Joe Schoen has weighed in on the possible decision to move on from quarterback Daniel Jones.
In his bye week press conference on Tuesday, the third-year Giants general manager was asked for his evaluation of Jones and whether the team would move on from him this week.
Daniel’s played some good games, then maybe has made some throws that he’d like to have back,” Schoen said. “In general it’s not one individual, or situation, that keeps occurring We’re going to evaluate everything, like Dabes said yesterday.
“The decisions we make will be football decisions.
On Monday, when asked if Jones would remain his starting quarterback “going forward”, coach Brian Daboll was non-committal — which cracked open the possibility of a competition between him, Drew Lock (the current backup) and Tommy DeVito.
“We’re going to spend a lot of time here watching the tape and evaluating things,” Daboll said Monday. “We’ll do that as a coaching staff over the next week here.”
All of this comes amid a lost season that keeps getting worse for the Giants (2-8).
They fell to the pathetic Carolina Panthers (3-7) in front of an international audience in Germany on Sunday. Jones finished the game with 190 yards on 22-of-37 passing, a rushing touchdown and two interceptions.
The 27-year-old showed glimpses of decent quarterback play, but he had at least four turnover-worthy mistakes in the first half — including him taking a momentum-halting sack on a flea flicker attempt as Malik Nabers and Wan’Dale Robinson were open downfield.
