Objective football fans are well aware of the struggles New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has had to endure over his first two professional seasons.

The Giants have done little to protect him up front, his star running back has been injured in back-to-back seasons, his Pro Bowl tight end is among the most inconsistent players in football and his receivers… Well, between injuries, drops and limited separation, let’s just say they’ve been lacking a bit.

There are some out there who simply refuse to acknowledge the offensive shortcomings and prefer saddling Jones with the entirety of the blame, but reality just doesn’t meet that line of thinking. The film doesn’t show it, the statistics don’t show and the analytics certainly don’t show it.

On Saturday, Pro Football Focus revealed that Jones had the 19th-most pass attempts in the NFL last season and the seventh-most incompletions that were deemed “receiver fault” with 36.

Considering Jones had 168 incompletions a season ago, that means his receivers were at fault for a whopping 21.42% of them.

Compounding that problem? Jones is one of the best deep ball passers in the NFL but his receivers were regularly beaten on contested catches, hauling in just 41% of them — 26th-worst in the NFL.

Another number to strengthen the point that Giants receivers weren’t doing a great job of helping out their quarterback was that they combined to bring down just 41% of their contested catches on the season, a figure that ranked 26th out of 32 offenses across the league.

Giants’ receivers also had the lowest YAC (yards after catch) per completion in the league.

The addition of Kenny Golladay, who is a contested catch machine, should go a long way in helping Jones, but the offense is going to need much more than that. Evan Engram must find a level of consistency and the remaining receivers need to both stay healthy and up their game considerably.

Up front, the offensive line must also improve dramatically. Jones was sacked 45 times a season ago and faced some of the most pressure in football. That’s not a recipe for success and there’s no quarterback in the league who could thrive under those conditions.
