Daniel Jones wont have Giants job for long if he cant get ball to Malik Nabers

Malik Nabers will never go all Keyshawn Johnson on the Giants and say it, so we will.Throw him the damn ball.Wherever Nabers is on the field when the Giants play the Commanders Sunday in Maryland, the rookie receiver should be Daniel Jones’ first look.As you may have heard, there’s been a lot of hand-wringing in and around the Giants about the starting quarterback.And rightfully so given Jones’ poor performance in the season-opening 28-6 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.Jones’ lack of accuracy and his indecisiveness have led to rapid and rampant speculation that he’s playing for his starting job Sunday.

No one will admit to it — least of all Jones — but he looked like a quarterback who’s lost his confidence.Another sagging performance similar to the one he delivered against the Sam Darnold Vikings at MetLife Stadium and head coach Brian Daboll may have no choice but to bench Jones.Because no team can win in the NFL with the quarterback play the Giants got from Jones.Yes, football is an “11-man game,’’ as the coaches will constantly remind you, but there’s one man on the Giants — other than Jones — who can save Jones’ job right now.That man is Nabers.The sixth-overall pick, who caught five passes for 66 yards on seven targets in his NFL debut, is unquestionably the most dynamic, dangerous offensive weapon on their roster.The seven targets Nabers got Sunday hardly suggested that he was being frozen out.But that number may need to be doubled if the Giants are going to avoid falling to 0-2 and Jones is going to survive to play Week 3 in Cleveland.There’s a slight rub here: Nabers turned up on the injury report late Thursday afternoon with knee soreness and was a “limited’’ participant in practice.The report came out after reporters had a chance to speak to Nabers when he said practice “went great,’’ adding, “I got to move around a lot.

It was a good day.’’According to team sources, Nabers’ knee soreness isn’t anything...
