New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones struggled so badly in Week 1 that even an opposing participant even felt sorry for him.
Jones and the Giants put collectively an uninspiring efficiency of their 28-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The previous first-round decide went 22-of-42 for 186 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. Boos rained down pretty early as issues received away from the house crew.
Throughout an interview with KFAN’s “Energy Journey Morning Present” on Tuesday, Vikings linebacker Jonathan Greenard mentioned he truly felt sorry for Jones.
“We heard the boos and we had been like, ‘Okay now we’re good on our facet.’ When it received actually loud to the place it was as loud as it will be on third down in the event that they had been on protection, it was type of dangerous,” Greenard mentioned, via SNY’s John Flanigan. “We type of began to really feel a little bit dangerous for him as we’re nonetheless simply utterly simply taking away every thing that he needs to do, so it’s good to be on the opposite facet of it and it’s our job to not be on that facet of it.”
The very last thing the Giants needed to listen to is that an opponent felt sympathy for his or her quarterback through the first sport of the season. Additionally they didn’t need head coach Brian Daboll to already face questions on benching Jones, however that happened as well.
Jones was all the time going to get one other likelihood to start out in 2024, as he’s owed $35.5 million this season as a part of the four-year, $160 million extension he signed previous to the 2023 season. However the shocking stat that went viral after Week 1 exhibits how horribly that contract has labored out to date.
If Jones continues to play like he did in opposition to Minnesota, it received’t be lengthy earlier than Daboll is pressured to provide Drew Lock a shot.
