Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Somehow, Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers in Munich felt like it would be the setting for a final decision on Daniel Jones’ career as a New York Giant. Many would say that the decision was already obvious, yet Jones has continued as the Giants’ starting quarterback, despite a season alternating between terrible performances (Minnesota, Cincinnati, Philadelphia) and outings in which he played well but never could light up the scoreboard (both Washington games, Dallas), with only the surprising victory in Seattle looking anything like what one would expect of a QB with a 4 year, $160M contract.
