### Giants Grapple with Quarterback Dilemma Amidst Season Struggles

In Arlington, Texas, the New York Giants are facing a tumultuous period as they navigate a seven-game losing streak. The age-old football adage suggests that having two quarterbacks might as well mean having none, and this appears to be ringing true for the Giants. The recent decision to cut their 10-game starter Daniel Jones has left head coach Brian Daboll contemplating whether to go forward with Tommy DeVito or Drew Lock when they face the Saints on December 8.

Following a 27-20 loss to the Cowboys, where Lock started due to DeVito’s injury, Daboll remains noncommittal about who his starting quarterback will be. Despite Lock contributing 189 passing yards and a team-high 57 rushing yards along with a touchdown, his two turnovers, including a costly pick-six, were points of concern for Daboll. "You can't have those turnovers," Daboll emphasized, highlighting the impact of such mistakes on the game’s outcome.

Lock's mixed performance leaves the Giants with a choice between his volatile playstyle and DeVito's steadier, more manageable presence. DeVito, who has avoided interceptions in six of his seven career starts, has often been Daboll's safer bet, a strategy evident last season and again this year when DeVito was preferred over Lock despite being Jones’ third-string backup.

The Giants' next game against the 4-7 Saints might be their best chance to avoid extending their losing streak to twelve games, a crucial consideration for Daboll and General Manager Joe Schoen, who are both under pressure. Daboll's decision will not only aim to salvage the season but also appease differing fan opinions. Some fans yearn for wins, while others hope for losses that could secure a top draft pick.

Adding to the complexity of the situation are the Giants' injuries and defensive struggles. The team has just one sack in the last four games and has been porous against the run, allowing 5.1 yards per carry. Defensively, missing key players like Dexter Lawrence could further weaken their resistance. Offensively, the protection issues have escalated, particularly since losing left tackle Andrew Thomas to a season-ending injury.

Their latest loss to the Cowboys was marked by a controversial call. A third-and-3 conversion by Dallas’s Brandin Cooks that sealed the game might have been negated by an offensive pass interference penalty, which the Giants contended was overlooked. This season, such officiating calls have repeatedly gone against them, adding to their mounting woes.

Currently, the Giants hold a precarious position projected for the No. 1 draft pick, contingent on the Jaguars' performance against the Texans. As they look ahead to a challenging schedule, the Giants find themselves with one eye on potential future talent while grappling with the immediate pressure to end their losing streak and restore some measure of competitiveness.
