Tommy DeVito is more than a viral sensation, as he is proving to be at least a viable option for the New York Giants at quarterback.

00:00 Tommy DeVito's a great story and he's earned his place in the league.
00:03 But I think we need to pump the brakes a little bit before we decide he's the Giants' future
00:06 QB.
00:07 I agree.
00:08 I think he's a great story for this season and a season that's been obviously very disappointing
00:13 for them.
00:14 It gives the fans something to cheer for.
00:16 I think he's been great.
00:17 I mean, he's got a 96 passer rating in the four or five games he's played.
00:22 But no, I haven't seen enough evidence to say he's the quarterback of the future.
00:25 It's only a matter of time before the teams figure out what he's great at, what he doesn't
00:29 like to do, and you'll see some reverting back to the mean.
00:33 So we'll see.
00:34 I think for now it just gives us something to cheer for because it's not a lot to cheer
00:37 for if you're in New York at all.
00:40 Well, look, I mean, they're all of a sudden, I guess you could say working themselves back
00:45 into the playoff hunt if things break incredibly well in their favor.
00:50 But we always overfocus on the quarterback, right?
00:53 And DeVito has been good.
00:54 He made a clutch throw against the Packers.
00:56 But he's only got one game over 200 yards passing since he took over the job there.
01:01 A lot of other things have changed for the Giants as well.
01:04 Namely, the offensive line is providing some more protection than they did earlier in the
01:08 year.
01:09 And the defense has become a solid unit after getting run over at the beginning of the season
01:15 as well.
01:16 And those two differences make a big difference regardless of who's playing quarterback.
