Brian Daboll: Daniel Jones is the Giants' future quarterback

Giants head coach Brian Daboll recalled quarterback Daniel Jones and replaced him with backup Drew Lock late in today's loss to the Eagles, but Daboll said there would be no changes to the Giants' quarterback depth chart.

“I made a change in the fourth quarter when it was 28-3 and had about 100 yards just to create a spark. Daniel will be the quarterback in the future. But obviously we didn’t do enough offensively,” said Daboll.

Daboll was asked why he didn't bench Jones sooner given the Giants' poor offense.

“The score hasn’t gotten out of hand. I felt like we had some chances there to make some plays, but we didn't make them and we didn't want to take him down at the time,” Daboll said. “It’s about everything, not just the quarterback – the coaching, everything just wasn’t good enough.”

Realistically, though, Daboll may soon have to think about the Giants' future and the fact that Jones has a $23 million injury guarantee for 2025. Next year, the Giants would be willing to pay him $23 million. If Jones stays healthy, it will be easy for the Giants to cut him and move on. Daboll says he remains loyal to Jones, but that could change if Jones turns in more performances than he does today.
