He’s better than Devito lol

and clearly the giants think so too because they would have named him the starter if they thought he would give them a better chance to lose

This sounds like circular logic to me.

OL: The Giants only made Devito the starter so they can lose games.

How do you know they want to lose games?

OL: Because they made it the starter.

Sure it’s circular logic if your head is stuck in the sand lol

The team stinks, they know the year is over. They’re benching Jones so he doesn’t get injured, and putting their worst QB in as the starter.

But yeah, totally not clear on whether they’re committed to losing games

Benching Jones is both a contract move and a football move. He's terrible. It's not to "lose games". I'm not convinced that playing him isn't the way to go if they just want to lose as much as possible. Daboll's future with the team is uncertain there's no way he's tanking. The idea that not playing Drew f***ing Lock is proof the team is tanking is preposterous.

Snowblind, you win...DJ is ass lol. I didn't think he was great but for a while I thought you could potentially win with him if he was surrounded by enough talent, especially on the OL.

Also, I'm reluctant to move on from a QB unless it's absolutely necessary because it's so hard to find another QB who can give the team a chance to win each week. That being said, it's obvious that DJ isn't it. He might be shell shocked from all the hits he's taken over the years but his timing and overall decision making is just awful and the NYG need to move on.

I still think the OL needs to be better along with CB and LB at a minimum. I'm okay keeping Daboll and Schoen around for stability.

Even without the injury clause, Jones play deserves benching. He’s been awful.

I actually would not be surprised if Devito is better than Lock lol. I don’t think the Giants beat staff has said a single good thing about him since he signed.

IIRC he had a bad training camp. He was bad in preseason and bad in his limited action against the Eagles the other week. He really just might suck. Which makes it more hilarious to give him $5 million lol.
