The New Orleans Saints are still awaiting the New York Giants decision on which quarterback they will be playing during their Week 14 matchup.
It felt like a longtime coming, but the Giants finally moved on from Daniel Jones a couple of weeks ago. Since then, both Drew Lock and Tommy Devito got their chances to start games. The results were eerily similar as New York also lost both games. Lock mostly got the start due to DeVito dealing with a forearm injury. Neither quarterback should scare this Saints defense, but knowing who they are facing would certainly help a game plan.
If DeVito is healthy, he will probably get the nod. Still, both quarterbacks have their positives and negatives. Lock started last week and completed 66% of his passes this season for 178 yards and one interception. He also picked up 57 yards and a touchdown on four rushes. The former second-round pick is the much more experienced option, but has a clear ceiling on what the Giants are willing to do with him under center. They don’t dial up much deep for him, at least to much success.
DeVito’s one game this season was pretty much the same. He completed 68% of his passes for 189 yards, picking up 32 yards on the ground from seven carries. The Syracuse product is clearly the fan-favorite, and could bring a little more excitement to a home game, but also doesn’t have the same juice that he had when he took over last season.
New Orleans might prefer they start DeVito, as they were able to handle him last year in a 24-6 win.
