NY Giants grades and MVP from embarrassing loss to the Cowboys

After Sunday’s disastrous loss to the Dallas Cowboys the NY Giants move to 4-10 on the season with no hope left.

In a game where the NY Giants turned the ball over four times, the game seemed like it was over way before it actually ended, and was never as close as the final, 21-6 indicated.

Throughout this game, it became more and more obvious as to how awful this NY Giants offense is.

However, the NY Giants gained a spark late in the fourth quarter, when backup QB Jake Fromm replaced Mike Glennon and proceeded to complete 6 of his 12 passes for 82 yards in one drive, with two of his incompletions being drops.

In Fromm’s singular drive he arguably achieved more than Glennon had all game. It is logical to think that Jake Fromm will be starting the remainder of the season if Daniel Jones is unable to return.

With that being said, here are some grades, alongside the MVP from this week’s embarrassing loss to the Cowboys: 

NY Giants QB Mike Glennon: F

In a game that is hopefully his last for the NY Giants, Mike Glennon looked like one of the worst quarterbacks I have ever watched play.

Completing 13 of his 24 passes for 99 yards and 3 interceptions, it’s a wonder NY Giants head coach Joe Judge didn’t go to Fromm earlier than 4:16 remaining.

Glennon failed to make simple throws and reads throughout the entire game and it quite literally cost the NY Giants the game.

If the NY Giants are smart they continue to play Jake Fromm over Glennon.

Not only if Fromm younger, he also has way more potential. In a situation similar to the Matt Peart over Nate Solder debate, if you are going to play a bad QB, play the young one.

While Fromm was far from bad during his time at QB today, it is unknown if this level of play will continue in the future.

As previously mentioned, Glennon threw 3 interceptions this game. While the first one may not necessarily be his fault, the rest are all on him.

Glennon’s first interception came on 3rd and 5 with 6:51 remaining in the first quarter. He took the snap, dropped back, and after Will Hernandez seemingly let Demarcus Lawrence run through, Glennon was hit while throwing and the ball was then caught by Jourdan Lewis for an interception.

While again, this is not 100% Mike Glennon’s fault, it does not take away the fact that it was an interception.

Mike Glennon’s 2nd interception came on 2nd and 7 at the start of the 4th quarter. Glennon faked the run on play-action, looked deep, and tossed the ball behind Sterling Shepard and directly into the hands of Malik Hooker.

Glennon not only threw the ball behind Shepard, but he also threw it into double coverage. This is unacceptable for any QB in the NFL, let alone Glennon, who has had starting experience in the past.

In what was probably Glennon’s worst throw of the day, coming off a huge strip sack fumble by Lorenzo Carter, the NY Giants had the ball at the Cowboys 27 yard line.

Glennon took the snap, feeling the pressure he rolled out left and threw a pass directly into the hands of Trevon Diggs for his 10th interception on the season.

I really don’t have many other words for this throw. It is just simply one of the worst, most ill-advised throws I have seen in a long time.

Mike Glennon spent the majority of this game failing to make simple reads and passes and it cost the NY Giants big time. Expect to not see much of Glennon for the remainder of the season after this game.
