Daniel Jones and the Giants move forward together despite decisively meager evidence that Jones can succeed in the job.
“Yes, we do,” he said.
The Jones File is pockmarked with reasons why this will not work out. He is 12-25 as a starter — 4-7 last season before missing the final six games with a neck injury. Jones in his three-year career has 45 touchdown passes, 29 interceptions and 28 lost fumbles. “We still have a lot of confidence in Daniel and think he’s going to be a very good quarterback if we just put the right pieces around him and give him a little bit more continuity and stability,” Mara said. “He hasn’t had that since he’s been here. Let’s give him a chance to prove himself. He’s shown flashes of it, for sure.
The Giants hired Brian Daboll and he will be Jones’ third head coach in four years. This will be the third new offense Jones will need to learn. Major issues along the offensive line, injuries for running back Saquon Barkley and various wide receivers left the Giants severely shorthanded when it came to supplying Jones with much in the way of support.“You tell me what quarterback could have thrived over these last couple years with what we had out there on offense?” Mara said.
