Confidence: Giants Players Reportedly Don't Want Daniel Jones To Get Benched, But Only Because Tyrod Taylor Isn't On The Roster

We know the story by now. Last week Daniel Jones got benched for a spark in Drew Lock. That didn't work either. Shocking updates, I know, but welcome to life as a Giants fan. So now we have Daniel Jones starting tonight and there's probably some confidence there since it's not at home. Sure, we never win in primetime, but at least there's some hope that Jones can have a touchdown since it's outside of MetLife. 

Daboll has made it clear though. Daniel Jones is the starter, even if he and Schoen want to move on from him no matter what. It's not time yet, for whatever reason. But now the players have reportedly spoken. They want Daniel Jones as their quarterback. They aren't pushing for a change. It says it right there! They believe they can compete with Daniel Jones, but only because Tyrod Taylor isn't on the roster. That might be the most disrespectful quote that sums up how everyone feels about this situation. I don't blame them. Taylor is the perfect backup quarterback who actually does provide a spark. 

This is where we're at as an organization. Players being asked if they support a quarterback change and they would if the old backup was still on the roster. Great times all around. Ruining a pretty solid defense, Dexter Lawrence should be in DPOY consideration and, well, Malik Nabers is fun. We got that going for us. Never felt better about the direction of this franchise heading into a Monday Night game. You got votes of confidence happening for Schoen and Daboll (Mara sucks), you got players talking about Tyrod Taylor. Can't wait to watch this team in primetime again.
