Daniel Jones has once again become the center of attention, though this time, for reasons that go beyond his performance on the field.

The quarterback, now shining with the Indianapolis Colts, shared his thoughts following the recent dismissal of Brian Daboll, former head coach of the New York Giants, after a disappointing start to the season.

The impact of Daboll firing and Jaxson Dart’situation

The Giants, holding a 2-8 record, decided to part ways with Daboll after their loss to the Chicago Bears.

Daniel Jones, who played under Daboll before being released by New York, acknowledged the complexity of the situation.

“Yes, I heard about it recently. Obviously, no one wants to see anyone get fired. It’s an unfortunate part of this business. I wish him and everyone in New York the best,” he said.

The firing comes amid controversy surrounding the handling of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who has suffered multiple concussions this season.

The NFL fined Daboll $100,000 for violating concussion protocols, and Daniel Jones pointed out that these decisions compromised Dart’s protection and performance. Increasing pressure on the coaching staff and management.
