Giants at a crossroad with quarterback Daniel Jones.
As the New York Giants celebrate their 100 greatest players in franchise history, a flashback appeared for me as the great Eli Manning’s name was announced to thunderous applause by an otherwise disappointed and deflated Giants home crowd being subjected to yet another round of unacceptable football.
That year, Jones provided a glimmer of promise, throwing for over 3,000 yards, a feat he wouldn’t accomplish again until 2022, with 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Witness the debacle against the Vikings. Yes, the Giants' defense made Viking journeyman quarterback Sam Darnold look like a Pro Bowler. And yes, the offensive game strategy was a headscratcher. And yes, the five drops by the receivers shouldn’t be happening now.
Yesterday was Daniel Jones 20th career start with 0 TD passes on at least 13 pass attempts or more in a game, the most such games in the NFL since 2019.And it seems that the more Jones is out there, the worse he looks.
Gunner Olszewski has missed most of camp with a groin issue but was said to be trending in the right direction by head coach Brian Daboll. Yet as recently as last week, leading into the game, Olszewski still appeared to be laboring in his movement, if just slightly to where it wouldn’t have been surprising if the team held its breath in hopes that the receiver didn’t have a setback.
Maybe that’s what the Giants expected of Slayton, who ended up muffing the punt only to thankfully have it recovered by Dane Belton.
