They saw Daniel Jones, they were around him. They had him for a year and they trusted that, 'Hey, this is a kid that has a bunch of upside.' He's still in the first year of the offense, played extremely well. He can run, he's tough. He can make the throws. Just unfortunately, this was a tough year with injuries.
Jones, whom former Giants GM Dave Gettleman selected at No. 6 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft, had the best year of his career in 2022 under first-year head coach Brian Daboll as the Giants made a surprising run to the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs.
And so, I think you still got to trust your quarterback. He's going to come back, he's going to be healthy. He works hard. He's a great teammate. He does all the intangible things really, really well, and I think they got to trust him, can put some guys, get help around them and continue to grow with these teams. I think when you sign your key guys to contracts, Saquon [Barkley], Dexter Lawrence, Daniel ... you put these guys, you keep adding guys around them and you don't just say, hey, switch it up right away because you have one bad year.
