My opinion before the draft was that a QB was the right move because Eli was close to done and it’s the most important position. They drafted Saquon who looks like a phenom, but he can only do so much.
My question is what do you guys think about the early returns on these QB’s? I know it’s early and a real assessment will take years, but what do you see now?
Let’s exclude Baker Mayfield (who looks good) because he was never an option for the Giants. That leaves Darnold, Allen and Rosen. What do you think so far?
Darnold
Allen
That would be my order
None have really impressed. Rosen looks good but his O-Line is shit and I don't think he has the longevity needed in a franchise QB (think Sam Bradford).
Allen's erratic.
But it would be hypocritical of me to dump on rookie QBs.
Year two will be more telling in that All four are in complete rebuilds.
Having Barkley will make it easier on a rookie QB.
