1. Wouldn't it be something if Daniel Jones ends the vikings postseason once more!

2. lions fan i was praying he came to Detroit. j.g goes down were done 😮

3. Sure are a lot of Giants fans on here trying to save face and missing the point that the Vikings got a basically free guy with NFL experience when they are down a guy in the QB room. For like $500k for the remainder of this season, the Vikings aren't expecting Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, just a guy that can complete a pass and maybe take off and run. Let the defense do the heavy lifting. Plus Jones will be throwing to Justin Jefferson. That alone makes him a better QB than he was in Jersey.

4. Where is all this media love coming from for Daniel jones???? When he was ours in NY he was the joke of the league along with the rest of the team. Now he’s gone and he’s beloved????

5. That's what a good agent does!

6. My god the NY media is so insane. His record is terrible. Let the vikings have him. Barkley is a different story – paying Jones over Barkley should cost the GM his job

7. This is hilarious.

   Daniel Jones & Kenny Pickett are essentially the same QB. And it's not good.

8. Daniel Jones is a good QB tough !!! Alot of times he was running for his life ..I was hoping miami would pick him up!!!..we have no back-up..you think they would learn something after again Tua got hurt!! GOD bless jones wish you great success! 👍

9. It’s driving me crazy how the national media and other fanbases ripped this guy to shreds from the moment he was drafted, and now that he’s off the Giants, everyone is acting like Giants treated him badly on his way out like people weren't laughing at the team for still keeping him on the roster. Why the sudden shift in narrative. Let’s not act like everyone didn’t think Jones was the drizzling shits for years. Now he's some untapped potential many people want to see "stick it" to the Giants?

10. Daniel Jones is terrible

11. I really would love to hear Jones' take on how the coaching, vibe, team, compares to the NYG. After a few weeks of course.

12. Because so many people seem to have forgotten, Daniel Jones beat a defensive coordinator who gave ALL QBs their best games of their careers. Daniel Jones has no more experience in the playoffs than Sam Darnold.

13. That vikes defense was last against the run and like 3rd worst against the throw. Signing daniel jones based on a game where he beat the vikes is weird

14. The Gigants are the new Browns, a factory of sadness

15. Jones is a safety net. Darnold is crushing on one year. He may jump ship on them and leave them w Jones and JJ. Or JJ could not be any good after the season off w his knee. Darnold could stay. Too many who knows. But they will lose one of them for sure.

16. The Vikes have a "mama I can fix him" mentality on free agents lol

17. Can he take Rodgers along with him.

18. 100k for not Nick Mullins as a backup makes sense. I'm not sold on Jones, but he is a better option than Mullins if Sammy D gets hurt. Especially on what is essentially pocket change for the Vikes.

19. nahhhh yo!! not a jones fan, but he is way better than dave brown

20. Rich you saw him in Germany. And you said it after the game. He's gun shy

21. It’s a “win for everybody “… except maybe Rypien…

22. Brian Flores Brian Flore Brian Flores!

23. Surprised Jones didn't take a deal from a more desperate team willing to pay more. Then again, Im just a casual football fan, so I was clearly missing some info

24. We have seen Mayfield, Geno and of course Darnold finally play well elsewhere. People forget as a rookie Daniel Jones had 24td/12int. His rookie year was better than Eli's first 5 years.

25. He can perform in these situations? Huh?
    If that was the case, he would still be a Giant.

26. "…get Sanchize outta the booth…" 🤣😂🤣

27. LOL! GIANTS are going to SOOOO REGRET THIS!! LOL!!!

28. Good sport for him… since they are gonna win the division.

29. Now the Vikings Odds to be in the Super Bowl just went to a Billion to 1 from a million to 1. 😂😂😂

30. Minnesota is a QB injury factory, so Daniel Jones will probably be starting in the playoffs.

31. Nick Mullens has literally played 3 plays this season. 2/3 were passes on 3rd and 15+ that went for first downs. Third play was a run. Dude literally couldn't have performed better despite being thrown into the toughest of scenarios and now is maybe losing his #2 spot 😂

32. Go ahead dudes, sign DJ, talk him up, and see if he's there when you really need him! Screw that dh sucks good luck 😂

33. Is Jones suddenly a good QB? Everyone forgetting there's 6 years of tape on this guy.

34. Yes, it is a win/win for everyone except for the Giants. The only downside is if Same Darnold who has looked like a top 10 QB in 9 out of 11 games goes through another multi game slump, there will be a lot of fans pushing for DJ, which coul upset the apple cart!

35. So were just going to pretend you and the entirety of sports media wasnt ripping this guy for a long time, especially this entire season?

36. The problem is the Vikings have 2 QBs better than him.

37. Danny Jones is a terrible quarterback, end of story. 6 seasons of mediocrity and prime time choking. He shouldn’t be getting covered this much.

38. Say whatever you want because you have to but DJ is 0.0 Are you kidding me bud? DJ sucks and has proved it the past 5 seasons!

39. Wow that took a long time. I thought it would be Vegas Baby. Oh he has a good "O" line.

40. As a Cowboys fan the thought of DJ playing great on a much better team as Barkley has would be hysterical

41. Crazy twist, daniel jones beats eagles in the playoffs

42. We just trying to get back to having the whitest qbs group of all time after losing Kirk 😂.

    We still need one more if we want to reach peak Kirko Chains. We need Will Levis now

43. Let me get this right. The Giants let the probably offensive MVP in Saquon Barkley go. They let the possible defensive MVP go too, and they do all of this to pay and keep Jones…who they also let go. The issue is the decision making right there.

44. QB is only position where they look at your potential and not whole body of work. He from Duke and he look like Josh Allen from a mile away, and thats why he get a pass. Tyrod Taylor everything outstanding school, gpa, the whole nine have to damn near perfect, and will bring to him a hypothetical just to get a raise.
