3 reasons the NY Giants should sit Daniel Jones for the rest of the season

2. Tyrod Taylor is a proven NFL QB

Many forget just how electric Tyrod Talor truly is as an NFL talent. In 2020, Taylor beat out star quarterback Justin Herbert out of NFL Training Camp and was deemed the starter by head coach Brandon Staley until a doctor punctured Taylor’s lung. The injury was very severe and caused Taylor to miss the majority of the season and paved the way for Herbert.

The former Virginia Tech Hokie has appeared in 85 career games, starting 53 of them, and has just 26 career interceptions. One may think it is due to the fact that Tayor does not throw as much as Jones, yet he has eclipsed over 2,798 passing yards three times in every season that he has started in over 14 games.

Taylor also excels at the deep ball which is something the Giants desperately needed to try and revive its offense. In 2015 with the Buffalo Bills, Taylor was top five in the NFL with nearly a 50 percent completion rate on balls thrown over 20 yards for the majority of the season. Daniel Jones this year is under 19 percent and has not been trying to force the ball downfield when losing, which has hurt the team’s comeback efforts.

Taylor also had the Bills on the cusp of a playoff berth in 2015 before suffering an injury that would end his campaign. His talent can lead the Giants to a few wins and get the team back on track before this season is a complete bust.

Taylor is an NFL veteran who has a Pro Bowl selection under his name and sports over a .500 winning percentage in his career, so what are the Giants doing by not giving him a shot?
