Daniel Jones is not solely responsible for the Giants' struggles, according to GM Joe Schoen.

The Giants enter their bye week with a 2-8 record, tied for the worst in the NFL, and numerous uncertainties as they attempt to revive their season.

On Tuesday, Giants GM Joe Schoen discussed the team's current situation, particularly concerning struggling quarterback Daniel Jones.

Since being signed to a four-year, $160 million extension before the start of last season, Jones has gone 3-13 in games he's started, leading many fans to say his time as a starter should end.

Schoen, like head coach Brian Daboll, stated that the team will assess every position during the bye week and make "football decisions" based on the evaluation.

Despite Jones' poor play on offense, Schoen did not single him out for the team's struggles, which include being dead last in points per game (15.6), 23rd in total offense (309.7 yards per game), and 24th in passing offense (189.8 yards per game).

Schoen clarified that while the question may seem to target the quarterback, it's not just him, as everyone involved is responsible. As the quarterback, offensive coordinator, and head coach, they all have a role to play. While Daniel has had some good games, there are also instances where he could have made different decisions. However, it's not a specific individual or situation that keeps recurring, unfortunately.

"We are 2-8. Everyone, including myself, must examine ourselves in the mirror and consider ways to improve, as we will continue to do so. I understand that you want to inquire about Daniel and the quarterback position. That is a natural consequence of being in this market. However, it is not solely the responsibility of one individual."

While the Giants' defense has struggled to stop the run game, it ranks 17th in total yards allowed per game and 15th in points allowed per game.

The Giants have a 1-5 record in one-score games this season, and Schoen emphasized the importance of executing in critical moments to transform losses into victories.

The Giants had a golden opportunity to win against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in Germany, but they squandered it by throwing two interceptions, one of which was a pass that hit off the helmet of an incoming Jadeveon Clowney and the other thrown behind Tyrone Tracy Jr., who couldn't catch it.

Jones missed key opportunities, such as wide open receivers on a flea flicker on a third and 1, which angered Daboll on the sideline after Jones suffered a sack.

Despite not benchmarking Jones this season, except during a blowout loss to the Eagles, critics contend that Jones should have been substituted in earlier games in favor of backup Drew Lock.

Schoen, who plans to return as the team's GM next season, faces a significant decision with an opt-out in Jones' contract set to be exercised after the 2024 campaign. Despite having a career year in 2022, Jones has not shown the franchise anything positive since then, and it would cost just over $22 million in dead cap money to break the deal.

In the deal, Jones has a $23 million injury guarantee, which means he will receive that amount if he fails a physical in March, regardless of whether he performs well or not.

The decision at quarterback following the bye week will be revealed to Giants fans.
