Before getting to the heart of the matter, it’s important to acknowledge that, yes, sure, the New York Giants’ offensive line is still a mess. So when a game gets as out of control as it did Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, you throw out some of the evaluation because there is no play call that beats a defense up 22 points with a quarter remaining, certain the offense has to throw. You can even excuse the very late interceptions because at that point you can be kind of impressed the guy is still willing to huck it.
With that taken care of, Daniel Jones needs to be benched. Or, at the very least, notified that first-team reps in practice will be doled out on merit from this point forward. With two other quarterbacks on the roster—Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito—whom we know are just as capable of winning games at this point, the time for action is now, before Jones-related excuse making morphs into locker room-wide indifference and cynicism.
