Title: Daniel Jones makes the players to root for list

Considering Jones is guaranteed to make $36 million this season, I realize the man doesn't need my sympathy. I still have some for him, though. Fed-up Giants fans might not want to hear it, but Dimes doesn't seem to catch many breaks on the field. The offensive lines protecting him (or not) were ranked 30th or lower by PFF in each of the last four years.

So, yes, it's not a surprise he's had injury issues. Now he's entering a season that could be his last with New York if he doesn't play much better, following an offseason in which the Giants tried to replace him via the draft. They did give Jones the most talented receiver he's ever had on his team, picking Malik Nabers sixth overall. But will it be too little too late? Perhaps. It would be fun — and unexpected — to see Jones silence the critics. No one deserves to have a career defined by the one play where you run 80 yards and then fall over without being touched.
