Keith: Daniel Jones is gone, but should Brian Daboll be trusted to develop Jones' successor?
Daniel Jones has been bumped all the way down from starter to third-string quarterback, but Keith McPherson says nobody should shed a tear for a player who earned a massive contract off of one playoff win, and had plenty of chances to prove himself since.
“The Daniel Jones era is done. It took long enough,” Keith said. “It only took $108.1 million and 70 games…Daniel Jones bagged over $108 million in 70 games of work for the Giants. He’s the 35th highest-paid quarterback in NFL history?
“Don’t cry for Daniel Jones. I would cry for Giants fans.”
Now, with Jones out, Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen will likely get their chance to draft their own quarterback and try to replicate what they did in Buffalo with Josh Allen. But Keith warns that Daboll may have not had the impact on Allen as many believe, especially while Allen enjoys what could be the best season of his career, years since Daboll left for the Giants.
“We look at Brian Daboll as this quarterback whisperer,” Keith said. “I wanted to give him credit for Josh Allen coming out of Wyoming and becoming Josh Allen. Josh Allen is Josh Allen. It doesn’t matter if it’s Ken Dorsey calling plays. The version you’re seeing of Josh Allen right now might be the best version of him, even without Stefon Diggs. I think we give way too much credit to Daboll for what Josh Allen became.
“How could Schoen and Daboll be so confident?”
