Jayden Daniels should give Giants a case of quarterback envy
NY Post
Brian Daboll will try to keep from gazing dreamily at Jayden Daniels on Sunday, but it will be difficult for him.
Daboll will be like everyone else who cannot take his eyes off Jayden Daniels.
Daniels, the second-overall pick in the 2024 draft, is the electrifying rookie franchise quarterback phenom who has changed everything for his franchise.
There is a lot to like about Daniel Jones. He is smart, tough and dependable, and has been from Day 1. He says and does all the right things in the eye of the relentless New York storm, and he shows up every game day as the best version of Daniel Jones.
But Daboll and disgruntled-again Giants fans at MetLife Stadium will look at Jayden Daniels leading the first-place Commanders and be stricken with franchise-quarterback envy.
Because Giants fans will be the first to tell you that Daniel Jones, in the midst of his sixth season as Eli Manning’s successor, has not changed everything for the Giants.
