What happened to the Daniel Jones who drove the New York Giants' offense into the ground over the last two seasons? One of the most frustrating players in recent Giants history has suddenly become even more frustrating as he revives his career with his new team.
The quarterback has led the Indianapolis Colts to a 3-0 start, looking far more competent than he ever did in New York. He's become one of the biggest talking points in the league, somehow finding a new way to drive Big Blue fans insane.
But the feat he just accomplished might be the most horrifying part of this nightmarish bounceback.
Daniel Jones continues to shine away from Giants with historic performance
Jones just made NFL history for all the right reasons. Yes, that is a real sentence. He's the only player in the Super Bowl era with three passing touchdowns, three rushing touchdowns, and no turnovers in the first three games of a season.
Danny Dimes is going down in history for anything positive away from New York might just be enough to put Giants fans over the edge.
But the feat is just another reminder of what Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll could never figure out about their former quarterback: he needs a complete supporting cast to thrive.
The veteran's situation in Indianapolis couldn't be any more different from what it was in New York. He has a deep, balanced group of pass catchers with complementary skill sets. He has a proven offensive line capable of giving him time to work through his reads. The Colts even have one of the top running backs in the league.
The G-Men gave him pieces of a supporting cast in his six years with the team, but never the whole puzzle. He had an elite running back in Saquon Barkley, but inadequate receivers. Then, New York gave him an elite receiver in Malik Nabers, but the offensive line couldn't give him time to throw.
Whether by misused draft picks or confusing decisions in free agency, Schoen and Daboll never gave Jones the support he needed to be successful. Of course, plenty of the blame still lies with the quarterback himself. Outside of the lone good season that tricked the G-Men into giving him a contract extension, he never operated as well as he should have.
But this historic run with the Colts is proof that the quarterback is capable of leading a good offense if he has enough support around him.
