Is Daniel Jones worth the big payday?

When it comes to Daniel Jones, the New York Giants find themselves in an interesting situation. Finally, their quarterback played up to, if not better than, expectations in 2022. When we look back and compare from last year to this year, Jones performance was nothing short of impressive. In 2021, he was denied the fifth-year option and was forced to play in a prove-it year. So that is exactly what he did.

Under new head coach Brian Daboll, he went from a 84.8  quarterback rating in 2021 to 92.5 in 2022. He also landed himself into the top ten conversations in a few areas. Among quarterbacks who had at least 350 dropbacks, he led the league with the fewest of interceptions, five. He was tied for fifth in pass completion percentage index with 112, and sixth in completion percentage, 66.7%. When throwing from play action, he had the second highest rating (103.3) in the league with the highest-pressure rate 43.9%, per Sports Info Solutions.
