New York Giants news for Tuesday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
From Week 1, Jones looked the part of a player who does not believe in what he is seeing on the field, and like it or not, that appearance has not gone away. He isn't the only reason Daboll and the Giants are where they are, the latest setback coming to Carolina in Germany that served as the final dagger heading into the bye week.
He is the biggest, and as the quarterback, that's equally part of the job description and inherently true to the results.
The Tommy DeVito sequel, while compelling, raises a different question: Do you really trust the Giants' current brain trust to pick the next franchise quarterback?
The relationship between Daniel Jones and the Giants has been described as “a bit awkward,” multiple sources say, especially with the organization publicly exploring other QB options, including during Hard Knocks this past offseason. “It was like flirting with someone new while your date is still at the table,” one source said.
The Giants’ players have long been supporters of Jones, even if there was some visible frustration from his receivers in recent weeks. Still, they respect the way he works and comports himself. Tight end Daniel Bellinger said after their latest loss to the Carolina Panthers in Germany that Jones is their guy. “He’s our starter. I think he’s our leader, our captain. He’s the guy we need to be our quarterback,” Bellinger said. It will be interesting to see how this plays out considering the respect Jones has earned, balanced with his struggles on the field, with his teammates.
The injury guarantee is a valid reason to bench Jones, especially as he has repeatedly rammed himself...
