What happens in the event DeVito shits the bed on MNF?

Does the fan base quickly end the love affair? I hope so. Jut support this kid the last 5 games and hopefully he plays well enough to earn a spot on next year's 53.

Why would you bring Taylor in for the wildcat (when a RB gets the snap)?

We'll see where Tyrod is at the end of the week. Hopefully he'll be able to go, and if he is, he'll be the backup.
I do feel bad for Tyrod Taylor

An innovation pioneered by the CFL.

They have a smaller roster, and the 2nd or 3rd QB is often a short yardage QB.

I think the suggestion is to bring in TT as the wildcat RB, so that the D wouldn't know where the ball was going and what to do if it went to TT. Or they could just snap it to TommyD and send Hyatt deep while TT runs to the flat. Options...

TT is in his early 30s and played for 6 NFL teams so far. How can Cutlets be any worse ....? The more samples (games) the Giants have to draw from the more informative/accurate their opinion of him will be (hopefully). Let him play.

DeVito earned it, bottom line.

That said, I have a feeling we will see Tyrod at some point here over the last 5 weeks.


Put Tyrod in as the starter in Philly to save DeVito from getting his @$$ beat.
DeVito no doubt spent all last week studying film and the

Packers. And no doubt coaches game planned for DeVito not knowing for sure if Tyrod would be ready.
The Packers are going to win by 3 TD's.

I dont know why people do this.
No reason whatsoever NOT to start the kid  
Sec 103 : 12/5/2023 3:46 pm : link
He's earned it based on the last two games albeit against crap teams, but hey two wins 7 TDs.... Kids got some ballz!!!
TD Tommy  
Cheech d : 12/5/2023 3:56 pm : link
Very happy to read this decision from Daboll.
It may just end up a footnote for this season but at least it’s interesting for us fans.
Anything is possible so let’s watch and hopefully enjoy the rest of the season.


Happy he is getting the start  
rocco8112 : 12/5/2023 4:07 pm : link
Let's see what he can do. It makes for a more interesting end of the season and, you never know. He has shown some good things.

If he plays well and the Giants get a W against the rising Pack on Monday night. That would be big.

Probable outcome.

Taylor scored 9 points against a beat up Buffalo Bills defense and only success came against the worst defense in football, the same defense DeVito shredded.

It's time for the future and getting these young players experience. It's absolutely the correct move.
Devito takes sacks like a champ and keeps coming back for more.  
penkap75 : 12/5/2023 4:22 pm : link
TT is a better qb (and he knows how to throw the ball away), but he is fragile like glass and will has a high likelihood of getting injured again. We are better off letting the youngster play. I just wish he would throw the ball away instead of taking sacks. Him and DJ have that problem.
I'm happy to see the kid get another shot. I hope he does well

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.
I agree, he hasn’t lucked into the wins, the kid played solidly. Let him loose!
Have y'all seen the clips of Tyrod being asked about this?  
FranknWeezer : 12/5/2023 5:06 pm : link
Of course he handles it like a pro, but you can read between the lines pretty easily in the linked video and a couple others.

Hopefully Jones sees it now that he has had an opporunity to just watch and analyze. Re-energize and add on to his transformation. He should be stepping into a better situation OL wise and possibly WR wise. Devito has a chance to put himself in the lead for #2 chair and let the chips fall where they may with the draft.
I truly don't believe that what was missing was someone else

Going out in the field and doing it so he could see the example.

Why play TT?  
5BowlsSoon : 12/5/2023 6:46 pm : link
By all indications he won’t be here next year. There is a good chance Tommy will….so let’s see how he progresses….assuming he will progress.

Of course we quickly end the love affair. That's what we do. We've already forgotten that the only points we scored last game were when the defense gave us short fields. And that Tommy takes too many sacks because he can't process fast enough which is something that can't be fixed in a matter of weeks and which means we can't sustain drives on a long field. That being said, I'm happy with the decision because as a fan, I'd rather watch low-floor Tommy than low-ceiling Tyrod. And the Packers seem bad enough that I can convince myself that we actually have a chance to win.

If they thought Taylor would give them a better chance to win then he should play. But they clearly don’t, IMO. Don’t think his 2024 standing matters at all.
This makes absolute sense.  
BigBlueNH : 12/5/2023 7:32 pm : link
We know what we have in TT, and know he won't be back here next year. TD will be here next year, and we have no idea what his ceiling is.

We have seen him play 3 games behind what is still one of the historically worst OLs. Maybe he would look even better with a little more experience and a little more time to throw (and maybe a running game).
Its been a bad season. Devito gives fans  
kelly : 12/5/2023 7:46 pm : link
A reason to watch and hope for better days.

TT may be better right now but Devito brings more excitement and potential.

I hope like hell he connects on a few long completions to Hyatt, Slayton and Barkley

Go Giants
For the record Taylor is healthy  
BrianC : 12/5/2023 7:51 pm : link
according to this report. I continue to be ok with the decision.

I m hoping they use Saquon in the passing game like they did against Washington. They pretty much abandoned it against the Patriots. He's a real threat in the passing game.

Have to admit I felt bad listening/watching his interview on the video. Especially when a writer told him Dabs said Devito gives them a better chance of winning. His reaction "is that what he said"? Really was a bummer.
Tyrod is trash and made of glass  
WillVAB : 12/6/2023 12:52 am : link
It was obvious in the preseason with a handful of snaps DeVito was the better option.
Play the kid!
