Pat Shurmur’s Giants survival hinges on Daniel Jones test

When Pat Shurmur pleads his case to ownership, assuming there is a case to plead, he will be asked for his plan for Daniel Jones once the Huggies are removed on Eli Manning’s rookie successor.

Because more than anyone, it is Jones who carries Shurmur’s future in his hands.

And on a day that began with snow coating the field with a white blanket and ended with three Jones interceptions and an eighth straight defeat that leaves the Giants one shy of the franchise record set in 1976, Shurmur’s grip on his job became more tenuous, at least in the eyes of a disillusioned, disenchanted, disgusted fan base that allowed euphoric cheeseheads chanting “Go Pack Go” to turn the home stadium into LambeauLife.
