The 2024 season has been a terrible one for the New York Giants. Even though they didn’t have great hopes going into the season, Big Blue has lost its past seven games and will end the regular season with 10 or more losses for the ninth time in 11 seasons, making it an absolute failure. The Giants also severed their ties with the player they believed to be Eli Manning’s replacement this season when Daniel Jones was fired following more than five unsuccessful seasons. It’s easy to say that this New York team’s future is going to have more questions than answers, especially when it comes to these three issues they need to resolve for their supporters.
3 burning questions Giants fans need answered
3. Will the offense finally find their stride?
Not just this season, but over the past several years, New York’s offense has consistently ranked near the bottom of the league in nearly every category. While the team made the postseason in 2022, most of those wins were narrow one-score games, with the defense and a bit of luck carrying the load. Apart from that season, both the squad and its offense have been a disaster. Fans need answers before the season ends about whether this unit can finally find its rhythm.
Since the start of the 2022 season, the offense has scored 30 or more points in a regular-season game just three times. This is an alarming statistic. Big Blue averaged 21.2 points per game that year, ranking 18th in the league. In 2023, they managed only 15.6 points per game, which was 30th. This season, the team has hit rock bottom, averaging a league-worst 15.3 points per game.
The offense has been brutal to watch, particularly in 2024. They have yet to crack the 30-point mark in any game this year. Now, with the team all but certain to have a new quarterback leading the way next season, the question remains: can this unit finally turn things around?
2. Does this wide receiver have a future with the Giants after a disappointing 2024 season?
Despite the Giants offense struggling week after week, one once-promising draft pick has been unusually quiet this season, leaving fans puzzled. While rookie standout Malik Nabers hasn’t scored a touchdown since Week 3, the bigger question is: Where has Jalin Hyatt been? The young receiver showed potential in 2023, but his lack of involvement in 2024 raises serious concerns about his future in New York.
Big Blue drafted Hyatt in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and early signs suggested he could be a great fit. At Tennessee, Hyatt had a breakout season in 2022, racking up 1,267 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. His rookie season in the NFL, though scoreless, still had bright spots, including 23 catches for 373 yards and a 100-yard game in Week 12 that earned him Pepsi Offensive Rookie of the Week honors.
This year, however, Hyatt has just seven receptions for 53 yards and no touchdowns. He’s gone without a single catch in four separate games, and the Giants have shown little interest in giving him consistent opportunities. Fans are left wondering if the team is mismanaging his development or if Hyatt’s potential is better suited for another team. If the Giants remain reluctant to utilize him, it wouldn’t be surprising to see other teams inquiring about his availability.
1. How much longer is Brian Daboll’s leash as the Giants head coach?
Brian Daboll arrived in New York with high expectations, and in his first season, he delivered by leading the Giants to the playoffs and even securing a postseason win. Unfortunately, that success has been short-lived, and the Giants now find
