If Daniel Jones can help cure what ailed the Giants in their season-opening flop, by all means, get him on the field, and not merely in run-out-the-clock mode. Get him up to speed and get him out there at the start, hoping his young legs and athleticism can help with the tepid pass rush and the terrible pass coverage.
Unless Jones can do something to improve a defense that went from worrisome to frightening with one sorry performance, he is exactly where he needs to be. That is, on the sideline, waiting his turn.
Quarterback is the most important individual position in team sports and having one, versus searching for one, is the NFL’s most definitive line of demarcation.
