New York Giants: Is it possible Pat Shurmur uses Daniel Jones in the red zone?

The New York Giants could take their offense in a unique direction in 2019 with a bit of creativity, centered around rookie passer Daniel Jones and his athleticism.

Eli Manning, one of the NFL’s most tenured quarterbacks, had a very interesting 2018 season in the red zone, especially inside 10 yards. He ranked as the 9th best passer in regards to touchdown passes 10 yards or less from the end zone, but had a significantly lower completion percentage than the quarterbacks ranked around him.

This statistical indicates that Manning scored more on third down than on first or second, which attests to an increase in incompletions.
