I’ve read some comments here stating one big concern they have….he doesn’t read the field fast enough. Are these people getting confused with Daniel Jones? Besides, even if that is so, you could say this concern affects more than 50% of today’s NFL QBs, especially inexperienced ones.
If you are one who thinks he can’t possibly be a good starting QB in the NFL…Why don’t you think time and experience can help him grow into a good one? He does have plenty of assets to work with…just go back and watch the MNF game vs the Packers and the Commanders 2nd game in Washington. Very accurate and appears to be fearless….just to mention a few.
So, why would you be willing to give up so soon on “Cutlets”…..look at the first year results of guys you respect, like Simms and Manning. How did they do in year one? And don’t forget….Cutlets was working with the worst OL in the NFL and not much surrounding him.
Okay, I’m all ears now…or should I say “eyes.”
He offers the highest upside to the team and the most hope to fans.
I can't believe Daniel Jones is still the starting QB after they teased us with all the draft stuff.
Interest in Maye is great but they didn't get him. They also passed on 3 guys who figure to start either right away or very early. God help us all if any of those 3 guys become the man for their respective teams.
Possible but extremely unlikely.
If he moves up to QB2, less unlikely.
It is overwhelmingly likely that DeVito can't be "the man" for a variety of reasons that have already been discussed here since he became a meme last season. He's limited both physically and mentally as compared to elite NFL QBs, and while he surely could overcome those limitations, the deck is stacked against him merely due to the nature of the position he plays.
Tommy throws a great deep ball. Shows toughness. Seems to have some charisma.
He self admittedly said he needs to have better pocket presence and quicker internal clock.
He looked very good in the 2023 preseason and made a miserable season a little fun and exciting.
He can be an NFL starter IMO.
And if you're not going to have a really good QB, the next best thing is to have a serviceable QB who makes no money.
As my grandpappy used to say- football is the only ball that isn't round and those pointy edges take funny bounces sometimes.
For all we know Tommy DeVito could be in action week 2 and lead the Giants to a 14-3 record and start for the NFC in the Pro Bowl. It's a wacky game.
Exactly… agreed
I would love he is the next Curt Warner, but i doubt it.

I doubt DeVito will switch to RB.

It was a nice story but he probably ia the 3rd or 4th QB on roster.

There's a decent chance he's better than Jones. He was a better player in both high school and college, and he was a better player last year as a pro.
So say we sign L'Jarious Snead and Christain Wilkins. That is an insanely good defense. Or Snead and we get some higher end OL than we ended up with. Maybe we have a good running game, really good D, and a passing game that can pop with some big plays.
There are so many options when you don't just burn $40 M

That's not a stretch by any means. And reinforces why it was utter insanity that Jones was drafted on day one, let alone in the lottery.
Is he any slower than Jones?
Actually, that is the issue….could he be better than Jones? Does he have a better arm than Jones? The issue is- who is the best QB on our roster to be the starter? Jones, Lock, Cutlets?
Terps brought up a good point…Cutlets was better than Jones in both HS and college. And He was definitely better than Jones last year. In addition, I believe he is a better more accurate passer than Jones, especially downfield and or to the sideline. And unlike Jones, he is not afraid to throw the ball downfield.
So where do you see Jones better being better than Cutlets? They both run well….although Jones is Injury prone and I believe still very capable of the turnover. Did Cutlets have many turnovers last year? Actually I don’t know…so I will look this up after I post.

Exactly and that is why he was drafted so high.
If the Giants thought Cutlets had that kind of ability, why would they have signed Lock? How much $ would they have signed?
Turps - you lose credibility when you spout BS like Cutlets was better than Jones in high school unless you’ve seen both play some. Did you?
DeVito was not drafted.
If there is nothing Jones does better than DeVito and the gap was that wide in the rankings as many of you have indicated, even with all the scouts, games, tape, analytics, combines, interviews, etc. the NFL (as a monolith) still sucks at scouting.
Drew Lock will be QB2, and Jones and Lock were first round picks in the same year. I hope DJ remains healthy all season, but I'm glad the Giants have a quality QB with extensive history to back him up.

Jones was a zero-star recruit and had no D1 offers.
DeVito was recruited by Syracuse, Maryland, Rutgers, BC, Yale.
It seems like you don't know what you are talking about...
Possible but extremely unlikely.
If he moves up to QB2, less unlikely.
I think Jericho Sims has a better chance to become MVP of the NBA than Tommy Devito has of being the franchise QB of the NY Football Giants.

DeVito was highly recruited out of high school. 4 star recruit. Want to guess how many stars Jones was as a recruit out of high school? Zero.
It's not my opinion. I didn't know either guy existed when they were in high school. The recruiting community did, though.

Josh Allen and Kurt Warner were zero star recruits. Gunner Kiel and Jimmy Clausen were 5 star recruits.
Doesn't mean much.

By your logic, Jones must be a better QB since he was drafted 6th in the first round and Cutlets was undrafted.
Jones and Lock are also likely at best journeyman backups or "bridge starters."
Six years into the Jones regime, this is where we are.
Welcome to QB hell.
Quote:
are the same he had in college; namely that he holds onto the ball too damn long. He has got to speed up that clock in his head to be an NFL starter, and that’s not necessarily easy to do.
Is he any slower than Jones?
Probably a bit, but yeah, Jones has that issue too. Look, if the question is would I rather play Jones at $40M or DeVito at $1M, I’ll go with Tommy. What he doesn’t have that Jones does is speed, but let’s be real, I doubt we see nearly as many designed QB runs this year as we did in ‘22.
Josh Allen and Kurt Warner were zero star recruits. Gunner Kiel and Jimmy Clausen were 5 star recruits.
Doesn't mean much.
That's not the point. The point is that out of high school, there was more demand for DeVito. And he played for a major high school program Don Bosco Prep.
I’m confused…..Are you talking about Jones or Cutlets?

As we all know, the Giants don’t always make the best decisions….signing Jones for $40 million I think is one decision we all lament over. How about drafting Neal when even Sy warned us about his short comings? I won’t go into all the other useless FAs we signed for big bucks.

This sums it up. This team is nowhere.

Terps is right that DeVito was the more highly recruited prospect out of HS. And their college careers were both up and down, the difference being that Jones stayed at Duke and made the most of it, whereas DeVito bounced around - a little unlucky and a little on him. I don't think the difference between them is as great as #6 overall pick and UDFA would suggest.
2, DeVito beats out Drew Lock for QB2
Lot of ifs there - no sure thing the staff bails on Jones when they seem to still be full steam ahead with him, plus his contract, Mara loyalty, etc. also no sure thing DeVito beats out Lock
Do I think Tommy D can be “the man”? Feels like a stretch. But he may get another shot
Realistically, I think the competitive journeyman label assigned above is apt

It doesn't matter though because it is not an open competition and the GM is dying to go down with ship.

What makes you say DJ is the worst passer of the three?

Someone above said Jones was better than Cutletts out of high school. And that's just not true based on the recruiting process. DeVito was invited to the prestigious Elite 11 camp run by Trent Dilfer. They just don't invite anybody.
Yes, the recruiting process is flawed as it's more art than science. But they also get a lot right.
I'm a fan of both of them. Different paths though. That Jones ended up as #6 in the entire draft, and DeVito a UDFA, has a lot of randomness to it. Go Giants!
