Why are you so pissy?

Dak got overpaid, anyone with a working brain can see that
No denying that but every QB gets overpaid. It's the nature of the league. WRs and edge rushers now being paid what the QBs were less than 5 years ago. The money has gotten way out of control and teams are stuck trying to keep up with other teams. Approximately 1/4 of the league paying their QB over 50 mil AAV is nuts but it is what it is.

Back to the topic at hand, simple mathematics for Jones and the Giants ala Derek Carr in Vegas and Russell Wilson in Denver. He'll be cut in the off-season anyway and the team is likely picking in the top 3 ( maybe even 1st overall after the loss to the Panthers) so no use risking the injury guarantee. Worst case scenario is that DeVito actually gives them a spark and they fuck up the draft position although the QB draft class is pretty weak anyway.

Devito was pretty awful last year

The defense was amazing

Yeah.

It’s the Andy dalton phenomenon

Overpaying a mediocre qb is better for gm jov security than going back and trying again to find an actual good qb

Daniel Jones gets benched. His career QB rating is 84.3.

Eli Manning retired with a career QB rating of 84.1.

Jones really was the perfect successor to Eli. I don’t know how the Giants screwed that up.
