From Connor Hughes Twitter:
If #Giants were to fall in love with a QB in #NFLDraft, John Mara said he would “support” Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll drafting one
Mara says the Giants are “looking” at quarterbacks.
He later added he’s been told this is the best QB class on years

Giants GM Joe Schoen said Daniel Jones is "running on land''
No longer walking on water.
It actually sounds accurate. Hydrotherapy is huge now.
Saw that it was an anti-gravity treadmill although my first thought was hydro as well
I am with you, but to be fair.. he does not speak much publicly. When he does, I agree that he says the wrong things.
Much better than a guy like Jerry Jones. That asshole take press conferences after every game and speaks for the coaching staff.

He is at the owners meetings
What did he say that was wrong?

Mara should learn to just shut up.
Between saying “we’re back” after the Minn win to negotiating against ourselves with Jones…. Just stop talking John.
Oh, please. Do you seriously think he's given anything away? LOL, too funny. The world knows Schoen has been scouting QBs. There is zero info here. Zero, so get over yourself.
Exactly. Bitching for the sake of bitching. Oh no! Mara let out that the Giants may look at QBs, which the whole damn world already knew.
It is quite the concept.
He clarifies that drafting a QB would be "OK" with him
He clarifies he AGREES with us, the OL situation is "ridiculous".
That should be thumbs up for all 3 statements!!!
Again, I just cringe when he talks football. I just wish he wouldn’t, even if that wish isn’t practical.

Did he really "talk football"? He answered some questions and conveyed that his GM is running the show. You're asking an owner of the football team to not have an opinion when asked a direct question? Good luck with that.
The first step in getting better is to recognized that there is a problem
@Connor_J_Hughes
John Mara said he “hated” seeing Saquon Barkley leave — texted him and told him it made him “sick” shortly after he signed. The fact he left for #Eagles made it a tougher pill to swallow.
Said he was “hoping” Barkley would be back. Referenced the two contracts the #Giants offered him.
Said he told Joe Schoen he “wouldn’t be thrilled” with him going in division.
John Mara said there are times he wishes Brian Daboll would “tone it down,” but he doesn’t believe he behaves irrationally.
He hasn’t asked Daboll to change, nor does he believe there are culture problems in Giants building
Happy he's aware of Dabes' big mouth, at least.
Are you saying you finally believe it? Or this is what Schoen has been doing all along?
That's an awful lot of smoke and seeming likely to me that we trade a massive haul of draft capital for JJM or Maye.
I honestly would hate it and love it simultaneously. I'd prefer to let Minnesota trade up and take Maye or JJM for much less at 6 or via slight trade up. Alas, that's not how you go and get the guy you love unfortunately. The lack of insiders mentioning Maye is very curious and I wouldn't be surprised if he is the target. On the other hand, leaks are real with the NYG so perhaps the JJM reports are real too.
I will use this as an excuse to post this picture again

I suspect the Maye ship will be righted on Thursday, UNC's pro day, sadly. I'm starting to settle on him as the guy I want next month. But he'll likely be gone by our slot and I still don't think we're going to trade up. I think we'll be selecting between Nabers and JJ, as I expect Odunze to be gone as well. Given that choice, I'd go Nabers.
LMAO!
Also reinforces my belief that Joe has been running the show the entire time. I'm holding that the DJ contract was all on him and Dabs.
He did a 45 minute interview and said nothing that would be even remotely of any strategic disadvantage. It's impressive actually.

That's good news.

I think you are right in Schoen was the driver of last offseason. I'm more willing to grade Schoen on a curve given the circumstances he inherited, first playoff win in over a decade with two pending UFA's who were top ten picks who ownership loved.
I can hardly wait for the draft process be over. Then again depending on who we take another crap fest will soon follow.

Mara said the front office has told him this QB class is “the most talented group to come out in years.” 👀

“Everybody in the building wants Daniel (Jones) to succeed, but you can never let that get in the way if you make a judgement that there are people coming out in the draft who have a chance to be really good franchise-type players.”

Only way I see JJM making it to 6 is if the Vikings tradeup for Maye and the smoke about them wanting JJM is just a smokescreen. If JJM made it to pick 6, I think Schoen would take him happily. I don't think Maye can right the ship at his proday as I believe the concerns teams like the Patriots have about him are related to how his mind reacts to pressure, his pro day will do nothing to help that.

Saying anything about players or positions at this point is simply wrong.

At this point I'd be surprised if we didn't trade up with the Patriots to get Schdabka's guy.

The Patriots and other teams have said Drake Maye doesn't have the right mind(set) when reacting to pressure?
Or was it just you?

Only in Mara's pool.
You know? I've gotten into debates about Jones or Barkley or whatever and as I've said many times, I get both sides of the argument for and against them. But Mara? I just don't understand it. We made the playoffs and won a game against a good Vikings team. He says "We're back!". I think most fans said the same. But for some reason, he isn't supposed to say anything? Was he supposed to just be like "S'cool man. Glad we got a win. Wake me when we get back to NY"
Rant finished. As long as he's not dropping N-Bombs or pushing for mass genocide, I think whatever Mara says is Mara's business. Free speech and all that.

I said I believe, Thomas. If the Patriots arent enamored with Maye as many sources have said then it certainly isn't to do with his arm or size or athleticism. His mechanics can obviously be improved, but that's not a deal breaker. I believe the Patriots would pass due to mental concerns. And yes, those are the concerns I have too which are shared by analysts I've seen as well.
If the Patriots pass on Maye, what reasons do you think they would have?
No, he said we could pick one but they would compete with Daniel.
Wins - 76
Loses - 118
Ties - 1
- 697 point differential
Playoff Record 1-2
- 49 point differential
3 general managers, 5 head coaches, 3 Mara's
Amazing the stupid shit people bitch about?

I don't know they have any concerns, nor do the sources, and nor do you.
But mental concerns seem contagious when discussing QBs around here for sure.
Agree.
Pro days are a joke. Players create the test they take. I guess if they "fail" their own test then the teams may drop them do n the board.
@DDuggan21
Mara said the front office has told him this QB class is “the most talented group to come out in years.” 👀
in the modern cap era (let's say mid-90's on) it has only happened a few times where 4 QBs went in the top 10.
most recently 2021 lawrence, wilson, lance, 1-3 and then fields (#10).
in 2018 mayfield 1, darnold 3, allen 7, rosen 10.
the famed 99 class had couch, mcnabb, akili smith 1-3 and culpepper #11 then mcnown #12.
qbs going #1-4 hasn't happened in the modern era and maybe not ever.

#Giants co-owner John Mara: If Joe Schoen & Brian Daboll have conviction on a QB at top of #NFLDraft, he supports going to get him. Still confident in Daniel Jones but says why not bring in someone to compete & let the best man win?
LOL, because John you haven't brought in a legitimate threat to Daniel EVER and never drafted another QB in 5 years.
What kind of smile we talking here? Cheshire Cat? Grinch? Sounds like an easy person to play in poker.
