East Rutherford, N.J. -- It’s the same response every time the New York Giants have been asked about quarterback Daniel Jones’ performance this season. It’s a primarily encouraging endorsement with a noteworthy disclaimer.
“Daniel’s done a good job operating our offense,” coach Brian Daboll said recently, “and doing the things we’ve asked him to do.”
It’s the things they’ve asked him to do that raise questions about just how much trust exists between Daboll, offensive coordinator Mike Kafka and Jones. The Giants have a bottom-five passing attack and the fifth-fewest pass attempts in the NFL this season.
