One game, a Game for the Rages, has the vultures circling over Daniel Jones, smelling the blood of Dead Quarterback Walking.
Only Brian Daboll knows whether he is, or when he soon will be, but if this is the last stand for Jones, he must get off the mat, and get off the mat now, and play with no fear Sunday against the Commanders, and let it rip like there is no tomorrow. , and when the coach senses that his quarterback is playing scared, he will coach scared of his quarterback, and that is always a recipe for disaster.
There is no question it would behoove Jones to author a statement game to at least grant him a stay of execution if he, indeed, would need one, because another Game for the Rages would render his leash that much shorter than it may be now. New York Giants Head Coach Brian Daboll speaking to New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones #8, during practice at the New York Giants training facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Friday.
And if he can’t, because of the escape hatch on Jones’s contract after this season, someone else will be driving the 2025 Giants. Remind us why we showed you the money in the expectation that you would be an ascending quarterback after your 2022 playoff win in Minnesota. Daboll is intent on an explosive vertical attack, and Jones showed up against the Vikings resembling a backup in survival mode.
The last thing Jones needs to be thinking about is the rookie quarterback he is facing, Jayden Daniels, was the apple of Daboll’s “Hard Knocks” eyes. New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones warms up during practice at the Quest Diagnostics center, Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2024, in East Rutherford, New Jersey.Jones would be better off reminiscing about his five-TD game five years ago in a 51-45 win at what is now Northwest Stadium.
