The New York Giants head coach likes what he sees from Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, but is focused on the team rather than the player.
Jayden Daniels's NFL debut wasn't all that spectacular, but neither were any of the other rookie quarterbacks, and one could even make the case that he performed the best out of the bunch. Even with a solid rookie debut, Daniels and the Washington Commanders failed to score enough to keep their Week 1 score close with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ultimately losing the contest 37-20.
The Giants had a tough offseason losing Saquon Barkley and have decided to continue rolling out Daniel Jones as their quarterback. All of the decisions by the Giants have come to bite them in the rear end and that couldn't have been any more glaring than the outcome of their season opener, losing to Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings in blowout fashion 28-6.
"I think he's a good football player. He's athletic. He's dynamic with the ball in his hands, whether it's a passer or a runner. But again, this is more about the Washington offense in general. They played a good Tampa Bay team. Tampa Bay played well. He's a rookie quarterback that definitely did some good things that you saw from college on tape.
Giants' head coach Brian Daboll continued to talk about Daniels' debut but quickly switched gears to notating that football is the ultimate team game and that their focus would be strictly on the Washington Commanders and not just their quarterback."Looks like a good football player to me. Again, I'm sure there's plays he would like to have back just like all of us, but I think he's a good football player. I think he's a good quarterback.
