My Take
Daniel Jones is one of the more polarizing quarterbacks of his draft class, but I think he gets unfairly judged. His 2022 season, when he protected the ball and used his legs to lead the Giants to a playoff win, showed the dual-threat ceiling people forget he has. Saddled with shaky offensive lines and constant roster churn, he rarely got a fair shake in New York. He is mobile, smart, and tougher than critics admit. Whether he ultimately becomes a long-term starter elsewhere, I am rooting for him to prove the doubters wrong.
Overview
