During his introductory press conference on Wednesday, incoming New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen cleared up a major question that many fans and pundits wanted an answer to: What is his assessment of fourth year quarterback Daniel Jones? - For some fans, the answer will not be satisfactory. For others, they will be thrilled. - - Schoen says the Giants will allow Daniel Jones to put his best foot forward. Says he's a great kid with a great work ethic and a desire to win. - Praises his on-field ability. Says he's excited to work with DJ and adds team will "build around" him. - — TheGiantsWire (@TheGiantsWire) January 26, 2022 - - - “I know he’s a great kid. I’ve talked to him, the kid has physical ability,” Schoen said of Jones. - That is an indication that Jones’ upside may have been part of the reason he took the job. Certainly not the only one, but enough of one. - And co-owner John Mara? He’s on board with Schoen’s thinking on DJ. - “We do feel Daniel can play. We’ve done everything possible to screw this kid up,” Mara said following the press conference. - Schoen also told reporters that he and the new coaching staff will be doing a deep dive on Jones via film and determine what he does best and where he needs to improve. - Jones’ fifth-year option is due this spring and that determination will have to come soon. If Schoen is locked into Jones, it will make his job of rebuilding this team a lot easier. - - List - - Giants' Joe Schoen holds introductory press conference: 17 takeaways - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
