Finally, the Giants’ patience was over. They have released their quarterback, Daniel Jones. It was expected as the results this year have been far below expectations. And after the news broke out in the league, there have been mixed reactions. Though most of the fans and players sympathized with the quarterback, some have called it the right decision.
On the November 22 episode of Fox Sports Radio, Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington discussed Daniel Jones’s future in the NFL. Parker revealed he was a big believer that the Giants didn’t have any other option than firing him. While talking about Jones, he said, “Daniel Jones is a bad NFL quarterback. There’s no other way to describe him. The giants made a mistake.” The mistake he referred to here is that the Giants released Saquon Barkley and signed a contract with Jones in 2023.
But what started later in the discussion was the bashing of the head coach, Brian Daboll. Parker pointed out that the HC always claimed himself to be a quarterback whisperer and took credit for reviving Bills’ Josh Allen. But that didn’t happen at the Giants. In 2022, Daboll arrived at the franchise. After working for 3 seasons, it’s the same situation.

“He could not fix Daniel Jones. so I don’t know he might have to take Quarterback Whisperer off of his resume cuz it didn’t work,” said Parker while criticizing the coach. Earlier, Barkley also attacked the coach, blaming him for slowing down QB’s performance.
Though the coach and the locker room could find faults with each other, the remaining 31 teams are being careful.

What’s your perspective on:
Did the Giants make a colossal mistake by choosing Daniel Jones over Saquon Barkley in 2023?
Have an interesting take?
“They gave him 6 years, they gave his whole chance, so Daniel Jones got more than enough.” All in all, both analysts weren’t apologetic or had any soft spots for the quarterback. Parker later warned 31 NFL teams to not sign the quarterback. He claimed that Jones had enough time at the Giants to prove himself, but couldn’t. That’s right.
This was his 6th season with the franchise. Only one year, in 2022, he had more wins than losses. In 69 games that he started, Daniel Jones has won 24, lost 44, and drawn 1 matchup. That reveals the story. But they also agreed that he could be perfectly fine as a third-string or backup quarterback. Will he accept it? It might happen.
