As has been the case every single offseason, the New York Giants are looking forward to a big year ahead. Similarly, the organization has been putting all its eggs in the Daniel Jones basket as it exhibits its unwavering loyalty to its No. 6 overall pick from the 2019 NF Draft.
At this point, however, it appears that it’s actually Jones who is holding this team back from reaching its objectives.
Should New York Giants Move on From Daniel Jones Now?
“The Sunk Cost Fallacy is probably the biggest concept contributing to the New York Giants failing their rebuilding plan. If the buzz surrounding the team and quarterback Daniel Jones is true, then they have made a mistake by keeping him as the starter in 2024.
“There was the well-circulated rumor from Rich Eisen that the Giants already have ‘buyer’s remorse’ on Jones’ contract. Then there was additional reporting from Diana Russini of The Athletic that ownership didn’t want to trade up for a quarterback because of the four-year, $140 million contract they gave the 27-year-old a year ago.
“There was nothing wrong with drafting Malik Nabers. If he lives up to the hype, he’s going to be an electric reason that a QB could thrive with New York. However, the Giants would have been better off getting more aggressive to find an alternative quarterback solution who is better than Jones or new backup Drew Lock,” Ballentine wrote.
Parting ways with Jones now won’t lead to a Super Bowl win immediately. However, the sooner the Giants are able to come to terms with the fact that they have to move on from Jones, the closer they will get to a successful rebuild.
It’s a tough pill to swallow, but it’s just something that has to be done.
