Darius Slayton Defends Daniel Jones Amid Criticism
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has come to the defense of quarterback Daniel Jones amid ongoing criticism following a joint practice with the New York Jets. Slayton argues that the negativity surrounding Jones has created a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' narrative, as any decision he makes—whether to check down or attempt deep throws—faces scrutiny. He emphasized that the Jets defense played deep, forcing Jones to opt for shorter passes, and claimed that if Jones had thrown into coverage, he would have faced even harsher backlash. Slayton believes that the media's focus on the Giants has led to a double standard, comparing Jones unfavorably to quarterbacks like Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert, who receive less criticism. With Jones's job potentially on the line this season, Slayton's support highlights the pressure faced by the quarterback as the Giants aim for a better performance after last season's struggles. Coach Brian Daboll also pointed out the importance of balancing deep threats with sustaining drives in the offense.
