Former New York Giants quarterback and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Kurt Warner, knows a few things on how to be successful in the NFL. He also knows that success does not come overnight.
That’s his warning to Giant fans when it comes to second-year quarterback Daniel Jones. Warner believes Jones has the tools to be a top passer in the league but still has some hurdles to clear before he can do that.
“His ability to see the field and process information,” Warner told NJ Advance Media when asked the area Jones must show the most improvement in. “There were a lot of times, it seemed like it was tough for him to see, process information, and react to it. That’s what you see with a lot of young quarterbacks. It’s really hard to practice that. That’s where he needs to make the biggest strides.”
Jones was responsible for 23 turnovers in 2019, throwing 12 interceptions on top of 11 lost fumbles in 13 games, 12 as a starter. Warner said there was enough good to outweigh the bad and put a positive spin on Jones’ rookie season.
“I liked a lot of what Daniel did,” Warner said. “He had a lot of ups and downs. He had some moments where you got really excited, and as much of anything, you hope you see games or moments where you go ‘ahh, I think this guy’s got it, that was definitely the right pick,’ and we definitely saw that with Daniel Jones.”
