This season hasn't been one to remember so far for the New York Giants. They're down to their third starting quarterback and just lost their eighth game of the season. After making the playoffs last season, Brian Daboll's crew has looked lost numerous times throughout this season.
Third-string QB Tommy Devito is going to help New York get a top pick in the draft, as he just doesn't seem anywhere near ready to be a starter. Daboll's offense is lackluster with the undrafted rookie under center.
Daniel Jones tore his ACL in Week 9, but even when he was on the field this season the offense was still lackluster. It could've been him, but the receiving core and coaching staff certainly weren't doing Jones any favors.
Losing to the Dallas Cowboys for the second time this season by at least 30 points is not plausible, no matter how much fans might want to see New York tank. The Giants have fallen to 2-8, and owner John Mara was hoping to reach the postseason for the second consecutive season.
With that being said, questions will need to be answered. Here are a few Giants who should be let go after a disastrous first ten games.
3. Fire Mike Kafka
The Giants offense is terrible this season. They've scored the fewest points in the NFL this season, along with having the third-fewest yards gained this season. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka is the man calling the shots, which means he'll likely be the one to take the fall.
Even with Jones under center, Kafka's offense wasn't good. In six games this season, Jones had only two passing touchdowns to five interceptions.
New York does have talent to work with on the offensive side. Over the offseason, the Giants brought in some new pieces, such as Darren Waller to add to the offense, and they retained star running back Saquon Barkley.
Players haven't been put in the right position to succeed this season, and that falls on the coaching. The Giants have scored more than 20 points once this season, which is an alarming problem. After another lousy performance against the Cowboys in Week 10, it might be time for New York to part ways with Kafka.
2. Bench Darius Slayton
Through the first ten weeks, Darius Slayton has zero touchdowns and just 331 yards. In his fifth season with the Giants, the 26-year-old hasn't gotten into a groove.
New York has talented receivers who could benefit from getting more reps at this point in the season. Jalin Hyatt and Wan'Dale Robinson are two young pieces that could turn into legitimate threats in the future.
It's hard to blame Slayton for his struggles considering the awful QB play from the Giants this season, but numbers don't lie. He's been held to under 40 receiving yards seven times this season, even though he's on the field more than any other Giants wideout.
With the way the seasons going and the young receivers ready to take on more action, it's time for Slayton to take a backseat.
1. Bench Tyrod Taylor
Tyrod Taylor has been out the last two games due to an injury to his ribs, but even when he's back he should remain on the bench. The Giants should be fully committed to getting a top pick in the upcoming draft, and rolling out Devito as the starter is the way to do that.
The veteran QB has started three games for the Giants this season, and both games they lost were one-score games not on him. In a win over the Washington Commanders, Taylor recorded 304 total yards and two touchdowns.
New York isn't making the playoffs this year, and they might need to start a search for a new franchise QB. The upcoming draft class features a ton of talented pass throwers, such as Caleb Williams, Shadeur Sanders, Drake Maye, and others.
With seven games left to go, the Giants should put themselves in the best position to get the highest pick possible. If that means sitting the best option at QB, then so be it.
