NFL: New York Giants at Washington Football Team Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

Good morning, New York Giants fans!

Why Rex Ryan thinks Daniel Jones will thrive under Brian Daboll — ‘even if nothing changes’ around him on Giants’ offense

“That’s a tremendous coach,” Ryan, the Jets’ coach from 2009-14, said of Daboll. “A guy with a great work ethic, but a great f---ing dude. I really like Brian, and I think he’s going to do a great job.

“I’m excited to see him — and I know he said don’t compare Daniel Jones to Josh Allen. But I’m not kidding you: I know for a fact Brian Daboll really likes Daniel Jones. And I do, too. He’s an athlete. He’s got the physical skill set you look for. And he’s got the mental makeup. So I think the kid is going to do well with Brian.”

Daniel Jones comes in at No. 24.

Jones had the poor man’s version of Lamar Jackson’s season. He played way better than his numbers showed in a difficult situation for five weeks. Then he succumbed to his surroundings, the apparent progress boomeranged and he ended the season hurt. Jones’ neck injury is a concern, but he’s under contract for cheap in 2022. The Giants’ moribund offense after his departure helped show his worth. The team has much bigger problems, although Jones would have trade value if a new regime wanted to get creative.
