Well, that didn’t take long. With so much promise for the NY Giants this offseason, fans have been brought back to earth thanks to a very disappointing start against the Tennessee Titans. Plain and simple, the offense doesn’t appear to have a clue of what they’re doing and an early touchdown from the Titans was rough to see.
With the offense looking sluggish, it of course means that people aren’t going to be too happy with starting quarterback Daniel Jones. Matter of fact, fans haven’t wasted any time in calling him out on social media.
Giants have looked rough to open Week 1
Indeed, Jones hasn’t been playing well and the offensive line isn’t helping him out whatsoever. Because of this, there’s folks out there who are calling for backup signal-caller Tyrod Taylor to take over and run the O.
Taylor was signed to bring competition to the position, but no one expected people to want him to take over this early on. The first quarter hadn’t even come to a close before people were calling for Jones to hit the bench. It’s not just him who has struggled, though, as the offensive line is getting man-handled by Tennessee’s defensive line.
Daboll was hoping for his new team to start things off with a bang, but that just hasn’t been the case thus far. Instead, the Giants are having so many people out there scratching their heads, while Tennessee supporters are loving what they’re seeing.
NY fans really are letting Daniel Jones have it on social media
If you take a look on Twitter, people indeed are going after Jones. The first quarter was rough for him, as he couldn’t power the G-Men to a single first down. That’s just not going to get the job done and he’s got to start slinging the ball around a little better.
Again, people were excited to see Jones in this new offense. The expectation was that he’d be able to operate things smoothly to open the year and make offensive coordinator Mike Kafka look smart. So far, that’s a big swing and a miss.
Is Tyrod Taylor healthy enough to play? Daniel Jones is a fucking failure. #NYGvsTEN

I'd trade Daniel Jones for most backups in the league.

Those are only a few examples of the kinds of tweets that are being sent Jones’ way. It’s going to be a long day for him unless Kafka starts calling some better plays to help him out too. Matter of fact, this could be a terrible sign of things to come for the G-Men. While Tennessee is a good team, it’s not like they’re invincible. Leave it to the Giants to make them look like Super Bowl contenders.
Tennessee offense looking sharp early on too
With Jones and the Giants offense being painful to watch, the same can’t be said for the Titans. Tennessee jumped out to an early 7-0 lead thanks to a solid TD pass by Tannehill. While the Giants were able to keep things tight on the next series, the Titans have still been able to move the ball around efficiently.
With this, Tannehill is rolling and everyone in Nashville is loving it. That’s the difference in having a veteran quarterback with experience and having one who simply hasn’t been able to live up to the hype of being a No. 6 overall pick. Tannehill has people in Tennessee believing this team can make serious noise in the postseason.
On the other side of the field, it really feels like it’s a new year, but the same kind of headaches for the Giants. No one is going to give up on Daboll this early in his career with the Giants. The same can’t be said for Jones, though, as he hasn’t looked good against the Titans and people already can’t wait to see if Daboll will rock with Taylor sooner than later.
3 players the NY Giants should look to trade away this season
Entering the 2022 NFL season, the NY Giants have plenty of players on the roster they could move on from in order to get better, or rebuild and gain assets.
