We know who Tyrod Taylor is and what he's about and if you are really considering DeVito as potential 2024 back-up, then it makes sense to see some more of him in regular season action.
Having said that, Taylor gives the Giants the best chance to win and, to the guys in the locker-room who are laying it on the line, it might not be the most popular decision.
Absolutely. In a shit sandwich kind of season, it’s a good move to not only stick with the hot hand, but give the people what they want. At best, this team probably has only 1 or two wins left in it, so let’s keep trying to have some fun.
Even if the playoffs was realistic, I’d keep giving No. 15 the start. Certainly not like he’s been embarrassing himself out there.
Hell, the Jets would have loved to have him the past couple of weeks.

Either TT isn't fully healthy or not cleared for contact yet.
I don't know about that. Why did they activate him then? They need a 2nd QB in case DeVito gets hurt. Unless they plan to elevate Barkley and deactivate TT. But if so, again, why even activate TT?
RE: Taylor won't be here next year no matter if he starts or not.
Letting DeVito play so they can find out if they have a viable back up for Jones and don't have to waste a draft pick.
I disagree. I think DeVito proving to be a viable backup QB saves them from signing a FA. I think it will be DeVito or a FA (Taylor type). IMO, they will likely draft a QB in the next draft or two, but they will be looking for a starter.
The starter will either be Jones or a rookie. With the other the backup.
DeVito's 15 minutes of fame will come to an end.
It was/is a nice story in the middle of a terrible season. I do however believe that he may be the backup next season. Depending on the draft and DJs injury status.
I'm happy for the kid to at least prove he can play well enough to win games against lesser teams
the fans here feel the need to project TD's future as a backup or practice squad guy? It's been fun to watch in an otherwise dismal season. Many of the YouTube videos' analyzing his play have been very complementary.

They may draft a qb, but it won't be in this draft. They have way too many holes to fill. Build an oline, draft defense that can stop the run so they don't get gashed for big yards that keeps drives alive. They can also help Jones by getting a top tier wr that can get separation.
Jordan Love is not a very good qb, if the defense steps up and DeVito protects the ball I believe the Giants will win. Then again I have been a Giants fan since e1955 and have always believed the Giants could win every game they played!
this can really disrupt defensive gameplan of other teams
Giants can bring Taylor in on 3rd and shorts with wildcat formation and really mess with the defense. Taylor is like twice as fast as Tommy running the ball.
This season is really an extended look at people we have, with a view toward 2024. In that respect, start the kid and see what he has and how much has he developed. If it gets ugly, then sub in TT. This is a no lose situation (except for the game itself!). Would be nice to have a low cost QB, who can actually contribute, if need be, on the roster next season. With a QB undoubtedly being drafted and a recovering Daniel Jones, TT's place on the roster is questionable and he can likely move on to a team better positioned for a veteran backup.
we have more than 1 draft pick next year and I’d bet you every penny to my name we are drafting a QB in 2024.
Me too - unless they sign an experienced, relatively high level FA. Even before Jones injury it was clear they'd likely draft a QB to replace TT and backup/hedge Jones. Just not a 1st rounder.
At the moment, assuming a 6-10 pick range, I'd guess non-QB edge or WR with pick one with next 3 in some order QB, WR/Egde depending on pick 1, and guard or TE.

When they do draft a QB on day 1 or day 2 in the upcoming draft, will you go away forever?

This is Love's first year starting. Lately he's looked real good. 4-1 in his last 5 starts with 11 TDs.
Green Bay's big problem is probably losing Christian Watson for a game or two with his hamstring injury. Hamstrings are a recurring problem with him.
I was really looking forward to the Banks/Watson matchups.
but I have a feeling we're going to see things click for him Monday night. He's going to figure out how to go through his progressions quicker and hit the check downs quicker. Once that happens this offense will start to click. Just need the line to hold up and for him to not hold the ball forever. Kid is a gamer.
We all have our opinions...
I believe Devito is better than Taylor at this point, although he holds the ball too long at times.
Taylor just gets wildly inaccurate for long stretches of the game.
Having said that, Taylor gives the Giants the best chance to win and, to the guys in the locker-room who are laying it on the line, it might not be the most popular decision.
I agree with this 100%
New England and Washington tanking. GB is not.
Let's see how he does. Key indicator.
Even if the playoffs was realistic, I’d keep giving No. 15 the start. Certainly not like he’s been embarrassing himself out there.
Hell, the Jets would have loved to have him the past couple of weeks.

I doubt it. He's practicing today.

2024: Jones, DeVito, draft pick
2025: draft pick, DeVito
exactly.
That said, I have a feeling we will see Tyrod at some point here over the last 5 weeks.

Plus, they got rid of the other backup QBs.

Did I miss it? I thought he was “designated” yesterday but not yet activated from IR?
