“””
The Giants’ head coach reiterated on Saturday the same sentiment that he expressed after the season, and what general manager Joe Schoen has said repeatedly throughout the offseason.
When healthy, Daniel Jones will be the Giants’ starting quarterback.
“We’re excited to have Drew [Lock], and he knows what his role is going to be,” Daboll told NFL Network on Saturday. “He’s going to get a lot of reps this spring, he needs to learn our system, but again excited to get Daniel back, when he gets back he’ll be the guy.”

Subterfuge or honesty? I think it’s honesty, pretty easily. Makes too much sense.

If he's cleared medically, keep going, get the #1 WR in place and if he flops again, you're in better position for a rookie QB next year, with a more digestible cap hit moving off DJ.
That said, if they have one of the rookies evaluated as a longterm franchise QB, be aggressive and go for it because you're in striking range.
Its fairly obvious.
"Actually, you know, DJ is suuuuuuuppppper messed up. His Neck is an issue, and going forward, you know we need to get up and pay as much as we can to get the guy to replace him."
"NE or WAS please pick up the phone and take our picks and players!"
" Nope Im tired of Daniel Jones.. I dont want him as the QB and we will DEFINITELY be looking to get a QB in the upcoming NFL draft by any means necessary!!"
seriously...

Daboll will be throwing his iPad again at clueless Danny.
And they will have 2 better options this year than last …
Lock plus whoever they draft.
Relax.
To me it makes zero sense. There is no way he can be your qb in 2025 so why wait? Id honestly rather see if Lock or another vet if they strike out in the draft.
Drafting a QB is a separate issue. If the QB the Giants want is there without destroying the draft or 2 drafts, you take him. Otherwise, just see what happens. I do favor getting a QB this year somewhere in the draft.

Andrew Luck is available? Hell yeah!
this, obviously
"We didn't extend OBJ to trade him"
Doesn’t mean pass on a franchise guy if there’s a chance this year, but teams desperate for QBs have all the high picks this year, so Giants likely will have to pivot to a WR1.
Coach Daboll remarked, "These electronic gadgets never seem to last as long as you think they will."
Amen! This is lying season so I take everything with a grain of salt. I have no idea what this team is going to do and I am glad for that.
TD% (below 32nd)
INT% (below 32nd)
SUCC% (30th)
Y/A (31st)
Y/G (32nd)
QB Rate (below 32nd)

At least there's one adult on this site
even if you think he can't coach.

Bingo.

I doubt Jones will even be the starter when he's healthy unless Lock has been terrible up to that point and they decide any rookie they draft isn't ready to play.
He literally had to say nothing. He chose to say something
