If Daniel Jones had any fans left in New York, they’re probably in hiding right now — someone should go check on them, seriously. It’s only Week 2, and somehow, against all odds, the man Giants fans couldn’t get rid of fast enough is suddenly the poster child of the league's most efficient offense. The Colts are 2-0, haven’t punted all season, and Danny Dimes looks like the franchise QB New York spent six years trying to convince themselves he wasn’t.

Meanwhile, Big Blue is 0-2. Again. They just lost their ninth straight to the Cowboys. Again. And while the energy was a little better in their 40-37 overtime loss, they’re still winless. Nothing about any of this makes sense. We're in a completely backwards universe.
Jones left the Meadowlands in flames. His final stretch in Giants blue was brutal. Now he’s out there completing 71% of his passes, leading scoring drives on ten straight possessions, and pulling out walk-off wins against playoff contenders like it’s nothing. It’s the kind of turnaround that should come with a handwritten apology. Or at least a refund.
Daniel Jones’ hot Colts start is an absolute slap in the face to Giants fans
The numbers are bad enough on their own. Jones threw for 316 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 and added a rushing score. He’s now up to 588 passing yards on the season, with five total touchdowns and zero turnovers. It’s getting personal.
Sure, maybe Indianapolis head coach Shane Steichen has figured him out. And yes, maybe having Jonathan Taylor, an offensive line, and actual receivers helps. But Giants fans watched (newly nicknamed) Indiana Jones trip over the turf monster for six years. They watched him scramble into sacks, overthrow open receivers, and turn the ball over at alarming rates. It's literally night and day, and I'm completely lost. I've been outfoxed.
This isn't even about missing the 28-year-old. That ship has sailed. It’s about watching him instantly become everything he wasn’t the second he left. It’s watching him look like a functioning quarterback on a functioning offense while the G-Men are out here handing out 160-yard penalty days and watching the same offensive problems get in the way time and again. It’s really just cruel at this point.
If he keeps this up, Daniel Jones is going to make it impossible not to ask the question no Giants fan ever wanted to revisit: was it ever really him... or was it always New York? If his unprecedented play has you in an existential bind, you're not alone — it's literally getting to the point where an emotional support group might be the only answer to cope with what's happening. Because it's nuts.
