Giants can’t afford for Daniel Jones to fumble this moment

It is pass-fail now for Daniel Jones.

When a franchise moves heaven and earth for the express purpose of giving its franchise quarterback everything he needs to succeed, then it is on that franchise quarterback to stand up and deliver. Jones, blessed as he is with the Eli Manning temperament, offered no excuses during his sophomore slump: not for the Week 2 loss of Saquon Barkley, or the overall absence of quality protestors and playmakers, or the new offense coordinated by Jason Garrett that was not as friendly as advertised, or the hamstring injury that kept him from being a dual threat.
