It's not that difficult.

Again, what do you think Schoen is going to say?

They'll take a QB if they think he's a franchise changing QB and if the opportunity presents itself. Which is what they should do.

Not being happy with Jones' play this season is not some mystery novel. Of course they aren't happy with what happened and then the injury.

can't roll into 2025 with Jones and Devito in their QB room.

Schoen was careful how to treat the reality of Jones situation for 2024 only. Very little if any praise, but avoided direct criticism.

We all know Jones/Giants are stuck together for 2024 due to contract guarantees/cap hit, plus injury.

team that is happy with its QB doesn't draft a QB in the first round because of "BPA."

They do so either because they want to replace the existing starter or that guy is nearing the end.

Now Schoen may be perfectly happy with Jones and wants to be deliberately vague. But I doubt it.


You are failing to recognize that taking a QB because you want to replace one doesn't mean that it is the right thing to do. If you take the 3rd or 4th "best" QB in the draft and pass on the 2nd WR or best edge player, that would be a bad decision.


This is ridiculous. How do you know the QB that Schoen may draft at say #7 who happens to be the third QB taken is not the best of the bunch? Or that he is infinitely better than the first edge player taken? Are you saying everybody's evaluation is same and how they are drafted is how they will play in the NFL?

How do you type these things?

I agree you can't win in the NFL without a QB, but the absolute worst thing this team can do is force a pick just because it's a QB. That's how jobs are lost (and never regained). Last thing this team needs is to draft Christian Hackenberg...

I don't understand your point or your argument.

Teams don't go BPA with a QB in the first round. They do so because they are looking to change QBs.

You're acting like this is the same as selecting a CB or WR.

Jones can't throw TD passes. That's kind of important.

You're confusing two different decisions and trying to make them as if they are one decision.

The decision to draft a QB in 2019 was the correct one.

Daniel Jones was the wrong choice.

Yes. But the team has painted themselves into a corner.

If Schoen and Daboll go 5-12 next year with Daniel Jones, YOU (and everyone else) will want them fired.

If Daniel Jones is on IR on November with another neck injury, YOU (and everyone else) will want them fired.

There are a bunch of QBs in this draft. They have no option but to take one.

I mean the trade, draft, and free agency market.

Schoen is establishing his hand with his competitors. And at the same time he has to maneuver in his own seat.

In November, there's no upside for him to imply anything other than Jones will be the starter when he's healthy.

Schoen has to 1) convince his boss it's time to move on 2) go find an upgrade.

Implying today to the press he's doing either doesn't benefit him.

ryanmkeane : 11/27/2023 11:17 am : link
Eric, I will clarify my point:

Let's say the Giants get the 6th or 7th pick. Let's say Chicago/New England/Arizona fight to the death for Williams and Maye, and whether there are trades involved or not, those two guys are gone within the first 3 picks.

Then let's say Joe Schoen DOESN'T draft a quarterback at where the Giants pick. Let's say they draft Malik Nabers, or even trade down.

What I'm saying is - if Joe Schoen doesn't take a QB in that slot, it would mean he does not see the value in doing it, because he either A) doesn't believe in any of those QBs available at that time or B) he wants to take the prospect that he believes is a much better prospect at that draft position.

If Joe Schoen does not take a QB with their first 3 picks in the draft, and instead goes edge, WR, OL.....everyone will say Schoen sucks.

What I'm saying is that Schoen is not going to force pick a QB he doesn't like. That would be really fucking stupid, and the Giants can continue to build the roster and even get a QB in 2025 if Jones doesn't progress beyond what we saw in 2022.

That is it. This shouldn't be that hard to understand.

No, and everyone doesn't say the same thing.

Reaching for Daniel Jones is one thing. Sticking with him is another. And providing him a second is yet another.

What the majority of posters are aligned on is that we need to upgrade at QB and this draft likely offers that chance based on volume of QBs and draft position.

He is going to maneuver to get one of the top four QBs on his draft board. If he doesn't, I doubt he survives to 2025.

And no, Schoen and Daboll are not going to be fired after the 2024 season if the Giants go 5-12 with Daniel Jones. We can't keep doing this dance every 2-3 seasons.

Kyle Shanahan had 4 shitty seasons early on with SF. Stability matters if you think you have the right GM and coach. The Giants do.

The other comment that jumped out was Schoen bluntly saying that Evan Neal “needs to play better.” Schoen added that he doesn’t think Neal needs to move to guard, believes he can play tackle but is missing valuable reps right now with his ankle injury.

If Schoen and Daboll roll with Daniel Jones in 2024, then they are not the right solution. They should be fired.

shyster : 11/27/2023 11:21 am : link
I think they very well would have taken a QB in the first round of the upcoming draft.

The upshot of winning those two games is that I don't think they are going to like the QB options available for that pick.

There will certainly be another QB on the roster next year; how he is acquired is a very open question.

It doesn't even have to be a franchise changing QB. It has to be a competent QB who can give them a reliable floor. They don't even have a floor right now; Jones was supposed to have settled in the 12-15 range of QBs and he backslid toward the bottom and is injured. DeVito is a bottom tier starter at best and Tyrod will not be under contract.

They will not be able to afford a free agent backup, so that leaves the draft, and I will be willing to guarantee they aren't going to passively sit back and only pick a QB they feel 1000 percent confident is going to be a franchise changer and is also BPA when they pick. It doesn't work that way. If they like McCarthy or Daniels or Penix or Nix they will pick them over someone like Keon Coleman. Again, they do not have a QB1 on the roster right now, you cannot be a functional franchise without one.

Eric, OK, fine. But again - you have to assume that everything just turns out perfectly for the Giants during the draft in that case.

Williams and Maye - gone within the first 3. That is about as much of a lock as there is in this year's draft. Marvin Harrison Jr, probably the 3rd.

New England is not trading out of their spot. Arizona might. Chicago might. If Schoen wants to trade, he can likely do it.

With the recent "success" the Giants are probably out of the mix for whichever QBs settle in as the top guys... but probably are very much in the mix for trading back into the first round to grab someone who slips a bit. That's what I expect at this point.

Schoen  
AcidTest : 11/27/2023 11:28 am : link
can blather all he wants about BPA, but I'd be stunned if the Giants didn't take a QB in the first or second round.

Jones has had a concussion, two serious neck injuries, and now a torn ACL. That makes him unreliable, even if the Giants decide that their offensive struggles are more because of the porous OL than his play.

The ACL by itself isn't that concerning. Many players come back from that injury, and Jones is mostly a straight-line runner. He isn't Lamar Jackson. But the concussion and neck injuries are very concerning, especially since running is one of his better talents. The problem is that his running makes it more likely he'll be hit and suffer another concussion or neck injury.

Next season is likely the last that Jones will be on the Giants.

Eric from BBI : Admin : 11/27/2023 11:29 am : link
I have also pointed to that as a possible tactic. I posted a few weeks ago that a possiblel scenario would be to land Harrison in the 1st round and trade back into the bottom of the 1st round for the QB. Looks like Harrison is off the board now however.

Needless to say, that's awfully risky, Eric. Taking a QB in Round 1 or 2 that you don't believe can be/will be a franchise QB is not only investing foolishly and potentially setting your team back further, but it's also poor asset management. Those are premium picks that can be used to upgrade other positions.

If they draft a QB early that they don't love in 2024 and he performs poorly, the team is going to have fans and even the FO clamoring for a new QB, perhaps someone they actually love and see as an upgrade.

BPA is always the way to go, but I do agree with you that QB is valued at a premium.

I agree, which is why I don't know if hitching their wagon to a rookie QB they don't absolutely love is the way they should go. You're spending a premium pick on a QB you may just like instead of spending it on other positions that can help you now.

Those of you on each side of the argument will dig in of course because that’s what you do.

NYG is going to draft a QB with a premium pick this year. May not be round 1, but they know they need a legitimate pivot from Jones.
