Giants' Daboll hopes to give Jones stability: 'It takes a lot to raise a quarterback'

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll praised Daniel Jones during his introductory press conference Monday.

"He's got the right mindset, he's got good size, there's a lot of things to like about Daniel," Daboll said, according to SNY. "And we'll just take it one day at a time. We’ll work with him, we'll help him get better, we'll help him be a better leader, we'll help him be everything."

Daboll is set to be Jones' third head coach since being drafted by the Giants in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The quarterback's also worked with numerous play-callers - Mike Shula, Jason Garrett, and Freddie Kitchens all served as offensive coordinators in recent years.

"It takes a lot to raise a quarterback, if you will," Daboll added. "He's been around the block here these last three years with some different pieces. We're going to try to give him some stability and just take it from there."

The new Giants head coach spent the last four seasons as the Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator, drawing praise for his role in developing star quarterback Josh Allen. However, Daboll shut down any comparisons between Jones and the Bills quarterback.

"We're not going to make any predictions. I wouldn't do that to Daniel - or really any player. I don't think that's fair to compare him to another guy I was working with," he added.

Jones was limited to just 11 games in the 2021 campaign as a neck injury left him sidelined for the final six weeks. He struggled with consistency when on the field, throwing for 10 touchdowns to seven interceptions and winning just four starts.
