Giants’ Brian Daboll going with Tommy DeVito to ‘create a spark’

On Monday, the New York Giants officially made the decision to bench quarterback Daniel Jones, moving him to the QB3 spot and effectively ending his time in East Rutherford.

This move was expected by many following a disappointing Week 10 game against the Carolina Panthers, but what came next was more controversial.

Instead of promoting Drew Lock to the starting role with Tommy DeVito as his backup, the Giants opted to name DeVito as QB1 in hopes of sparking the team.

Head coach Brian Daboll explained to reporters, “After careful evaluation and considering Tommy’s past contributions to the team, we believe he can bring a spark. Drew will serve as the backup as we continue to work with him.”

Daboll chose not to elaborate on why Jones was demoted to QB3 and ruled out for the rest of the season, but it is clear that factors like injury and salary played a role in the decision-making process.

When questioned about the choice of DeVito over Lock, Daboll cited film evaluation as the determining factor, claiming DeVito was identified as the best quarterback for the team.

The future of Jones, Lock, and DeVito remains uncertain, with potential changes looming for the Giants’ quarterback lineup.

As the team moves forward with DeVito as the starting quarterback, questions arise about the management’s decision-making and evaluation processes, particularly regarding personnel and contracts.

There is speculation about how DeVito will perform behind an improved offensive line and what impact his success could have on the future of the franchise.

Despite the possibility of success with DeVito, the manner in which the Giants have handled the situation, along with concerns about contract management and personnel evaluation, raise doubts about the leadership of general manager Joe Schoen and coach Daboll.

The co-owners, John Mara and Steve Tisch, may not be pleased with the ongoing uncertainties within the organization.
