Giants QB call could determine what the real priority is in lost season

ARLINGTON, Tex.– The old saying goes that when a football team has two quarterbacks, it actually has no quarterback.Do the Giants – losers of seven straight – have a quarterback controversy brewing between close friends Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock in the aftermath of cutting 10-game starter Daniel Jones?Who will head coach Brian Daboll turn to Dec.
