Daniel Jones’ future in doubt after quarterback fails to lift Giants once again

It’s over. Done. What else do you need to see? It’s been five years of the same excruciatingly painful reality slapping the Giants in the face on a near weekly basis. You’d think that would be enough to make them realize the one season of baseline competence was nothing more than an accident, but here they are.

On Monday night, against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they trotted out Daniel Jones as their quarterback. And, unsurprisingly, he lost them the game. Twice he turned it over in the fourth quarter with a chance to score and tie the game with the ensuing two-point conversion. The final a miserable interception sent six feet over an open Devin Singletary‘s head.

Final score: Steelers 26, Giants 18.

It’s time for head coach Brian Daboll to do what he flirted with a week ago against Philadelphia. The Jones Era with the Giants needs to end. Is Drew Lock the right answer? Tommy DeVito? That’s unclear.

But it’s time for New York to own up to the fact Jones is very clearly the wrong one.

You can lament the Giants decision to not have a contingency plan in place for an Andrew Thomas injury until you’re blue in the face. That is a wild case of roster mismanagement. GM Joe Schoen told anyone who would listen that the tackle’s absence derailed their 2023 season. Knowing that, to have to scramble to add Chris Hubbard off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad because your backup, Josh Ezeudu, was so bad you had to give up on him after a week? Ridiculous.

But this is not about the line. It’s not about the defense’s poor tackling. It’s not about the coverage breakdowns. It’s not about another special teams meltdown. It’s not about the horrific display of discipline evident by the 11 accepted penalties.

It’s that, for four quarters, Jones, who is now an almost-unbelievable 1-15 in primetime games, went out there and again showed anyone with a functioning pair of eyes and elementary understanding of football that he is not it.
