Giants media again asked the question and forced Daboll to reiterate what he said after the game. This time Daboll gave an answer that was more intended to put the issue to bed. Jones has not been good enough to have a safe starting spot at this point, but Drew Lock did absolutely nothing to seize on the job. Jones will remain a low-end, superflex-only quarterback outside of good defensive matchups. Pittsburgh, next week, is not one of those matchups.
The Giants pulled QB Daniel Jones for the fourth quarter of Sunday's lopsided loss to the Eagles. He completed 14 of 21 passes for just 99 yards while taking 7 sacks before that departure. Drew Lock entered to go 3-for-8 with 6 yards passing.
Giants WR Malik Nabers returned from a two-game concussion for Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He managed just 4 receptions and 41 yards and even trailed WR Wan'Dale Robinson by 1 target. But Nabers' 8 still accounted for 27.6% of the Giants' total pass attempts. That included 28.6% of QB Daniel Jones' 21 attempts; 25% of replacement QB Drew Lock's eight throws.
Which are overreactions and which are reality?
The Giants came into Week Seven with one of the worst offenses in the NFL and the unit failed to match the poor results of the first six weeks against the Eagles.
