This is the way it was one year later, as far as Daniel Jones’ understanding of Brian Daboll’s offensive system:

“You’re not going through Day 1 cadence in the quarterback meeting room or maybe some installation of some basic plays,’’ Daboll said earlier in the week.

“You have a good feel for what the quarterback feels comfortable with, and now it’s adding new wrinkles here and there are things that you study in the offseason. But the language and the terminology, you know, he has that down.’’

Jones has that down.

At this time last year, Jones was handed an all-new playbook, and he needed to start at chapter one, page one, paragraph one.

The challenge was daunting.

Jones embarked on his Giants career tasked with learning Pat Shurmur’s offense.

Two years later, he was given the offense new coordinator Jason Garrett brought with him from all his years with the Cowboys.

Two years later, it was Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka presenting Jones with yet another new system to study and master.

“Last year at this time, you are trying to learn everything for the first time,’’ Jones said. “There’s a lot of information, a lot of early memorization, the basic information of the system and kind of learning the alphabet, learning the first step.

“This year, obviously, we’ve got a little bit of a jump start there, knowing the system, but you’re always learning and you’re always adapting, seeing what’s new, helping the newer guys learn. In some sense you start over again and you don’t want to overlook anything or skip any of those critical steps to start out.’’

Amid the familiarity there is also plenty new for Jones.

A year ago, he was miffed that new general manager Joe Schoen decided to not pick up the fifth-year option on the quarterback, whom the GM inherited from the previous regime.

The pressure was squarely on Jones: Get comfortable with the new offense, stay healthy, prove you can win games, and convince Schoen and Daboll that you deserve to stay as the centerpiece quarterback.

Jones did it all sufficiently enough for Schoen and Daboll, who in time were convinced they wanted to move forward with Jones as the face of the franchise.

Jones turns 26 on May 27, and he is set for the foreseeable future with a four-year, $160 million contract — a deal many around the NFL view as excessive, but the Giants believe is just right.

This will be another adjustment for Jones.

He got paid and has more job security than any player on the roster.

He knows what he knows, and it is his responsibility to impart that knowledge to the newcomers — tight end Darren Waller, and receivers Parris Campbell and Jamison Crowder.

Last year, Jones was learning along with everyone else.

Now he is part of the teaching apparatus.

Jones, subjected to so much change and instability his first four years with the Giants, was an interested outside observer when Kafka seemingly interviewed for every head-coaching vacancy in the league.

He ended up meeting with the Texans, Panthers, Colts and Cardinals. Shea Tierney, the Giants’ quarterbacks coach, interviewed with the Buccaneers for their offensive coordinator opening.

Kafka and Tierney did not land new positions and have returned for Year 2 with Jones and the Giants.

“I think that’s huge, both those guys coming back, and for all of us, being in this system for a second year and being able to kind of take the next step in a lot of things we’ve done,’’ Jones said. “You know we won’t look past anything or try to skip steps, but just knowing where we are and continuing to learn, continuing to evolve with the same foundation and a lot of the same people in place. It definitely gives us a little bit of a head start.’’

Jones does not yet have all the answers to the upcoming tests.

Daboll constantly adapts, tweaks and adds to his offense, and Jones has to follow along.

Consider this more akin to graduate work for Jones.

He already has command of the basics, and now it is more a case of fine-tuning and making sure those around him are all on the same page.

“You jump into some other things, maybe some technique things, maybe in new plays, maybe some things you saw when you really broke it down at the end of the season and the past few weeks of, ‘Hey, let’s take a look and make sure we understand the why behind this play a little bit better,’ ” Daboll said. “But he’s done a good job. He’s a consistent person. I’m glad we have him.’’
