USAT: Giants Wire

When the New York Giants hired Joe Schoen as their next general manager, one thing became immediately evident: He was a fan of quarterback Daniel Jones. - “I’ve looked at Daniel and you know, once the new staff gets in here — offensive coordinator, head coach, entire staff — dive into the film as a group and look at what Daniel does best. We’re going to allow him to put his best foot forward,” Schoen said. - “I’ve looked at him and you know, I wasn’t here in the past, I don’t know what he was told what to do, but I do know this: he’s a great kid, he’s been in the building the last two days I’ve talked to him. There’s not a person who’s said a bad word about his work ethic, passion (or) desire to win. You got to have those traits as a quarterback. The kid has physical abilities. Arm strength, he’s athletic, he can run. So I’m really excited to work with Daniel. When the new staff gets in here, we’ll build an offense around Daniel to accentuate what he does best.” - Schoen has repeatedly doubled-down on that stance and as fate would have it, that vision is apparently shared in lockstep by newly hired head coach Brian Daboll. - - I heard mid-week this that Daboll absolutely loves Daniel Jones—makes sense now. Good for him-good for DJ.
