Two things became abundantly clear following the New York Giants 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers (3-7) on Sunday in Germany. One is that the loss enhanced New York’s chances of landing the number one pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and the other is that it’s time for the team to move on from Daniel Jones immediately.

At 2-8, this is a lost season for New York, and now they need to shift their focus and start planning for the future, which begins with benching Jones. The team is heading into the bye week, which is the perfect opportunity to prepare either Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito to be the starter when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 24th.

Here are three reasons why the team needs to bench Jones in favor of Lock or Devito.
