Summary

Daniel Jones is on thin ice in New York for a good reason. Three seasons into his career, Jones has been one of the league's least productive starters. What's particularly troubling is the lack of growth, as Jones had a mildly encouraging rookie season (5.2% TD rate, 24 touchdowns) followed up by two terrible seasons. Among quarterbacks with at least 500 attempts over the last two seasons, Jones ranks 30th (out of 32) in touchdown rate (2.5%) and touchdown-to-INT ratio. Giants ownership hopes some of the blame lies with the departed coaching staff, and Brian Daboll's tutelage and system will unlock the potential they saw when drafting the former Duke Blue Devil sixth overall in 2019. The reality is the franchise isn't married to Jones, and he has a very short leash this year to re-work his way into the team's plans. He should be one of the last quarterbacks drafted, and only in 2QB/Superflex formats.

Coaching changes hurting Daniel Jones?

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones' progress has been hindered by multiple coaching changes, retired QB Eli Manning said of his former teammate. 'By my fifth year, I had been in the same offense the whole time, I knew it, I could coach it up, new guys are coming in, I was speaking the same language as my offensive coordinator and as [former head coach Tom] Coughlin, and kind of preaching the same stuff,' Manning said. 'And with [Jones], it's all new, and it's learning, and he's consistently trying to learn and learn and learn, and it just takes some time before it all sinks in.'

Daniel Jones receives high praise from teammate

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones is 'the hardest-working quarterback I've been around' and 'probably the smartest quarterback I have been around,' according to teammate Davis Webb. 'He has really good questions in meetings, takes really good notes, he's always looking to improve, weight room, practice field, meeting room, he's just all in, and it's fun to have a teammate like that. Cares that much and brings the most out of his teammates. He's a dang good football player. I think he's (going to) have his best year,' Webb told the New York Post.
