Breaking News: NY Giants will engage in a Blockbuster trade to sign 24 year old talented QB worth…

The first week of the NFL season is officially in the books and a number of quarterbacks turned in disappointing 2024 debuts.

 

Although some of those performances can be attributed to various external factors, several signal-callers are already under pressure for their brutal Week 1 showings.

 

Here’s a look at seven quarterbacks who struggled in Week 1, accompanied by a panic meter ranging from one to five — with one being the highest level of panic — as to how worried their respective teams should be.

 

Daniel Jones, New York Giants

Time’s running out for Jones in New York.

 

The Giants’ pursuit of a new quarterback was well documented during the offseason edition of “Hard Knocks,” and Jones’ performance in the team’s season-opening loss to Minnesota showed why New York wanted to replace him. The 27-year-old completed 52.4 percent of his passes for 186 yards and two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.

Giants ownership has backed Jones throughout his career, primarily because he entered a rather disastrous situation, having to play behind a revolving door of an offensive line without any quality weapons at his disposal.

 

Nonetheless, after New York revamped the O-line and drafted rookie WR Malik Nabers this past offseason, Jones has no excuses for his poor Week 1 outing, especially taking into account that his supporting cast was solid. According to Next Gen Stats, Jones had 2.82 seconds to throw per dropback, which ranked 12th in the NFL during Week 1, while Giants wideouts averaged 4.4 yards of separation, the fourth-best mark in the league.

 

No matter how he performs for the remainder of this season, it’d be shocking if the Giants don’t cut ties with Jones in the offseason.
