But, as it turns out, the beginning of the end may have arrived far sooner than Jones's benching. Multiple players told ESPN's Jordan Raanan that the quarterback's relationship with coach Brian Daboll "appeared different" during the 2024 season, with one player even calling the dynamic between the player and coach "weird."

The best result is now probably for the team to lose as many games as possible, get a high draft pick and select the QB of the future with it. However, despite promises from ownership, head coach Brian Daboll may not survive a winless (or near-winless) stretch run after starting the campaign 2-8.

This week, Daboll had to finally make the decision to bench starting quarterback Daniel Jones, a move that was not a surprise given how the Giants' season has unfolded. Jones is basically done as a Giant and that may not sit well with some of his teammates.

John Mara gave Brian Daboll a very low bar to clear. And he still might not clear it. Remember, before the season, Mara said he wanted to see “significant improvement” in this hot-seat third season for Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen.

The New York Giants decision to bench Daniel Jones coming out of the Week 11 bye in place of Tommy DeVito isn't a universally beloved call from those inside the locker room. Recently, star defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence offered his dissenting position,

There is reportedly a “growing sense” around the league that New York Giants coach Brian Daboll is “coaching for his job” down the stretch.

And Daboll — who is 2-8 this year after going 6-11 last year — is fooling himself if he thinks his locker room definitely will rally around third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito this time.

The New York Giants will have a new starting quarterback when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday, benching Daniel Jones for second-year reserve Tommy DeVito this week. Coach Brian Daboll isn't committing to DeVito remaining under center for the rest of the 2024 season, however.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll hinted on Monday that the lineup changes could go beyond the quarterback position this week.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll signed quarterback Daniel Jones to a four-year, $160 million contract in 2023. Jones was benched Monday 16 starts into that contract.

The New York Giants offensive woes aren’t all the responsibility of quarterback Daniel Jones, but with the team continuing to spiral out of control and with head coach Brian Daboll’s footing probably not as secure as that of general manager Joe Schoen’s, someone had to take the fall for the team’s 2-8 record.
