Has Daniel Jones proved that he’s capable of leading the Giants? NYGiants | TogetherBlue
Is there any quarterback in the NFL who has done more with less than Daniel Jones of the New York Giants?
There aren’t many quarterbacks working with the cast of characters as bad as what Jones has around him. Yet somehow, the Giants need just one more win to clinch a playoff spot this year, in no small part thanks to Jones’ performance in his fourth year under center in New York. He’s built up quite a case for himself to stick around after his rookie contract expires at season’s end.
Just how bad have things really been for Jones? To start with, let’s just look past the last three years full of coaching turmoil and inconsistency on the sideline and in the front office and focus just on this year’s team. First, the Kenny Golladay signing in early 2021 just continues toeach week. Through 16 weeks of the season, he has as many drops as he has receptions, with four each.
That has left Jones and the Giants with a starting receiving trio of Darius Slayton, who was very much on the roster bubble in training camp; Richie James, a former seventh-round pick with serious dropping issues; and Isaiah Hodgins, who the teamclaimed off waivers in early November. Unsurprisingly, that’s led to their receiving leader being running back Saquon Barkley, with 55 catches for 343 yards this season. And we don’t have to start on the state of the offensive line.
Despite all of that, Jones has won more games this year than he ever had in a single season in his career, is second in the NFL in game-winning drives, and has the Giants one win away from looking up a playoff spot at 8-6-1 through 16 weeks. The quarterback doesn’t getof the credit—Barkley’s reemergence has helped shoulder some of the load of the offense—but he deserves a lot of it. The issues with turnovers, whether they’re fumbles or interceptions, have dried up this year.
