How do Giants fare entering Week 12?

Nate Davis, USA TODAY:

Will QB Daniel Jones ever play for this team again? He was basically fired coming out of the bye week, demoted to third string and likely headed for the door in a few months.

Barry Werner, List Wire:

A week off to figure out how everything went sour from a playoff berth a couple of seasons ago to the Tommy DeVito show, Part 2. Who’s next?

NFL Nation, ESPN:

Jones has been benched and will spend the remainder of the campaign buried as the third quarterback. He most likely will be released after the season. Ultimately, it just didn’t work out in the six years he was the Giants’ starter. Jones just wasn’t good enough. Nothing around him was good enough. “That’s on everybody. That’s just not on Daniel,” coach Brian Daboll said. The final tally was that Jones went 3-13 with 10 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions after signing the four-year, $160 million deal.

Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting News:

The Giants need to finish with some respectability with their young offensive skill players rallying for Brian Daboll and Daniel Jones, should he remain the starting quarterback. Lost in that QB concern, however, are backbreaking defensive woes.

Frank Schwab, Yahoo! Sports:

The Jaguars were going to the bottom spot, then came the Tommy DeVito news. Did Drew Lock’s incentives play a role in passing him over? Probably not, but either way, benching Daniel Jones was probably overdue, even if picking DeVito over Lock is odd.

Diante Lee, The Ringer:

The stage is set for the end of the Jones era with the Giants—two seasons too late. In a strike of irony only this franchise would suffer from, Jones has been about average through most of New York’s current five-game losing streak. But this team has had six seasons to build an infrastructure that works around average quarterback play, and it’s whiffed at every turn, leaving a roster that needs an upgrade at every position but its top receiver and nose tackle. Now that Jones has been benched, all that we have to watch for is when the head coach and general manager get relieved of their respective duties, too.

Eric Edholm, NFL.com:

Well, it wasn’t a surprise that Daniel Jones lost his starting job after the Munich meltdown. But it is interesting that Tommy DeVito — and not Drew Lock, the Giants’ well-paid backup QB — will be replacing Jones. Brian Daboll clearly believes DeVito can steal a game or two down the stretch better than Lock could. The Giants referred to the Jones benching as a “football decision,” even if there are financial ramifications involved, with Jones’ injury guarantee for next year being quite sizable. But I also think it applies to DeVito over Lock. DeVito had his moment(s) last season, briefly rallying the Giants and earning folk-hero status before a wave of sacks sent him back to the bench. What’ll happen this time? Who knows, but the Giants have to win more games than they lose just to match last season’s six victories. It doesn’t feel all that likely from this vantage point.

Ben Rolfe, Pro Football Network:

Doesn’t it tell you everything about the New York Giants that we are not actually sure if switching from Daniel Jones to Tommy DeVito upgrades or downgrades this offense?

It very much feels like Brian Daboll is coaching for his job, and in order to do that, he needs to prove his offense can work with a different quarterback. The defense has been a ray of light this year, and they hope to build on that next season.
