Which New York QB Faces More Pressure This Season: Sam Darnold or Daniel Jones?

It's no secret that playing quarterback in the Big Apple is one of the highest-profile gigs in the National Football League. Players such as Eli Manning and Joe Namath have parlayed success in New York into endorsement deals and stardom.

To date, the Jets' Sam Darnold and the Giants' Daniel Jones have avoided feeling the full brunt of New York-style criticism.
