Is Daniel Jones good (or at least above average) now? I honestly don’t follow outside of clickbait memes like this.
In a recently ranked 32 starting QB's Daniel Jones ranks 18th. After 4 seasons the NY Giants failed to pick up his Rookie contract option to begin the season and so he will be a free agent at the end of this season.

Many of the smart talking heads who know a lot when it comes to NFL QB's are quick to dismiss Jones as a Saquon Barkley handoff robot who does just enough to get the NY Giants to a managed 5-1 record. So ranking "being good" is always relative to your peers and their perspective and opinions. But I'd say if you can start for an NFL team you must be pretty damn good.
