Daniel Jones ‘may be staying’ as New York Giants’ starting QB, per report

The Giants might not be done with him just yet

If you believe what well-connected NFL insider Dianna Russini of The Athletic is selling, the New York Giants might not be done with Daniel Jones just yet.

“At this point from what I’ve been hearing and the conversations I’ve had Daniel Jones may be staying as the starting quarterback here for a few more weeks,” Russini said on the Dan Lebatard Show on Friday. “I’m not sure if this is completely done. We’re going to know more this weekend, though, when they come back from their bye and they meet with their quarterbacks.

Russini said that despite being 3-13 in his last 16 starts the organization might still believe Jones is their best option.

“You’ve got Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll, despite the vote of confidence from their owner John Mara, it may appear that they’re safe, but we know how this goes. Even if the owner says that if they go out there and lose in a really bad way and it’s ugly football it’s going to be really hard to bring those guys back there.

“In the mind of a Brian Daboll and a Joe Schoen we don’t really know what Drew Lock’s about. I think Daniel Jones may still give them the best chance to win.”

I’m not buying. I think the Giants don’t really have a choice here but to move on. They are playing with financial fire if they don’t. They also open up the potential of next Sunday at MetLife Stadium when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers being really ugly.

I know, though, that you guys will want to weigh in on this one. So, have at it.
