The New York Giants and Jets sinking deeper into despair. The NFL season’s early stages paint a grim picture for both teams. Despite the hype preceding their campaigns, these two New York squads find themselves mired in adversity, leaving fans and experts alike questioning which team is in the bleakest situation. NFL aficionados recently witnessed a fiery debate on ESPN’s First Take, featuring notable analysts Pat McAfee, Stephen A. Smith, and Shannon Sharpe.

The topic of contention: the woeful prospects of the Giants and Jets. As football fans approach Week 5 of the NFL season, both New York teams face a barrage of criticism. The Giants have suffered three losses in four outings, while the Jets share an identical lamentable record.

The question: Giants or Jets, who has it worse?

McAfee kicked off the discussion by highlighting the predicament of Giants’ quarterback, Daniel Jones. Although Jones exhibited flashes of brilliance last year. Complicating matters further is Jones’s hefty contract, which binds the Giants until the end of the upcoming season. As McAfee succinctly put it, they’re stuck with him.

Molly Qerim, the host of First Take, posed this very question to Pat McAfee. He responded that Daniel Jones’s contract and poor record make the Giants’ situation worse, and they can’t change it until after next season. McAfee further added, “So, [Brian] Daboll and Danny Dimes [Daniel Jones] had a little bit of a situation on the side where he’s throwing a Microsoft Surface [tablet].” McAfee thinks the Giants are in a tougher spot than the Jets, “For me, I think they are in a more hopeless situation than the New York Jets.”

With the ESPN stage set for a showdown of words, Shannon Sharpe & Stephen A. Smith seized the moment to add their perspective, concurring with McAfee’s assessment.

Sharpe and Smith echo Pat McAfee on the Giants

3× Super Bowl champion Sharpe emphasized, “Both hopeless neither going anywhere,” and to the dire state of the Giants, Sharpe stated – “I will agree with you, Pat McAfee. It’s because of Daniel Jones and his contract. Is that what hope you have?” He cited the Giants struggling offensive line, Saquon Barkley’s injury, and the unlikely prospect of Aaron Rodgers performing miraculous feats following an Achilles tear.

Sharpe replied to McAfee, “Aaron Rodgers somehow can miraculously do something that no other human being has ever done: return from an Achilles tear, repair, and come back and play football inside of five months, something that’s never been done before.”

But Stephen A. Smith delivered the final blow to the Giants’ hopes, revealing a grim statistic: their minus-eight turnover margin, second only to the Raiders in futility. In a shocking twist, the Giants find themselves as the sole team in the entire league without a single turnover. Smith’s verdict was unequivocal: “New York Giants are even worse than the New York Jets, It is hopeless.”
