It was Ross Tucker and Bob Papa with him. Tucker, in particular, said the same thing 80 times about the G-men free agents signings (the word of the day was, "weird"), and kept going on about not re-signing Tuck. Schwartz, properly, responded that the Giants didn't think Tuck would be worth the money going forward. Schwartz clearly didn't think they'd take Ebron in the 1st, seemed to be leaning WR. Lots of discussion of the QB situation, mainly from the standpoint of "why bring in these guys when you drafted Nassib and have Painter". Schwartz was more like, "Well, they need guys to throw until Eli's ready."
If one of them earns a spot, so be it. But it says nothing about Nassib or Eli or anything else I've been reading here the past day or so
Especially that new wideout they inked. I think his name is Shiva. Hell of a catch radius.
No, it is not. Practice isn't just doing individual groups like QBs practicing their fundamentals and just going to team where they will run plays. They break off into groups. Sometimes the QBs will be with the running backs practicing handoffs. Sometimes they will be throwing routes. Sometimes QB may just be with the TEs while some others will be with the WRs. Two QBs is not even close to enough during camp.

That is a very good point that I myself overlooked.
Every year there are four quarterbacks in camp. Every year. This isn't new. Even when David Carr was the backup, there was Ryan Perrilloux or Anthony Wright or Rob Johnson on the back end.
This happens every year.
As if to say, see, we are signing Qbs because the team is down on Nassib. It's a waste of a pick and now we are going to bring in other qbs. Some may be curious to see Nassib play, and they see bringing in 1 or 2 Qbs will take reps away from him.
Basically it all comes down to they didn't like the pick.
The difference is that Favre is one of the top 10 quarterbacks in NFL history, while Eli has been one of the most overrated. If the latter bounces back, it will be to slightly above average -- not great.
