Does Daniel Jones still make sense on the Giants?

With the 2021 NFL Season entering its final stretch, many teams are beginning to see the Playoffs landscape far away. One of them is the New York Giants, who see how another season has disappeared without having made the expected leap in quality. It is largely due to the inconsistency that his QB Daniel Jones has shown in recent years. Therefore, it is inevitable to question whether or not Jones should continue to be the face of this franchise.

Does Daniel Jones still make sense on the Giants?

Planning in New York for this season included the addition of multiple players in free agency. One of the most prominent was WR Kenny Golladay, who would raise the level of the offense of these Giants, however, due to injury issues, or COVID-19 protocols, Golladay could do little this year. Another addition to the roster was TE Kyle Rudolph, who would also have to contribute to the evolution of the offensive system, but has not fully lived up to expectations.

To the above, it clearly doesn’t help that Daniel Jones’ stats this season are only 232 of 361 completions (64.3% effective) for 2,428 total yards, 10 touchdowns, 7 interceptions and an average of 6.7 yards per shot attempt. happens. As can be seen, he is still a long way from what the Giants expected of him in 2021, his third year as a professional.

However, these actions must take into account the injuries and casualties that the team has suffered during the course of the campaign. Not only have they not been able to be constant on offense, but personally they also cannot be complete due to the aforementioned issues, and this undoubtedly affects the performance of a Jones who this season has had games where he has been seen well and without so many mistakes.

I would give Jones one more year at the helm of this offense so I can evaluate his performance with healthier personnel. Additionally, the generation of quarterbacks entering the 2022 NFL Draft is not currently judged as dazzling or talented. While they might take a new prospect and develop it, this is not a guarantee of success or synonymous with that it will work. In Jones, at least the Giants already have someone with experience in the league and can surround him with as much talent as possible to limit his mistakes next season.

Could Daniel Jones perform better with a healthy roster? Will the Giants fall into despair and risk taking a rookie in the next draft? We read you in the comments below this article and on our social networks.
