Giants’ Brian Daboll never considered benching Daniel Jones in Week 10

The New York Giants are going to sink or swim with starting quarterback Daniel Jones, it seems.

The sink is more like it.

After losing to the NFL’s worst defense, the Carolina Panthers, in Munich on Sunday, head coach Brian Daboll still wasn’t convinced Jones was his biggest obstacle to success.

“Obviously we’re not where we want to be,” Daboll told reporters after the game. “We’ll evaluate things over the bye week, do the things we need to do. We’ll practice for a few days next week and evaluate everything.

After Jones dominated the field in Munich, what’s left to evaluate?

Don’t get me wrong. Some Giants fans love Daniel but they also love winning. And it’s not a winner. The Giants are 2-8 and going nowhere fast. Jones has a career record of 22-44-1. Is this defensible at any level?

Remember, this is the third year of Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen’s regime. They are supposed to compete for the playoffs and not for the No. 1 pick in next year’s draft.

Jones was horribly embarrassing in the first half of Sunday’s game, hanging on to the football too long and missing big-play opportunities while missing wide-open receivers on others.

Still, Daboll admits he hasn’t even considered the idea of ​​benching Jones. He’s put in too much work these past three summers. That wasn’t enough.

“I would say we have a lot of work to do here in the next few days, next week,” he said. “And we will evaluate where we are and what we need to do.”

Could this lead to a change at quarterback? The Giants’ quarterback room doesn’t exactly offer fans a warm and fuzzy atmosphere either.

The prospect of having Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito at center probably gives Daboll hesitation. It would also be a sign that he’s giving up on the season and that’s just not in his nature.
