That has allowed Jones’ critics to resurface and attack, which they’ve done in spades over the past several days. The latest is FOX Sports radio host Colin Cowherd, who believes the Giants are a quarterback away from being Super Bowl contenders.

Sure, the final score was closer Thursday night, 20-15, than it was either of the times these two teams matched up last year, but as Giants coach Brian Daboll preached progress after the game — he’s now 0-5 against the Cowboys, while the Giants have lost 14 of 15 to Dallas — it was hard to put a lot of stock in that message.

Former New York Giants running back turned WFAN talk show host Tiki Barber likes current Giants quarterback Daniel Jones as a person. However, as a quarterback, Barber believes that when it comes time to step up and when it really matters, Jones falls short of the mark.
