chance and excuse after excuse. What happened to the New York media that was supposed to be so mean and eat people up? We're praising him for showing emotion? If that's the case then every Giants fan would be an elite quarterback. 

It's not all his fault. It's not his fault that people tricked the Giants into drafting him at 6 for no reason at all. It's not his fault the Giants were tricked again to getting a contract instead of the franchise tag. It is his fault that he sucks at doing his job. That's completely fair. I don't know why people refuse to say it. We're out of excuses. It went from no line to no weapons to injury to being young and now we're still all here. He's still throwing hospital balls on the sideline because he waits too long. He's still turning the ball over because he stares down his one and only read. He still can barely throw the ball longer than 20 yards in the air. 

Quarterbacks are talked about all the time because it's arguably the most important position in professional sports. You don't have a quarterback, you're fucked. Yet here we are with people pretending like Jones is taking some sort of leap or signs of improvement. Look at those numbers! Take out wins/losses as a stat, fine, whatever. How many times has Daniel Jones had the ball with a chance to tie or win and turn it over? How many bad mistakes does he make? Why can't people just say he sucks instead of coddling him with things like great emotion. It's professional football, stop making excuses for a guy who belongs on the bench.
