While reflecting on the Daniel Jones era at the New York Giants, owner John Mara noted the striking similarities between Jones and former quarterback Eli Manning. This resemblance poses a risk, as the organization might inadvertently seek a quarterback who fits the 'Manning mold' instead of focusing on relevant attributes such as arm strength and mobility. As the Giants look for their future franchise quarterback, the emphasis should be on specific skills rather than simply mimicking past successes.
When I first sat down with Daniel, it was eerie to me how similar ... it was [to] talking to a 22-year-old Eli, which is a good thing.
The No. 1 trap that the Giants cannot fall into in their search to draft the next franchise quarterback is subconsciously trying to fit... into the Manning Mold.
