Tommy DeVito Is Making Case to Be Giants QB Longterm

Tommy DeVito is more than a viral sensation, as he is proving to be at least a viable option for the New York Giants at quarterback.

00:00 Tommy DeVito's a great story and he's earned his place in the league.

00:03 But I think we need to pump the brakes a little bit before we decide he's the Giants' future

00:06 QB.

00:07 I agree.

00:08 I think he's a great story for this season and a season that's been obviously very disappointing

00:13 for them.

00:14 It gives the fans something to cheer for.

00:16 I think he's been great.

00:17 I mean, he's got a 96 passer rating in the four or five games he's played.

00:22 But no, I haven't seen enough evidence to say he's the quarterback of the future.

00:25 It's only a matter of time before the teams figure out what he's great at, what he doesn't

00:29 like to do, and you'll see some reverting back to the mean.

00:33 So we'll see.

00:34 I think for now it just gives us something to cheer for because it's not a lot to cheer

00:37 for if you're in New York at all.

00:40 Well, look, I mean, they're all of a sudden, I guess you could say working themselves back

00:45 into the playoff hunt if things break incredibly well in their favor.

00:50 But we always overfocus on the quarterback, right?

00:53 And DeVito has been good.

00:54 He made a clutch throw against the Packers.

00:56 But he's only got one game over 200 yards passing since he took over the job there.

01:01 A lot of other things have changed for the Giants as well.

01:04 Namely, the offensive line is providing some more protection than they did earlier in the

01:08 year.

01:09 And the defense has become a solid unit after getting run over at the beginning of the season

01:15 as well.

01:16 And those two differences make a big difference regardless of who's playing quarterback.
