“Actually Insane”: New York Giants Fans Stunned Over Daniel Jones Being Starting Quarterback Against the Washington Commanders

The New York Giants had many chances in the fourth quarter to score on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. On the final two drives of the game for the Giants, Daniel Jones was strip-sacked by T.J. Watt and he also threw an interception.

In the last three games, Jones has not thrown a touchdown pass. Against the Steelers, he completed 24-of-38 passes for 264 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He was ineffective on the ground with one yard rushing on three carries and zero touchdowns.

For some strange reason, head coach Brian Daboll announced on Tuesday that Daniel Jones will start against the Washington Commanders this weekend. This appeared to upset the fanbase.

Here is what the fanbase had to say about Jones staying as the starting quarterback for Week 9 against the Washington Commanders:

The Giants fanbase is fed up with the team playing Daniel Jones. This is only going to get worse before the bye week.

Drew Lock Or Tommy DeVito Needs To Start

At what point will the Giants start Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito over Daniel Jones? Also, is there a chance that the Giants are tanking? Would Lock or DeVito help New York win games before the end of the 2024 season?

There is no question that they will replace Daniel Jones next season. If not, this is a John Mara decision.
