2. Can Daniel Jones stay consistent?

It was a surprisingly really good season for Jones in '22, as he had 15 touchdowns to just five interceptions. Him bringing down the turnovers was fantastic to see. The Giants were so impressed by his 2022 Season, they rewarded him with a four-year, $160 million deal. Many thought that Jones got paid way too much and many question if he can stay consistent and play like he did last fall.

Before last season, Jones had 23 turnovers during his rookie season in 2019, followed by 16 in 2020 and 10 in 2021. And in 2022, he had just eight. With his new deal and all of the new playmakers around him like Darren Waller, Parris Campbell and Jalin Hyatt, things could line up to be great for him. However, there's an unreal amount of pressure on him to deliver.

While Jones looked well in his limited preseason action going 8-of-9 for 69 yards and a score along with a good training camp, can that translate into the regular season? If you can recall, in the Giants Divisional Round game against the Philadelphia Eagles last season, Jones looked awful.

While the entire team pretty much fell flat, Jones looked lost - he was just 15-of-27 with 137 yards and an interception. Jones was electric vs. the Vikes the week before, but he struggled vs. Philly. He needs to be consistent from start to finish in '23 for the G-Men to be even better this year.
