The Giants appear to be moving on from Jones
The New York Giants are benching starting quarterback Daniel Jones, per a report from Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
The move to bench Jones was pretty widely expected over the bye week. Not only is Jones coming off of a poor performance against the Carolina Panthers, but he had already been benched for the fourth quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The bye week following the trip to Munich is a natural break point to make such a significant change.
In a recent survey, 57% of the Big Blue View community responded that they want to see Tommy DeVito retake the reins of the Giants’ offense, and it seems they will get their wish.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the team is going with former UDFA Tommy DeVito as their starter after moving on from Jones.
DeVito was exciting and won three games in his stint as a starter last year, which could provide another spark for the team and fans. DeVito will make his debut as the Giants’ chosen starter when the Giants play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home this week.
