The New York Giants announced on Tuesday morning that rookie Daniel Jones has been named the team’s starting quarterback.
The sixth pick in this year’s draft, Jones was a three-year starter at Duke and was immediately seen as the Giants’ next starter – it was just a matter of when he took over, not if.
With the caveat that it was the preseason, Jones did play well during August. He completed 29-of-34 passes (85.3 percent) for 416 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.
He got mop-up duty in the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys and went 3-for-4 for 17 yards. He picked up 5 yards on a keeper on third-and-4 but was stripped of the ball.
This likely signals the end of Eli Manning’s tenure as the franchise’s starter. After an 0-2 start to this season, the Giants were an even 116-116-0 during the regular season with Manning as their starter.
The No. 1 overall pick in 2004, Manning and New York were 8-4 in his six playoff appearances, with two Super Bowl titles. All eight postseason wins were in those two championship-winning seasons; otherwise, Manning was 0-4 in the postseason.
