The sober reasons Daniel Jones cannot start for the New York Giants right now

No, there isn’t any quarterback controversy for the New York Giants. It’s the statement that head coach Pat Shurmur is frustratedly repeating what seems like each week.

Regardless of rookie Daniel Jones‘s play this preseason—the great ball placement, professional poise in the pocket and smart decision making—this is Eli Manning‘s team and it’ll remain that way until the decision is made to alter the direction of an entire organization.

However, that decision won’t be made right now, and it won’t be made prior to the team’s Week 1 matchup against the Cowboys in Dallas.
