New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones began this season as a hot topic of the media talking heads. Many defended the Giants’ decision to sign him to a $160 million extension while others scoffed, saying Jones wasn’t worth the money.
Thus far this season, the Giants offense and Jones have fallen flat on their faces. They are next to last in points scored and dead last in yards gained.
Buy Giants TicketsTwo Hall of Fame players-turned-analysts, Kurt Warner and Shannon Sharpe, both took to social media to weigh in on Jones and the Giants’ troubles this season.
I don’t think Daniel Jones is a good qb, but when his offensive line is worse at pass blocking than he is at quarterbacking. You get a match made in hell. IF* Jones can finish the season upright behind that OL. That might be worth 40 mil alone #NFLSunday #Dolphins #Giants

Watching @Giants game & you can say what you want about #DanielJones but these last two weeks the way they have played upfront is awful, you can’t play QB like this… he has no chance to succeed & hard to evaluate his play with what’s going on around him!

Jones has been sacked 28 times so far this season, one short of Washington’s Sam Howell (29), who leads the league.
The Giants, meanwhile, have the lowest-graded pass protection (30.4) in the NFL by a somewhat large margin. And two of their linemen graded out at 0.0 in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins.
