Paul Schwartz: Giants should trade for Jacoby Brissett

The Giants say they have a succession plan for life after Eli Manning. That plan cannot entirely wait until the 2019 draft, hoping they find one with a top-five pick. How about trading with the Colts for Jacoby Brissett?

in China. And in China, you've got a huge emerging market that doesn't know football yet, so a lot of potential customers who might think the Giants are good.

That's the only way trading for Brissett makes any sense.

but the Giants can’t afford to trade away any more assets, they need to be adding assets.
Awful idea

What do we give up though?

We can’t afford to give up more drat picks - we don’t have a 3rd
Round pick next year.
People sure do love Brissett, don't they?  
bceagle05 : 10/15/2018 9:04 pm : link
Can only imagine it's because Parcells vouched for him and Belichick won a game or two with him.
And you know why many argued for drafting a QB in 2018  
twostepgiants : 10/15/2018 9:07 pm : link
“Matt Williamson of John Clayton Football recently made the case for why that player should be Colts backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Williamson even offered the framework for a potential trade with the Giants and Colts involving Brissett.

According to Williamson, the Giants should send their 2019 NFL Draft second-round pick to the Colts for Brissett:”

A 2nd rounder for Jacoby Brissett.

Welcome to QB hell.
That's called QB hell

Snead to Morton to Dean to Goldsteyn to Pisarchick

Simms to Hoss to Simms to Brown to Kannell to Graham to Collins

Hopefully we don't go through that again

....offered a 2nd and Indy declined. At the rate they’re going Luck’s arm might fall off right on the field so his backup is pretty valuable.

Not so a second but would consider a fourth. Depends on if you think he has upside. He's only 25, he can move, and he has a year of starting under his belt. He was not great last year but not a complete disaster.

If he had been a first round pick, nobody would bat an eye at his performance last year and he would get trotted out for another year. Later round picks don't get that luxury and can sometimes be under valued as a result.

I'm not necessarily advocating it, but I don't think it's so crazy that I would dismiss it out of hand. For a fourth though. Not a 2.

That was suggested here a week ago.
So we trade a 2nd...

Draft a QB in first.
No 2nd or 3rd round picks.

Yeah, don’t think so.

Yea. Trading assets for marginal bets is bad. One of the benefits of a QB switch is having a cheap QB
Not a bad idea

Trading for Brisset? Seriously?  
FStubbs : 10/15/2018 9:35 pm : link
That would only make sense if you were making a run and needed an experienced backup just in case. Know where Brisset makes sense? Back in New England.

For a 1-5 team going nowhere? Nonsense.
Eli is better than Brissett, why would we? Now Carr is a thought

lax counsel : 10/15/2018 9:54 pm : link
Same Brissett that lead the colts to 4 wins and one of the worst offenses in the league in 2017?

If I’m trading assets it’s to move up for a guy like Herbert or Fromm in 2020. Not a guy destined as a career backup. QB hell indeed.

Yep, this seems like the perfect time to trade away draft capital

cjohn2979 : 10/15/2018 11:01 pm : link
Brady is 40 years old and near retirement yet Belichick clearly didnt think Brissett was a worthy successor to Brady so he traded him. If he's not good enough to replace Brady (or Andrew Luck if the Colts are willing to trade him) he's not good enough to replace Manning. Why should the Giants settle for someone two other teams were willing to get rid of?
Carr yes

trueblueinpw : 10/16/2018 7:00 am : link
Why? Give up a draft pick and get a backup to finish out of the playoffs and then draft a QB anyway? I can’t believe these guys make a living as writers. Eh, I guess it spawned a thread on BBI and got some clicks.
Hey I am all for moving on from Eli  
EricJ : 10/16/2018 7:09 am : link
But not to go with a career backup qb that is not on our roster. The only acceptable move here is to give the ball to lauletta. Everything else is just a waste of time and money
We already traded two picks for Ogletree and used on on Beal  
Heisenberg : 10/16/2018 8:08 am : link
now we're trading more for Brissett? Sportswriters, man.
Sportswriters think w/o thinking Drafting a QB this year  
TheMick7 : 10/16/2018 8:16 am : link
will allow the Giants the cap room needed to finally get better.Just look at the Rams,Eagles as examples. We don't need to trade a draft pick,instead if the losing trend continues, we need to move players for picks before the October 30th trade deadline!
If Eli leaves, the Giants will need to sign a vet FA before the draft  
Ivan15 : 10/16/2018 10:01 am : link
Regardless of whether they are thinking of a potential franchise QB in the draft.

You can’t dismiss guys like Brissett or Bridgewater or any other current backup.
Saw that article and thought 'what horrible click-bait'  
Dinger : 10/16/2018 2:34 pm : link
Why trade for a QB at all. So he can die behind a non-existant line in a scheme that doesn't get the ball to the 10 yard marker let alone the end zone?

If you get rid of Eli during this season you play Lauletta and tanney in that order. If you get rid of him in the off season, you draft a QB or build an O-line and then trade for one. No sense in putting the cart before the horse. Shurmur may have been great at developing young QBs or a great OC but he's a shite HC.....

I would have been in favor of signing Bridgewater.

Trading for Brissett would be stupid. No thanks.
