Just because you aren’t Josh Allen, just because your new head coach wants you to be the best possible version of yourself, doesn’t mean that you won’t reach out and call Josh Allen.

“Yeah, I think I would,” Daniel Jones told The Post. “Going forward I plan to try to get in touch with him.”

Jones’ new head coach is Brian Daboll, who, as the Bills’ offensive coordinator, was instrumental in developing Allen into an elite quarterback. Jones has good reason to pick his brain.

“I think just kind of general stuff on how they made it work so well. … How he went about building that relationship, and how he learned best and just made it work,” Jones said.

It is unrealistic for anyone around the Giants, Daboll included, to expect Jones to magically become Allen.

Daboll, co-owner John Mara and new general manager Joe Schoen believe in whatever Jones can be. And that’s good enough for him.

“Obviously Josh is a great player, he’s done a lot of great things in this league, and fun guy to watch, and a guy who’s had a lot of success,” Jones said.

“But my goal is not to be him, or try to emulate him. I understand I got my own skill-set, my own game, so I’ll try to be the be the best version of that, be the best version of myself. Coach Daboll has said that to me, and I think that’s what he expects. I look forward to learning from Coach, and obviously there’s a lot of things he was able to teach Josh, and I’ll look forward to learning from that, and try to be the best player I can be.”

Daboll, authentic and genuine, has made a smashing first impression on everyone.

“I like him,” Jones said. “I’ve enjoyed meeting him, and hearing his thoughts, and obviously his reputation across the league is a very good one. He’s had success where he’s been. I’m excited to work with him, he seems like a really good guy, a guy who’s easy to talk to, and someone who just wants to win, someone who wants to get the most out of his players.”

As Jones enters his fourth season, Daboll is his third head coach, and his fourth offensive coordinator is on his way.

But Jones’ belief in himself had not been shaken.

“I think my confidence is at a good spot,” he said. “I believe strongly in my ability to play this position at this level and at a high level. Obviously you’re always gonna work to improve, and work on your weaknesses and continue building strengths.

“We haven’t won as many games as we need to, as we all expected to, and that’s what we’re all thinking about, that’s what we’re all focused on. But you can’t let it affect your confidence or your belief in you as a player.

“And I’m not gonna do that.”

Jones was at the Giants’ facility when Daboll drove through the snowstorm to meet him.

“We had spoken the night before, so just preparing some thoughts and some of the stuff that we had talked about then,” Jones said.

The new coach, who may or may not be the new play-caller, wasted no time soliciting feedback from his quarterback.

“Some plays I was comfortable with, plays I liked that I’ve run in my career,” Jones said. “A lot of coaches want to get an idea, especially when they’re getting to know players, what kind of stuff they like to run, what they’re comfortable running, what they’re good at. I think that’s important. When you talk about a lot of that stuff, most of it’s plays that every team has, and every system has, the verbiage will obviously be different and stuff like that. He knows those plays, he recognizes those plays, he has those plays in his system. I think it’s just kinda part of getting to know each other.”

As for Mara’s admission that the franchise has done “everything possible to screw this kid up,” Jones sounds like Eli Manning when he says:

“First and foremost, I take responsibility for my play and our lack of success. Obviously the quarterback has a big role in the team’s success, so I take responsibility in that in how I played. I know I gotta play better. I’m working to do that to improve as a player. And that’s where my focus is, is improving myself and making sure that I’m putting the team in a better position to win games.”

There is no woe-is-me from Daniel Jones.

“I think it’s been a good opportunity to learn a lot of football, to learn a lot of different perspectives, a lot of different ways to do it and ways to think about the game,” he said. “And I think that’s been a pro for me, the story and range of teaching and offensive style and system, I think it’s been cool for me to learn. Obviously you want the stability … it’s been a unique opportunity to learn, and hopefully that helps me going forward.”

Jones’ win-loss record is 12-25, and a prove-it year awaits him, with the Giants expected to decline his fifth-year option.

“I’m really not thinking about that,” Jones said. “Right now I’m focused on improving, improving physically and fundamentally and then learning the system and making sure I’m prepared and ready to go when we start up OTAs and making sure I get the most out of that so I’m prepared to start the season.”

With the fifth- and seventh-overall picks in the upcoming draft, the Giants could decide to select a quarterback in what is a weak quarterback class.

“All those decisions are way over my head,” Jones said. “My job is to prepare to play at the highest level I can and improve as a player day to day.”

Jones confirmed Mara’s confidence that the neck injury which sidelined him for the last six weeks of the season will not be a factor.

“Neck’s doing good, it’s feeling good,” Jones said. “Doctors and trainers are saying everything’s good. I know I’d be cleared to play today. Unfortunate way to end the season, but all the doctors, all the trainers have told me confidently it’s not something that will be an issue going forward.”

Jones spoke with Joe Judge after his coach the past two years was fired.

“It was a good conversation, obviously I have a lot of appreciation for Coach giving me the opportunity to play for him and helping me improve as a player,” Jones said. “Just expressing that and obviously wish him the best going forward.”

And going forward … a spot on the Manning-cast, perhaps?

“I haven’t been approached,” Jones said, and chuckled. “But Peyton and Eli have done a great job with that, I’ve really enjoyed watching that this year.”

Asked if he still believes he is the Giants’ quarterback of the future, Jones said, “I think all that stuff will take care of itself if I’m able to prepare myself to play well and play at a high level.”

Josh? Hey, Daniel Jones calling …
