The New York Giants are in complete disarray as a franchise. After a lifeless 30-7 home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12, the locker room feels like it’s hanging by a thread.

There are many problems with the Giants, none bigger than the situation at quarterback. Daniel Jones was benched, demoted and then released within a week. Tommy DeVito was named the starter, passing Drew Lock, who was next on the depth chart.

Some thought DeVito, who made a bit of magic as a rookie in 2023 and picked up three wins for the Giants, still had something to give as he looks to push for a spot in the Giants’ quarterback room next year.

However, that wasn’t the case, at least not last week against the Bucs. DeVito threw for 189 yards on the day, most of them when the Giants were down by several scores in the second half. DeVito also resorted to poor sacks at times and was defeated four times by the Buccaneers’ pass rush.

And now DeVito is in danger of not even playing against the Cowboys on Thursday. Thanks to a forearm injury He is therefore considered questionable for this week’s game.

But let’s go back to Jones.

Interestingly, Albert Breer has in his latest MMQB columnrevealed that while the Giants’ quarterback change saddened the players, there was some frustration with Jones’ play.

“These are incredibly damning comments and for the people who think this is about the release of Daniel Jones, I can say that before his release there was some frustration with Jones among players and coaches because of his hesitation “To go through with the release.” Deduction and for all the throws he missed,” Breer said.

“While Tommy DeVito’s deficiencies may have made things worse for some players, Nabers himself said, ‘It’s not the quarterback.’ … Same result when we had DJ’”

The Giants’ quarterback problem was obvious when Jones was here, but he was just one of them. The entire team has holes that need to be filled, with the quarterback being the biggest of the bunch.

Their problems extend beyond Jones, as the Giants were completely outmatched on the defensive side of the ball on Sunday. Players missed tackles everywhere and, unsurprisingly, the Buccaneers outran the Giants for 156 yards and four touchdowns.

Jones was a problem, but he wasn’t the only one. Where does the team go from here after a loss like the one the Giants suffered against the Bucs? The performance they showed on Sunday is the kind that gets people fired. Daboll will need to get the locker room back in order with a quick turnaround on Thursday.

The decision to leave Jones was the right one – there is no doubt about it. He lacked reads, threw receivers over and under, and was simply too indecisive to execute the offense.

But right now it looks like the Giants jumped from the frying pan into the fire at least in one game while the quarterback was playing, but things haven’t improved.
