The latter.

I was going to say that’s pretty remarkable, really it just means Trevor is Taysom minus the rushing ability.

[LL!]

Would be great if we didn't need to run the defense out there after just 30 seconds of offense over and over and over. 

[Adam]

Taysom Hill should maybe stick to Running Back.

I'm sure Sean Payton is going to love seeing that footage of himself already looking mad and then right behind him is Chase Hansen playing with a long saliva string coming out of his mouth.

Someone on r/NFL ran the numbers and since Russell Wilson got Mallet Finger his numbers have been incredibly similar to…Ryan Mallet

I love a good etymology story. 

[gunnar hendershow]

We called him Crab Mallett during his time with the Ravens.

Former Houston Texans starter Ryan Mallet, I'll have you know!

So on Wednesday, some guy tweeted out that his carpenter was friends with one of the Mara's sons, and he'd heard that Daniel Jones was hurt and out for the season, but the team is not going to announce him as such since they're technically still in a playoff race for the mediocre 7th seed, and that they would just label him "week to week" but he wouldn't play.  Sounded like any other totally baseless thing that would wind up on Twitter.

Later that day, it was announced that Jones was not practicing due to a neck strain, and that the team had signed Jake Fromm off the Bills practice squad to the active roster.

Yesterday, Jones appeared to practice and gave off a vibe in his press conference that he thought he'd be able to play.

Only for it to be announced today that he's not cleared to make any live contact, he is ruled out for Sunday with Mike Glennon starting.  And when reporters asked Judge if this could be a season-ending injury, rather than immediately refute the concerns, he just said it was "too soon to tell" and he didn't sound very optimistic.

So yeah, some Twitter random may have actually broken a story the Giants allowed to leak.

Sounds like they should sign a QB that's a New Orleans native with two Superbowls, and just as many working middle fingers:

 

[GhostMachine]

I give that idea two middle fing....I mean thumbs.....up.

[Lineker]

 

[JasonM]

That's quite the ambiguous statement, maybe he'll suit up as fullback next year!

[gunnar hendershow]

It sure feels like his final game will be against the Ravens in Baltimore. Maybe they go on a run to make the playoffs. Unlikely though.

Next year, he'll either be retired.....or the Giants' next starting QB.
