Daniel Jones’ time may arrive sooner rather than later for Giants

Let’s not put the kid in Canton just yet, OK? OK?

But boy oh boy, did Danny Boy turn those MetLife draft-party jeers to cheers in a hurry.

You saw the poise and you saw the accuracy and you saw the smarts and you saw the deep ball that has been lighting up the summer sky. You saw the swagger in his eyes and for the first time on game day why Dave Gettleman has staked his reputation and legacy on Daniel Jones.

It was merely a glimpse into what Gettleman and Giants fans hope and pray will be Life After Eli Manning, folly to put too much stock into one magical night, still too premature to bang the drums for Pat Shurmur to just give the kid the damn ball already.
