Daniel Jones giving Giants almost no chance to win with end finally in sight

There are so many debates and arguments and snide remarks that can go into all this, with the state of the Giants being what it is.It is almost impossible to hear what Brian Daboll said on Monday regarding Daniel Jones and come up with spirited and passionate rejoinders suggesting he is not seeing this clearly. “I think he gives us the best chance,’’ Daboll said. If you are so inclined, feel free to add, “Best chance to … what, exactly?’’ This was Daboll’s way of reiterating what he declared a day earlier, only minutes after Saquon Barkley had danced over, through and around his former team and the Jones-led offense — with Daboll calling all the plays — once again treated the end zone as if it were contaminated, a place to steer clear of at all costs.
