With Week 4 in the books for the New York Giants after a mournful loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football, the Giants have a ten day gap between their next game in Seattle when they take on the Seahawks.
After losing this week by a final score of 20-15, with the offense showing very few signs of improvement, it’s fair to ask whether or not the Giants should make a quarterback change for Week 5.
The Giants are currently 1-3, last place in the NFC East, and don’t have much to lose, as this season feels like a replica of the last few years yet again. The defense looks polished, but there’s simply no life to the offense.
Danel Jones finished this week’s game with 281 pass yards, 0 touchdowns, and 1 interception. While he didn’t necessarily lose them the game, he definitely didn’t help them win it.
Giants standout rookie WR Malik Nabers exited the game in the fourth quarter with a concussion, but still accumulated 115 yards on 12 receptions. One could only think how much better he would be with a good quarterback, as his early success with Daniel Jones is still impressive.
This offseason, the New York Giants brought in Drew Lock on a 1 year, 5 million dollar deal to backup Daniel Jones. Lock previously spent time in Denver with the Broncos, and backed up Geno Smith in Seattle with the Seahawks. Some could argue that Lock is more talented than Jones, and where the Giants currently stand, with signs pointed towards another gloomy season in East Rutherford, giving him a shot to lead the offense should definitely be up for debate inside the Giants coaching room.
Before the season started, the Giants had internal discussions about trading up in the draft to take Jayden Daniels, the star QB out of LSU, who was drafted by the division rival Washington Commanders and has shown signs of being a star.
This shows that the front office doesn’t have the confidence in Daniel Jones that they once did, and while he’s under contract for a few more years, it might be in their best interest to give Drew Lock a chance to start, and if that doesn’t work out, look to take a quarterback in the upcoming draft.
