General manager Dave Gettleman stated the obvious this summer when he said this would be an important season for Daniel Jones. The Giants brass hasn’t wavered in its belief that the player it took with the sixth pick in the 2019 draft has the makings of a franchise quarterback. But there was an expectation that Jones would erase all doubts about that belief during his third season.
Midway through this critical year, Jones has not provided a definitive answer.
The story went on to talk about where Jones ranks in the NFL in various stats, and it's not pretty. In the story, co-owner John Mara said this offseason that he wouldn’t measure Jones by “any specific benchmarks other than let’s win some more games.” The Giants are 3-6 and Jones has an 11-24 career record as a starter. The good news is the offense seems to be getting healthy, so Jones still has time to make his mark, and a case to be the team's future starter.
