The New York Giants are looking to turn around their franchise in 2024. Six of their last seven seasons have resulted in a losing record. Daniel Jones was given a massive four-year contract that runs through the 2026 season.
That contract has come under scrutiny at times given analysts opinion that Jones can’t be “that guy” in New York. However, Giants head coach Brian Daboll had some things to say about his quarterback.
New York Jets HC Brian Daboll Makes Head Scratching Remark About Daniel Jones
Brian Daboll stood by his quarterback in a Zoom interview on August 18. Following a review of Jones’ full performance against the Texans, he felt good overall about Jones’ progress:
“I thought there was two plays that we’d like to have back, but I thought he played fast,” Daboll said via Giants.com. “It’s different when you’re out there in practice. This was good for him to get out there and get some live reps with the rush, the ability to get hit, he had that (12-yard) scramble. But I’d say he operated well in the pocket.”
He added, “Obviously, the backup play (Pitre’s touchdown), we’ve talked about that one, we’d all like to have that one back. The interception, it’s a one-on-one throw down the sideline to Hyatt.
So, you got to do a good job of saving some space and going up there and giving them opportunity. Then if the ball’s up there, we got to go up there and get it. So, I thought he made a lot of good decisions as the game went on, made some nice throws and guys created some separation and a couple of drops. But first time out there after a long layoff, live ball, it was good for him.”
Many fans not only thought that Daboll’s comments about Jones’ were wrong, but that Jones showed he isn’t the guy anymore for New York:
