TAMPA, Fla. — There is nothing quite like this moment in the life of an NFL franchise.

The mix of emotions is exhilarating. There is hope. There is anticipation. And yes, there is fear – fear that for all the trust placed in this move, it will end in disappointment.

This is the moment for Daniel Jones.

For Giants fans.

And for a Giants’ organization that needs to find its way back to playoff respectability.

This moment came much sooner than anyone could have reasonably expected, especially after the assurances given Eli Manning that he would be given ample opportunity to try and shape the offense.
