Why the New York Giants made a mistake starting Daniel Jones against Arizona

From a naked eye perspective, New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones didn’t do nearly enough to help his team win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon. Falling 26-7, the Giants’ offense sputtered to get anything going, finishing the game with 145 passing yards and 78 rushing yards.

Jones was unable to spark the offense, despite dealing with a hamstring injury that severely limited his mobility. After the contest, Jones even admitted that he was hobbled by his hamstring, failing to pick up even a single yard with his legs against Arizona.

It was clear that offensive coordinator Jason Garrett did not feel comfortable utilizing him in his normal way, activating RPO’s and flushing him out of the pocket.
