This is the sad reality for Daniel Jones with Brian Daboll's big Giants chance coming
How long that support lasts, though, is in question. Because the end is near for Jones as a Giant after six seasons. And it should be.
Each week, as the Giants losses have mounted, the question is asked of Brian Daboll:
“Any change at quarterback?”
And every time the Giants head coach is asked about Daniel Jones, he voices support for his starting quarterback.
How long that support lasts, though, is in question.
Because the end is near for Jones as a Giant after six seasons.
And it should be.
Regardless of how diligently Jones prepares, that he’s the first person in the building and last one out, how hard he plays or how well he represents the franchise with class, six years with one winning season to show for it is enough time for everyone to know this hasn’t worked and it’s time to move on.
So, we’re drawing closer to Daboll answering that weekly question with an announcement that there actually will be a change at quarterback.
A loss to lowly Carolina on Sunday in Munich could trigger that change as soon as next week.
The Giants would be headed into their bye week at 2-8, riding a five-game losing streak with no chance at a playoff berth, and with Jones a financial liability to the team with a $23 million injury guarantee for 2025 that becomes fully guaranteed if he gets hurt and is unable to pass a physical in the offseason.
At that point, it would be Drew Lock time, with perhaps a little Tommy DeVito sprinkled in, for the rest of the season.
