At gym listening to Big Blue Kick Off, from yesterday
They just addressed the internet battle between Giants fans in regard to drafting quarterback.
They said, Giants stated before draft, Davis Webb would have no bearing on whom they drafted. Said Gettleman made himself clear that he does not buy into the "positional value" idea, he believes you draft the best athlete.
I did not know that, but it certainly is revealing. It s not necessarily true that the Giants did not value these quarterbacks, just that they valued Barkley more.
To be fair, none of them had quite the same level of production as Davis.
Quote:
But for me personally, I think Rosen could be good, but I think Darnold will be elite. I think he will be better than guys like Matt Ryan or Stafford. I like Darnold more than any QB since Luck.
No offense but I’ll take the judgment of dg and his staff over some guy behind a keyboard. Not saying he’s right and your wrong or your right and he’s wrong
definitely the QB. it's not even close.
that said, I'm super excited about having SB on the team.
A better question is, who would you rather draft, Barry Sanders or Steve Walsh? Because Walsh was the first QB chosen after Sanders was.
He doesn't exactly prove you need to spend a top 5 pick when a QB is available to get a QB of franchise caliber.
