New York Giants news for Wednesday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
“The team needs to grow up,” outside linebacker Brian Burns said.
Do you detect growing friction between Daboll and Daniel Jones? There is no doubt there is growing frustration. Jones has never reacted so vehemently on the field as he did after the botched two-point conversion try with the Giants trailing 23-15 early in the fourth quarter. On this occasion, Jones was on it and his teammates were not and the play was blown up before it ever had a chance. It sure feels as if Jones knows his days as the starting quarterback are dwindling and that he can read the writing on the wall that he will be elsewhere in 2025. Daboll goes out of his way to defend Jones and not put all the blame on him and that almost feels as if he is overdoing it.
Despite this being Year 3 in this offense and having more to work with (Nabers) than ever before, Jones appears to have regressed. His arm strength is nothing like early in his career. He routinely misses deep throws. Even his long shot to Slayton on the game’s first possession (a 43-yard gain) is likely a touchdown if he gets it out more. You pair that with the inaccuracies and poor decisions that have plagued his career and you get a deadbeat quarterback this team is going nowhere with.
Pittsburgh was forward in no other sense than the calendar. The Giants are stuck in reverse as long as they keep trotting Jones out as their signal caller.
A change is long overdue.
