Head coach Brian Daboll on Giants’ latest blowout loss: ‘I’d be upset too if I was a fan’

The Giants paid Jones $40 million annually and have seen a negative return thus far. It’s fair to point out that the blocking has been atrocious and that few could navigate having to make plays with .025 seconds to think. Yet, even when Jones did have time on Monday, he rarely hit his target, fled from some clean pockets out of fear anticipation, and his three turnovers were of the ghastly variety.

“I mean obviously I didn’t play well enough,” Jones said. “It was unacceptable and I let the team down, so I’ve got to fix it. I’ve got to work hard to get it right and I’m going to do that.”

$40 million quarterbacks are supposed to raise the boats around them, not sink alongside the dead weight. Through four weeks, out of 34 qualified QBs in the NFL, Jones ranks 26th in pass yards per game (191.3), 33rd in passer rating (69.7), 33rd in times sacked (22), and 34th in TD-INT ratio (2-6).

Monday night’s early fumble harkened back to Jones’ early-career fumbling issues, and his pick-six, which killed any thought of a comeback, was a piss-poor decision and throw.

“My play wasn’t good enough. I know that, and that’s what I’m focused on,” Jones reiterated.
