Daniel Jones and Giants Stink it Up in Loss to Niners

 49ers 36 - Giants 9 

The San Francisco 49ers had every excuse on Sunday to not play well. They were missing about nine starters, including their starting quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, and their best pass rusher, Nick Bosa, and still found a way to dominate the New York Giants. 

What was the Giants excuse? Saquon Barkley? Give me a break! 

The Giants had no excuses, and played like a team that had never touched a football field before as the Niners did whatever they wanted to on Sunday. 

Daniel Jones did not play well, in fact one has to wonder whether he is indeed fit to be the starting quarterback of this football team. Jones turned it over twice on Sunday, including on the Giants first drive of the day that led to a Niners field goal.  

 Just before halftime, Jones tossed another interception, his fourth of the year that set up another Niners field goal to make it 16-6. 

Jones has now turned it over seven times through the first three games of the year. His issues holding onto the football and taking sacks is quiet alarming for a football team that wants to believe they have a franchise quarterback in the former Duke star. 

One has to wonder if the losing continues, which it likely will, especially with the Rams and Cowboys on the schedule, if the Giants aren't better off thinking about going after another quarterback in next April's draft. 

Why be so hard on Jones? Well, because he was outplayed by Nick Mullens for 343 yards. Mullens is a back-up quarterback. If the 49ers lost with him, considering all the issues they have, there would be an excuse. There are none for Jones and the Giants. 

If the heat was already on Sam Darnold in this city, it should certainly be turned on Daniel Jones now.
