After 2 victories and 8 defeats, the New York Giants finally made a significant change. After a five-game losing streak, the squad opted to change quarterbacks. They are benching Daniel Jones in favor of Tommy DeVito as their new starting QB. While Jones was struggling a lot on the field, fans did not think this decision would make much of a difference. DeVito did not have a great record as a starter quarterback and failed last year too. A football legend also highlighted this point.

The legend in question here is Chris Canty, who just spoke on Unsportsmanlike Radio. There was an announcement about the replacement on the show which did not sit well with Canty. The former NFL player indirectly warned the fans by mentioning what happened last season. The legend stated, “I don’t know about that man. Tommy DeVito messed it up for Giants fans last year. He lost a lot of games he was supposed to win. I would go with Drew Lock”

Chris Canty’s statement has left many fans perplexed regarding DeVito’s records. In 2023, the QB had three victories and three defeats as a starting quarterback. This was not it, as he had a 4.5 touchdown percentage, a 64.0 completion%, and an 88.9 passer rating. While this is not his best work, it is also not the worst.

The Giants have a huge next game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are also on a four-game losing run. It’ll be fascinating to observe how the two teams overcome the pressure of their losing streaks. And pay greater attention to the game. Tommy DeVito will be under a lot of pressure since he has so many hopes on his shoulders.

This pressure will not be only about performing well but also about making his space in the team. As per some hints, there is a rumor that the team is going to change maybe everything next year. An NFL legend has suggested this to the management recently.

Rex Ryan thinks replacing Daniel Jones with Tommy DeVito was the correct decision

Well, Rex Ryan has always been candid about his beliefs, and the legend demonstrated this once more. He was recently featured on ESPN, where he discussed Daniel Jones’ benching. The legend argued that while Tommy DeVito may not have been the best choice. Benchmarking Jones was actually a wise decision.

The Giants should experiment with the games they have left in order to return better the following year. According to Rex Ryan, the team’s administration will attempt to replace the head coach and quarterback next year. That is why the Giants should look at what they have right now and whether the players they have work or not.

Rex Ryan also boldly claimed that the New York Giants are, “One of the worst football teams in the league.” Surprisingly, everyone on the ESPN panel agreed with Ryan’s statement. They, too, believe that the best thing the Giants could do right now is to press the reset button.

Only time will tell how the team will carry out the reset decision in the future.
