I know that they keep saying how Alex Tanney is a good QB-room presence, but is he the future for the Giants' backup QB position?
With the report that the Giants sent three scouts to the New York Guardians game this past weekend and with Kevin Gilbride being its HC, is Matt McGloin a possibility? I know it's too early to tell, but is there a possibility of another XFL QB potentially being brought in? Or will the Giants look to another more experienced Josh McCown-like QB, who has experience but are career backups? Or will we draft one in the later rounds?
Somehow you think that it's a zero sum game that if we talk about looking for a backup QB, it's going to somehow take away from us building a team.
This is a discussion board where nothing we say or do amount to shit about this team's future, and there are enough threads on drafts and free agents to devote one threat to a topic we don't really talk about. Give me a break.
I think Mariota needs to be researched as well. I would promote that move if it fits.
VIG I thought of him as well. Mariotta could go to Baltimore to back up Lamar Jackson.

Backup QB is legit concern, especially with DJ's running style. He doesn't necessarily take contact in the smartest way.
It's obviously not a "who cares" type of subject, because backup QB is important, but why is BBI so obsessed with this?
For the record; Tanney and another vet like Marriotta (if possible).
That who the Giants will go after.
This
Marcus Mariota (at the right price)
Case Keenum
Matt Moore (if he doesn't retire obviously)
Blake Bortles
Mike Glennon
Chase Daniel
Nate Sufeld
Miami is reportedly keeping Fitzpatrick but if they did change their mind he would move to the top of my wish list. If Miami does what everyone expects them to do and takes a QB in round 1 I would give them a call and offer a conditional 6th round pick next year for Rosen. Rosen still has three years left on his contract and would give the Giants another talented young QB.
They should only keep 3 if they sign a solid backup QB and use a day 3 pick on a developmental type. There is no reason to carry Tanney on the roster. If they value him so much off the field they should release him and offer him an assistant QB coach job. He might try to find another job but once he realizes he isn't going to find one a coaching job will look much better than unemployment.

We have so many needs on this team, worrying about the backup QB is the least of our problems. Let's start with the 22 starters, lets get them done 1st then we can worry about a guy noone wants to see play. Garrett can go in for all I care.

Backup QB is only a legit concern when your team actually wins game. We have won 12 games in 3 seasons and its not because our backup QB had to play. We have a backup under contract. i would say backup QB is way down the list on important offseason moves. for reference, Dallas Cowboys backup QB was an undrafted FA who's scouting combine info is below:
He received an invitation to the NFL combine and performed almost all of the required drills except for the bench press. He had an underwhelming lackluster performance and had some of the lowest marks at the combine.[14] On March 20, 2017, Rush participated at Central Michigan's pro day and chose to attempt the vertical jump, broad jump, short shuttle, and three-cone drill once again. He gave a slower time in the three-cone drill (7.28), but was able to have better results in the vertical (30"), broad (8'11"), and short shuttle (4.46). He was among ten players from CMU, Northern Michigan, and Ferris State to perform combine and positional drills for scouts and team representatives from the NFL. Rush was ranked the 14th best quarterback prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com
Dallas was actually a legit contender and thats what they had as a backup. just sayin
Blake Bortles signed for only $1 million with the Rams last year. He's not my favorite option but his skill set is similar to Jones and he has a lot of starting experience. If he could be signed for that cheap then he makes an intriguing option for the Giants. Mariota is obviously the best option but I think he will want more than the Giants are willing to spend as well as a better opportunity to start.
The most prolific QB the Giants ever drafted!
I disagree. I've seen too many backup qb's having to leave a game with an injury. Sign a decent vet and draft a rookie on day 3.
I hear he is coming here on a price it deal. Vet min ;-)
He'd be a great back-up if someone better came along
So you think Rosen is "another talented young QB" but you also think that Miami would trade him to the Giants for a 6th round pick?
And not even a straight 6th round pick, you think it should be a conditional pick and that Miami should have to wait until the 2021 draft to collect?
LOL.
Rosen can't be possibly be young, talented and cost controlled on one hand and worth next to nothing on the other hand.
This sounds like one of those trades that someone would call in to WFAN.
Remember that when Judge was at Alabama, the quarterback was A.J. Mc Carron. Mc Carron redshirted in 2009, which was also Judge's 1st year with the Tide.
Mc Carron only signed a one year contract with the Texans, so he is a Free Agent. He also started a game for the Texans last year.
Mc Carron is still only 29, will be inexpensive, and perhaps makes the most sense to Judge.
