Damn, I was expecting them to bring in Brady as our backup.

Why is this FO so incompetent?
McCoy is a decent QB.....  
Simms11 : 3/19/2020 8:20 pm : link
this is a good signing as a back up.
He can win a game?

But jeeze, you guys really have a vendetta for Tanney though, did he steal your girls?


That would be too easy; must be something else.

He has played for lousy teams.
It's an interesting signing  
AdamBrag : 3/19/2020 8:50 pm : link
because I think it means that the offense will look different then the Cowboys offense. McCoy isn't a good fit for a true vertical passing offense and is more of a WCO QB.
Not a bad use of 1.5 mil  
rasbutant : 3/19/2020 8:56 pm : link
I’m cool with that.

Can’t imagine Flacco signing for less than 6mil = Case Keenum.
He will probably never see the field .  
TMS : 3/19/2020 9:04 pm : link
Good sounding board who knows QB the position and loaded with FB knowledge that jones needs. We could have done worse. Judge does his homework, give him a chance to win or fail or get a life.
Better than Tanney - he'll be a good backup to Jones  
PatersonPlank : 3/19/2020 9:08 pm : link
of course we have to see how good he is in the "qb room"
Ideally he only sees time late in the 4th quarter  
Jay on the Island : 3/19/2020 9:08 pm : link
when the game has already been decided. If that's the case then this was a great signing as he is a great veteran mentor for Jones and he is far cheaper than other options like Case Keenum.

I hope the Giants use one of their 7th round picks on a developmental QB to push Tanney off the roster. It would be good to keep Tanney through training camp but he should be cut at the end of the preseason.
22 fumbles in 39 career games.

Torrag : 3/19/2020 9:40 pm : link
I doubt we carry three QB's. That's usually reserved for seasons where a new QB is cutting his teeth or unusual circumstances. Maybe that changes with the expanded game day rosters but I doubt it. We'll see.

As far as drafting one late that is all about the talent left on the board. I don't see too many QB's drafted after the 4th/5th round area surviving camp.
Always liked him in college  
uconngiant : 3/19/2020 10:07 pm : link
thin but played well when thrown into a tough situation. Better than Tanney

I’d prefer to carry two but with rosters expanded to 55 players it makes it easier to carry 3 QB’s especially if you’re developing a young prospect. Imagine the benefit of having a day 3 pick as Jones’ backup. The cap savings alone would allow the giants to use the savings elsewhere.

Well then I suggest you start giving a shit about our competition that’s handled us with ease the better part of the last decade. Or continue to accept mediocrity. It’s a shame that’s become the norm around here.

Last year I really liked Jake Dolegala going into be draft and I wanted the Giants to draft him with one of their 7th round picks even after Jones was selected. Dolegala was/is raw but he has a lot of talent. He flashed in the preseason and he might be Burrows primary backup next season.
I like this signing

They have weapons especially if Slayton takes a step forward next season. The offensive line is in desperate need of another OT and a center. They could also use another WR but they are in pretty good shape there with Slayton, Tate, and Shepard. Also Corey Coleman is returning.

There is a difference between "accepting mediocrity" and simply not pissing and moaning over every little move.

They needed a vet backup. McCoy is as good as any. You aren't going to get a Superbowl mvp at the backup QB spot. This is as good as it gets.

You guys bitch and bitch but nobody offers any better options. You all think you're geniuses, so let's have it, who is out there better that would sign as a backup?
No offense, but if they got too good a backup,  
George from PA : 3/20/2020 5:05 am : link
Who thinks he can still play.....he won't be there helping ...but competing.....does this team really need a QB controversy?

also any better will cost more..... right guy, right price.

When I heard rumors of Flacco.....I thought, why not just try to resign Eli for 5/6 million.


I like McCoy  
Matt G : 3/20/2020 7:19 am : link
Solid signing
Have you not figured this out by now  
SteelGiant : 3/20/2020 7:44 am : link
Some of us demand an All-Pro at every position, even the backups should be at least perennial pro bowlers AND we should only need to vet mins.

Any signing outside of this view is ludicrous.
Solid move by Jints Central  
Rick in Dallas : 3/20/2020 7:50 am : link
Exactly who you want as a Backup QB.
jeeez the stupidity here by some posters is just like the Fleming  
Victor in CT : 3/20/2020 8:27 am : link
thread from yesterday. they signed competent veteran backup QB, end of story. what's so terrible to prompt:

*Philly and Dallas must be trembling in fear with all these additions we made.
*Yes starting experience Seven starts since 2012. LOL. (HE'S NOT HERE TO START)
*But I HATE this waste of perfectly good cap money on a guy who just isn't a good QB. (SEE ABOVE. HE IS A BACKUP.)
*He'll be good for the 3-4 games when Jones has his pre-destined injury (UGH!)
* What year did hwe win his last game? (this one speaks for itself)

Man oh Manishewitz. I swear if they win the SB people here will complain that DG got finger prints on the Lombardi Trophy.
What Rick and Victor said just above this post.

maybe like only 3 guys have made disparaging posts about this signing. Two of which look to be made to get a rise out of some of you all.

Why take the bait or do you just like to be the actual complainers?
The way some dismiss these athletes  
joeinpa : 3/20/2020 9:12 am : link
Makes me wonder if they ve ever been near a professional athlete.

Colt McCoy being dismissed by guys sitting at home from a computer is laughable.

I know several athletes who have played division 1 and 3 or 4 who have been in the NFL; they are unbelievably talented and tough.

Colt McCoy hasn’t been in the NFL for several years because he stinks. That s not the way the NFL works.
I like this move.  
Section331 : 3/20/2020 9:38 am : link
Colt is a guy who is no longer looking to necessarily be a starter. He's smart, tough, and has won some games. He'll be able to help DJ with his experience and smarts, and be competent in the event he needs to step in.
some of you like to be angry

Fresh take. Really.

Every fucking move is met with the same lazy, tired and irrelevant complaints. Go take a walk. Maybe you should drink more.

There you go, maybe Judge won't fall in love with having
Tanney 'be good in the QB room'. What a joke to waste a roster spot on Tanney.
Sure Judge, Garret and DG thought hard about this move

Sorry, man. Unlike you, I don't praise 95% of the moves this franchise makes. And even if you just want to limit it to the past 2 seasons (in which this front office has been in charge), they haven't exactly made all that many good FA signings. Draft is different for them, but FA has been sub-par.

If you can't handle people being critical of their favorite sports team winning 9 games in the last 2 seasons combined, then maybe you should take the walk. The bubble that exists here for some fans is laughable. Wake the fuck up. This team has been garbage the past 2 years (and far more than that if you wish to go back further). And I'm sure Colt McCoy was on plenty of fans' 'want to sign' lists before he got signed. Give me a fucking break.

If you were to come here the past 2 (and even more) offseasons and just go by certain posters' posts on our signings, you would think this team had made the postseason the past 2 seasons (at the very least). Not every move is 'great' or even 'good.' The on-field results MORE than bare that out. Sorry that reality has sucked for this team for awhile now, but take it out on the fucking people in charge and not other posters. Jackasses.

released by the Colts today. He also would have been a nice backup QB option. He has the New England experience.
