Rookie Daniel Jones wowed the New York Giants and their fans in his short debut . It’s seemingly only a matter of time before people call for the kid to replace two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning at quarterback. Oh wait. They are ALREADY anointing him the Starter!
Jones hit all five of his passes and capped his only series with a pinpoint 12-yard touchdown pass to Bennie Fowler in leading the Giants to a 31-22 victory over the Jets on last Thursday night in a preseason game suspended for 59 minutes in the first quarter when lightning and heavy rain rolled into the Meadowlands area. Mind you, this was the FIRST preseason game, and he only played 1 set of downs. While I believe Jones is the future at QB for the Giants, let’s not proclaim him the game one starter because of 5 plays. Oh by the way, the Jets 2nd team D was on the field. Giants coach Pat Shurmur said in a press conference when asked about the possibility of Jones starting against the Cowboys. "Slow your roll," "This is just his first go-around." I couldn’t agree more.

Giants must be over 500 after 8 games for ELI to hold the job ....just my opinion...

Eli still has something left in the tank, if not,the new era begins with Jones. 8-8 would be a miracle.

WhatWhatever strikes you as interesting, absurd, ridiculous, funny or serious about all sports, then this is the place to hear my slant on it. My focus will be mainly on the New York area, but anything going on in sports anywhere is fair game.
