John Schneider "NYG sold Lock on opportunity to be starter"

Lock's chances of starting here are higher than in Seattle, but still low.

Looks like this has been debunked based on Lock's presser that is going on right now.

It was conveyed to him that Daniel Jones is the starter and he can expect a lot of camp reps while he recovers. Says he doesn’t know where this other stuff came from.

Evidence that the Giants are moving on from Jones. QED. There’s no arguing anymore and little ambiguity.

You realize that if they could have signed Wilson it would have been for the vet minimum, less than they paid Taylor the last two years. The Giants couldn't have dreamed of a better QB situation for 2024.

What that said to me is it's evidence they know getting one of the top QBs is not happening.

to start the season i think they are pretty high.

jones would have to play about a month ahead of kyler did last year (i think) and any rookie even in the first is 50/50.

and i kind of think he's competing with 1 or the other but not both. a 5m 3rd QB would be abnormal.

This. Surely there's no vested interest by a party to deny this.

Art Stapleton @art_stapleton Couple things circling back on this: a promise of a path to become QB1 was not made to Drew Lock during his negotiation, according to an individual familiar with the #NYGiants process. Why Schneider relayed this, and on a radio show, is anybody's guess. I'm told what he said is not accurate. "BS" is how one source put it. Does sound like SEA wanted Lock back and missed out.

All these conspiracies and planted lies theories are mind boggling to me. I know there is a lot of misdirection during draft season, but some of this stuff is hard to digest. I still believe that JS and BD like DJ. When JS keeps saying DJ is the starter, I believe him. Barring injury of course. JS also stated that he was looking for a back-up FA or in the draft. LOCK IS THE BACK-UP. I don't see moving up and I don't see QB at 6. However, It's just MO like everyone else on this board.

Why would they still like Jones? Because he’s begging for it to be true that they do

Just as your begging for it to be true that they don't, except he has the fact that they gave him a contract with $82M as evidence, whereas you're just following the hot air like a cat follows a laser pointer.
