Gettleman won’t know if he was right until we see what kind of quarterback Jones develops into. What kind of quarterback Dwayne Haskins, Drew Lock, Sam Darnold or any of the other young guys the Giants didn’t select the past two years turn into. We won’t know until we’re down the road a ways, the Giants are Jones’ team and we know whether or not he is leading a good team or a bad one.Everyone can argue — civilly Daniel Jones Jersey Boys , I would hope — about whether or not the Giants did the right thing. All I know for certain is that quarterback is the most important position in football and if you have a good one you have a much better chance of having a good team. Last Thursday, Gettleman took the swing at finding a quarterback of the future that the fan base has been begging for for some time now. Today, we have no idea if he chose the right guy. In time, the results will reveal the answer. Until then, everything else is just noise.Gettleman also went a little deeper with King in explaining his decision to pass on Kentucky edge rusher Josh Allen than he had with New York media over the weekend.This is why I wrote Sunday that Gettleman made the right decision. Whether other teams would have taken Jones before the Giants’ pick at 17 isn’t the point. I’m also not saying I’m sure the Giants’ evaluation of Jones is correct. I don’t know and I refuse to try and substitute my evaluation for that of people who have made a living evaluating talent and building rosters for 30 years or more. We’ll find out.Where I agree with Gettleman is that quarterback is the most important and most impactful position on a football team. When you are convinced you have found the right guy you do what you have to in order to make sure you get him.Eli 2.0Jones is often referred to as ‘Eli Manning 2.0.’ For what it’s worth, go look at the side-by-side photos and the accompanying background chart comparing Manning and Jones. Eerie. Really eerie.By the way, I’m asking the following question of those of you who really hate the idea of Jones as a Giant. What would really be so awful if Jones actually did turn out to be Manning 2.0? Two Super Bowl titles Color Rush George Asafo-Adjei Jersey , 15 healthy seasons where he plays every week, more good football than bad. A borderline Hall of Fame career. I think any Giants fan would sign up for that. One of the reasons the Eagles decided not to franchise Nick Foles and to let him walk in free agency was that they were confident he was going to leave the division.Eagles owner Jeffrely Lurie said he and General Manager Howie Roseman were initially concerned he might stay in the NFC East with New York or Washington, but eventually they became confident that the Jaguars were going to be the team to sign Foles, and that made them feel better about letting him walk.“Certainly, Howie and I had long discussions about it,” Lurie said, via NBC Sports Philadelphia. “We thought the sooner we do it Youth George Asafo-Adjei Jersey , the better because we wanted to give Nick every opportunity to be in the best possible situation and not have a team worry that we were potentially going to keep him and not have the opportunity to start, because there aren’t that many opportunities. We were also, to be honest about it, hoping that he would not end up with the Giants or the Redskins. That was part of it. We were very confident he was going to play for Jacksonville.”Lurie said Foles, the Super Bowl LII MVP, will be “part of our family forever.” Especially since he won’t play against them twice a year.
