Ex-New York Giants star Chris Canty ain’t jumping off the Daniel Jones hype train just yet … telling TMZ Sports he still thinks DJ’s the future of the G-Men!!
“My man, Danny Dimes, is going to be all right!!” Canty says.
Daniel looked pretty whatever since his electric debut against the Buccaneers earlier this year … and against the Cowboys on “Monday Night Football,” his three turnovers cost his team a chance at a win.

But, when we got Canty out in NYC on Tuesday morning … he told us he’s still riding with the rookie QB, saying, “I think he’s the next franchise quarterback for Big Blue.”
Of course, there are a lot of people who are starting to doubt that … Jones is just 1-5 since his 1st start in Tampa Bay — and, overall, he’s got 9 fumbles and 8 interceptions in just 7 starts.
Daniel himself has admitted he needs to play better … saying after the Giants’ 37-18 loss to the Cowboys, “Anytime you turn the ball over, it’s costly to the team, so I gotta work on that.”
As for Canty, he says Daniel will fix the issues … telling us straight-up, “He’s going to be all right!”
