Giants Name DeVito Starting QB Amidst Challenges

Tommy DeVito has been named the starting quarterback for the New York Giants after the team benched Daniel Jones, largely to avoid potential financial repercussions from his contract if he were to be injured. Despite his popularity and local roots, DeVito's promotion over Drew Lock has drawn criticism, with some questioning the Giants' decision-making process. The Giants, currently holding a 2-8 record, are likely to draft a new quarterback in the upcoming NFL Draft, potentially positioning DeVito as a 'bridge starter' if he performs well for the remainder of the season. DeVito, who became an unexpected sensation last year, is determined to focus purely on football this season, distancing himself from the 'Tommy Cutlets' persona. The team's decision to sideline Jones reflects broader organizational challenges both on and off the field, with key figures like Dexter Lawrence expressing disappointment over the quarterback shakeup.
