New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones admitted to being "frustrated" after he was benched toward the end of his team's 28-3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

"I'm just going to continue to prepare and try to play as well as I can," he told reporters after the game. "[Head coach Brian] Daboll, it's his team. It's up to him to make that decision. Obviously, I believe in myself and believe in this offense. So, I'm just going to focus on myself."

Jones went 14-of-21 for 99 yards and was sacked seven times. Daboll said he brought on Drew Lock "just to create a spark" and that he doesn't plan on carrying the QB change through to Week 8.

For his part, Jones said he and Daboll didn't have "much of a conversation" and that Daboll indicated on the sideline he was "looking for a spark."

"As the quarterback, I think it's my responsibility to get everything going and build rhythm, build momentum, execute the opportunities that are there. And I take that seriously," he said. "I'll certainly look at myself first and see where I can improve. Football is a team game, and it takes everyone playing well. But I have a big role in that. Take that very seriously."

As much as Daboll tries to downplay the larger significance of Jones' benching, it looks as though the Giants are approaching a point of no return with the 27-year-old.

Jones' health was a focal point heading into the 2024 campaign, as he was limited to just six games in 2023 because of a neck injury and a torn ACL. The injuries last year were part of a disappointing campaign that saw the No. 6 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft go 1-5 as a starter with two touchdown passes and six interceptions.

That poor performance dialed up the pressure for Jones this season, and he has responded by completing 62.5 percent of his passes for 1,442 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions in seven games.

Jones' overall inconsistency has been a concern for the Giants, especially after they gave him a four-year, $160 million deal ahead of the 2023 season. They surely envisioned him as the future of the franchise when drafting and inking him to a new contract, but there have been question marks about his production.

Now, New York's faith could finally be wavering. It may not be a stretch to say the next few games could play a decisive role on Jones' long-term future in the Big Apple.
