I don't follow the NYG but looked into his history there. Jones was Gettleman's baby but Gman retired.

I see no sufficient upside in Bryce worthy of more investment of time or resources, and am not restricted by fandom in my thinking regarding options. There will be a few of them and Jones could be one. 

They turned down the 5th year option and he had the 2022 season and no more. BUT, he played well and they went to the playoffs. And won a game. He set a record adding 70 yards rushing to his pass totals of 300+ yards and 2TDs (sounds like a record that Cam would have held).

They sucked it up and paid him and only got like 4-5 games from him and eventually it was torn ACL halfway through the season. Those can be two year injuries as far as getting all the way back, and he is just now about a year removed.

I'd keep an eye on him at least, he was showing enough to get a new deal. Wherever he goes it will be prove it, and his last prove it worked out pretty well.

I finally heard some insight into this. 

Basically devito is under contract for the next 2-3 years and lock is not in their 2025 plans.

 

Brian daboll agreed with others about giving Jones the big bag. Maras want a 49er correction ala brock purdy made the trey lance mistake lesser of a hit. Daboll has the remaining season to fight for his job and they want it done with a control asset.

IDK about that narrative. If you want the coach to fight for his job, why saddle him with a QB he doesn't presumably want?

I am doubtful that this has much to do with ownership.

I still think we are going to pick up Drew Lock next year. He has connections to Canales and Evero (If Evero don't get dumped for Saleh).

Why on earth DeVito is starting over Lock is beyond me. 

DeVito will put butts in the seats for one thing. He is a local boy made good. Where are they playing? If at home I would start there.

He did okay last year and they may want to see what he looks like, as well as Lock who may yet get some play. Who knows....

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      By strato · Posted

      I think you know. Apparently winning is secondary to Bryce’s development. Same as it has been.     In a way it may be good because we didn’t need to make the playoffs and extend this fuging charade about Bryce being the guy. Better in the long run if he gets enough rope to hang himself with.

      Dave Canales is not the problem. He just isn't

      I know DC is overthinking this and he really needs to be OC or HC, but how do you call plays with a QB that in all reality, shouldn't be starting. Bryce is wildly inconsistent. He should lean on Rico and the run game, but if he does and wins, it presents a false narrative that Bryce is better than he is and he's potentially stuck with him for another season. If he doesn't, he looks incompetent as a play caller, but it exposes the ugly side of his QB situation that he really does need a QB that can execute at minimum a basic NFL offense with some decent consistency.  I feel a little sorry for the guy because he was anchored with Young this season and even more weight with Dalton getting a 2 year deal. He has very little to work with at the most important position on his team and it's not his doing. The trade deadline was approaching and it was plainly obvious we needed to do something but we didn't for whatever reason.  I don't think he's a complete bonehead and don't know what he's supposed to do. Win games and potentially keep Bryce or lose them by putting the weight on Bryce's shoulders. Either he succeeds or fails.  As a coach I know you're supposed to play to win the game, but do you win now at the ultimate long term detriment to your team and locker room?
