Quite difficult to take the second year quarterback jump in ordinary circumstances.

But this is the word of highly respected quarterback teachers Peyton and Eli Manning, Duke head coach David Cutcliffe: Daniel Jones’ second year leap will not be compromised by learning the new system under the new coaching staff, and it will not be compromised by a virtual offseason program.

“I think we will see a much better Daniel Jones,” Cutcliffe told The Post. “I think he will be a much better product than he was a year ago.”

Cutcliffe believes Jones will develop under the new Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.

“I know a little Jason. I think the world is him,” Cutcliffe said. “He will do work with Daniel. I think Jason and Daniel are similar, very intelligent, analytical people. I think they will be a good couple.

“I sat with Jason and [Tony] The previous priest, and spoke of football, and I saw his approach to coaching Tony Romo and the relationships they had. That’s why I made the assumption that I would see a similar relationship between Jason and Daniel. “

The young Quarterback franchise of the New York Football Giants, who was 23 on Wednesday, was pushed in the Manningesque manner.

“Believe me, he works 10 hours a day to master this himself,” Cutcliffe said. “I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone who is more excited. … He is every worker that Peyton and Eli are throughout their careers.

“I think he is really starting to understand what they expect or what they want to do offensively, and that will help him become successful in this transition.”

“He certainly knows what’s in front of him. I like the fact that he is very positive in conversations about the intensity of meetings with new staff, accountability. He felt very happy about it. “

Cutcliffe raved about Jones’s accuracy and resilience as a beginner, and sat in February with him for a comprehensive constructive-criticism review.

There are three main areas of improvement that need to be covered:

Ball security. Pocket movement. Arm angle.

Former Duke Quarterback Anthony Boone has worked diligently with Jones on issues that cause 18 fumbled and lost 11, and on pocket movements.

“Anthony Boone is a winning quarterback in the history of Duke football,” Cutcliffe said, “and Anthony is not 6-5. Anthony just has a good understanding of the game, a good understanding of fundamentals and mechanics, a great work ethic like Daniel. And so they really fit together.

“Pocket movements are different from pocket presence. Daniel’s presence was extraordinary. He was tough, he was brave, he kept staring down. But one of the things you must learn in your pocket is to stop moving away from what you are reacting to, and move more to what is safe in your pocket, move more to what you see. Don’t stay away from what you really don’t see, you know, a man on the edge. I think when you overreact to the edge pass rush which is what happens to it, a number of things will happen – one, you move to what you don’t see; the other is that sometimes you drop the ball, it’s just reflex. “

Cutcliffe teaches its quarterback alarm pre-snap read and post-snap.

“What is pocket movement is about one second max,” he said. “It’s very subtle, and sometimes the more athletic, the more they want to run away … The other is when you run the ball as a quarterback in the NFL, stop running like a back. Some of the mistakes are hit with a good run, or just overcome. “

Cutcliffe had impressed Jones that navigating the NFL’s hard pocket demanded what he called a strict stroke.

“It just makes the ball go up and down, keep it going, just tighten your movements a little,” Cutcliffe said. “You have to do it naturally, but everyone must do it. And he has done a very good job to do that. “

Jones has always embraced a leadership role at Duke and will be more comfortable stepping into that role more this season.

“I know in talking to Eli that Eli thinks Daniel is a very special person who cares about other people, cares about football,” Cutcliffe said. “It means a lot to me that Eli sees the same qualities. You are not a leader if you are not respected. And I think he has the respect of all his friends. “

I asked Cutcliffe about the awkward period at the start of the 2019 season, when Manning and Jones both acknowledged knowing that changes in the quarterback were on the horizon.

“It was very strange to me, it all hurts because it has such a close relationship with the two of them,” Cutcliffe. “I don’t think it’s surprising, Eli is not good, but amazing in the process, and Daniel respected Eli very much during the process. That may be as good as what has been done in this type of arrangement. “

Jones will not be disturbed following in the footsteps of giant Eli Manning.

“One of the things I like about Daniel, and I believe this is the best way to be a quarterback in such conditions – and Eli is the same thing – they never really care about what other people think about their work,” Cutcliffe said. “They are so focused on the quality of their own work that they don’t have time for that.”

If he is Danny Boy as a beginner, hope he becomes Danny Man in 2020. Maybe even Danny Mann someday.
