Daniel Jones may not be beloved by the Giants faithful, but New York’s ownership appears to have the back of the team’s former No. 6 overall pick.
“People are realizing it’s by far the most important position in sports and either you have one or you don’t,” Giants co-owner John Mara told the New York Post. “We think we have one.”

Mara’s comments certainly got their share of reaction across social media.
“*Know we have one,” a die-hard Giants fan replied.

“How do you go through the process of hiring a new general manager and head coach but stick with Daniel Jones as your starting quarterback?” asked Mike Gwizdala. “Delusional.”

“Yes, Dave Gettleman was a huge problem,” admitted another user. “Fortunately, he’s gone. The real issue has always been the owner.”

“The Giants will constantly repeat they think Jones is the Guy, but fans will try their hardest to twist it & say other wise,” a New York said. “Mara, Schoen, Daboll see something in Jones a lot you don’t & it’s ok. The LG is much higher on DJ as player than fans but it is rightly so.”

“Who watched Daniel Jones throw for 20 TDs in 2 seasons and thought franchise QB and how can they be so stupid?”

Mara and the Giants brass seem dead set on making Daniel Jones work in New York. This upcoming season will be telling about his future with the franchise.
