At halftime of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany, New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll should have benched quarterback Daniel Jones. Instead, Daboll later admitted he never even entertained the idea.

But what Giants players did say did not reflect well on coach Brian Daboll’s ability to lead a team that is now 2-8 for the second straight season — and 8-19 since the start of 2023. The Giants have lost five straight since that shocking upset win in Seattle.

Should the Giants bench Jones, their options are Drew Lock (now on his third NFL team) and Tommy DeVito, the Jersey man of legend from 2023. It therefore feels unlikely the savior for this squad is currently on the roster. Lock and DeVito are mostly known quantities at this point and they are not even guaranteed to be better than Jones.
