Down Fall of Daniel Jones and the New York Giants

 

Written by Carmine Tuosto of Swish Tribune

In 2022 the Giants had a great year with a 9-7 record which were high expectations for them because in 2021 they were 4-13. Daniel Jones had a big leap from 2021 to 2022. From 2428 yards 10 Touchdowns and 7 Interceptions to 3205 yards 15 Touchdowns and 5 Interceptions which was the one of the lowest amongst Quarterbacks and defense went from allowing 24 points to 21.


In 2023, almost midway through the season they are 2-8 and arguably the worst team in the league. It all started in the first few games, mostly on the O line. Andrew Thomas and rookie John Micheal Schmitz. The first 4 games the Giants started out 1-3 and went to play the dolphins and Daniel Jones got injured towards the end of the game.


Tyrod Taylor took over as the Quarterback but couldn't get the job done. Tyrod Taylor was playing solid and with a close game to the Jets but suffered a rib injury and the undrafted free agent Tommy DeVito from Syracuse took over. He showed that he couldn't be a starter for the giants and made history for the fewest passing yards in NFL history. The week after Daniell Jones against the Raiders he tore his ACL and Tommy DeVito is named starting quarterback


Here's what Giants Legend Eli Manning had to say on his injury: “He’s going to come back, he’s going to be healthy,” Manning said. “He works hard. He’s a great teammate. He does all the intangible things really, really well, and I think they got to trust him, can put some guys, get help around them and continue to grow with these teams. I think when you sign your key guys to contracts, Saquon, Dexter Lawrence, Daniel. You put these guys, you keep adding guys around them and you don’t just say, hey, switch it up right away because you have one bad year.” 


I agree with Eli. You can just trade a Quarterback because of a bad year. We saw how much potential Daniel Jones can have when he has a pretty healthy offensive line and receiving core during the playoffs. We should give him one more year and that's when the giants should make the decision to replace him or not. 


The Giants right now have the second pick in the NFL draft and will most likely get the first. They should take WR Marvin Harrison jr who is the best receiver in this draft with 59 receptions 1063 yards and 12 Touchdowns this season. 


I'm looking past this crazy and surprising season and can't wait to see what next season brings to the table.

ACC & Big 12 Approves new CFP Revenue Model

 Are They ACCtually in Trouble? Sage Rubin, Swish Tribune Despite moving to 12 teams, the College Football Playoff is set to move to 14 teams in the coming years. However, this time, there is a twist: Both the SEC and the Big Ten conferences are set to take 58% of the generated revenue, while the ACC and Big 12 are set to take 32% of the revenue, leaving Notre Dame and the G5 to take the other 10% of revenue. While this may seem like a no-brainer for the ACC and Big 12 as this ensures at least a somewhat large share of the pie in a world where we are beginning to see two power conferences emerge… this was a much more dangerous decision on the ACC’s end and here’s why. FSU and the ACC are currently in a lengthy legal battle involving FSU trying to set themselves up for an exit from the ACC, citing that the conference has hampered their ability to compete with the competition. The most prominent example of this was the controversial College Football Playoff Selection Show that aired ...

My Knicks Trade Deadline Wishlist

Image
Written By: Spencer Teman, of Swish Tribune The NBA Trade Deadline is just days away and many teams are in need of making a move including the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been one of the hottest teams of late, being 9-1 in their last 10 games, but they are not anywhere near perfect as a roster just yet.  The Knicks already made one of the biggest trades in the NBA this season when they acquired OG Anunoby from Toronto, but their next move needs to be centered around acquiring another shooter that can play valuable minutes off the bench.  Once the Knicks are fully healthy again, they have a tremendous starting lineup, but ever since they traded away RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, and also with multiple injuries, their depth has been tested. The only way you can be successful as a team in the NBA is to be able to knock down 3's at a highly consistent rate.  The perfect guy that comes to mind for the Knicks, who fits Tom Thibodeau's wishlist, is Bruce Brown. Bruce Br...
