Which QB Did You Want in the Draft- JJM, Penix, or Nix

gersh : 8/10/2024 10:05 pm
Answer now or please STFU

I keep hearing - if JJM, Penix or Nix turn out to be franchise QBs, then Schoen really fked up.
But- he could have only drafted one (and then would not have Nabers).
So, instead of whining about the 3 QBs he should have taken - go on record now-
WHICH QB SHOULD THE GIANTS HAVE DRAFTED
(And no Caleb, Daniel’s for Maye)

I rarely watch college football.
Really wanted Maye or Daniels  
dd in Mass : 8/11/2024 8:14 am : link
ecstatic with the Nabers choice, mostly because of how Daboll plans to use him. He took the WR room from a perceived weakness to a strength.
 
christian : 8/11/2024 8:20 am : link
I wanted Daniels because he's from close to where I grew up, and he seems like the kind of guy I'd like to get high with. When he success I'll be sure to start a number of threads patting myself on the back.

really as a way to avoid any accountability for the decision making because they don’t like people criticizing the team.

IE Nabers must be the right because the professionals made it and they had conviction and as the poster put it everyone else should STFU.

But if you want to be that kind of annoying person carrying around largely useless additions to a conversation then you must also accept that if those experts prove wrong they deserve criticism.

QB is the most important position on the field if we missed a guy that could have been our future to continue to trot out our below average, off injured QB fans deserve to criticize. We aren’t paid to do this, but many of us do pay to support it.

Sorry if you’d rather worship false idols but some of us just want people to perform well to be supportive as fans. Not sure why this is such a difficult concept for people to get or why you are so angry and defensive about people being held accountable

What I am saying is I am not qualified to say "they should have taken player x instead" because *I* don't have enough knowledge to know.

I am NOT saying Nabers was the right pick simply because Schoen made it. lol. If Nabers busts and Jones doesn't play better with better talent around him and the Giants are picking top 10 again in 2025, I think Schoen and Daboll's jobs should be on the line.

I am just not arrogant enough to believe my opinion matters enough to "go on record" like it's a threat.

You and everyone else in the US (I will not include our UK brethren in here for reasons I won't mention) are of course free to opine on what you would do and denigrate the picks that were made and people who made them all you want.

I choose not to and I do think almost all the fans are pretty clueless. So who gives a shit who goes "on record"?

does that clarify it or will we get another word salad?

I wasn’t at all talking to you. I think this go on record stuff is dumb. The Giants should be held accountable for being right or wrong regardless of people’s draft prognostications
Very much wanted McCarthy,  
barens : 8/11/2024 8:55 am : link
Maybe because I’m a Michigan fan. Also wanted Corum, and either OG Keegan or Zinter.

But very happy with Nabers, and pleasantly surprised to hear how well Jones is doing in training camp.

About me, you are semi-right. I do trust them a hell of a lot more than the couch potatoes(means all of us) posting their opinions as fact. Some posters are one trick ponies and cannot see the forest because of the trees, especially on QB. Most of us, probably vast majority, do not think highly of Jones. However, getting a QB in the 1st round to take a QB is stupid especially when a guy like Nabers is there.

Early before the draft  
Boatie Warrant : 8/11/2024 9:33 am : link
I was hoping we had a shot at Daniel's. Short of that I wanted one of the three wrs with Nabers as preference.

If I had to choose between those 3 QBs at 6 I would have taken JJ. To me the WR selection had more value.


well...  
4xchamps : 8/11/2024 9:43 am : link

McCarthy  
Archer : 8/11/2024 9:45 am : link
I liked the Nabers pick, but I have been consistent in my support of McCarthy.
I think that McCarthy will be the best QB of the draft.

His greatest asset was also a liability.
JJM is only 21. You have to project his upside and he may not be ready to start for a year.

Such an idiotic thought  
Mike from Ohio : 8/11/2024 10:02 am : link
A team that has had poor QB play for 5 years passes on 3 QBs at the top of the first round, and that can only be seen in hindsight as a mistake if a bunch of fans on their couch can name which of the 3 they would have taken?

The Giants pay scouts, analysts and front office personnel a lot of money to make these decisions. They need to get it right. Time will tell if they did.

The “tell me who you wanted right now or STFU” stuff sounds like an angry 6 year old throwing a tantrum on the floor. Delete this and stop embarrassing yourself.

i disagree with the ny stuff being foolishness - just look across town at the foolishness they've suffered from sanchez through wilson.

i personally dont tie QB decisions to schoen as much as daboll. he is the QB expert. either he is asserting that expertise or he is a passenger who will fail. that's why he was clearly the one leading the QB interviews.

GT is the one spouting foolishness. With QBs failing left and right, perhaps a different scouting method on drafting QBs is warranted.

I think that is reasonable. Everyone should be allowed to trust as much or as little as they feel comfortable with. We need to be more respectful of that around here if people don’t share that.

Where we disagree is calling people couch potatoes because they aren’t football professionals. A lot of people can be successful in careers leaning on analytical abilities that would make their inferences better than even average performers in the NFL.

I don’t know what is so hard to understand about that, these people aren’t of any remote level of genius. They exposed themselves on hard knocks. People on BBI are certainly capable of putting in better thought, you should respect people’s beliefs on that not talk down to them because you revere the Giants front office more than them

Maybe it is you that should step back. I don't "revere" the FO and haven't a clue where that comes from. That I believe the FO knows better than 99% of BBI is simply the fact that if all the BBIers were that good, they'd be in the business scouting or coaching. Some have coached and have a better eye than I do, obviously.

Not sure what you saw on Hard Knocks but that is a wild take to believe BBIers know more than the pros. Some throw a lot against the wall and some of it sticks, true. Lot of smart people here whose opinions I do respect. Some are clowns and one trick ponies.

But since we beat that horse to death, I will leave it there.
JJM  
BigBlueCane : 8/11/2024 10:40 am : link
but NY is indeed harder on QBs then a lot of other cities.

We've seen proof of that with the tennants.
Penix, but really any of the three  
widmerseyebrow : 8/11/2024 10:55 am : link
would have aligned with this GM and coach's timeline. Pretty much the only way they can pick a QB next year is if they somehow both 1) suck bad enough to pick high enough and 2) still have their jobs in spite of sucking again. And if they suck again, it will take a unique set of circumstance to not want to start fresh with a new coach/GM who can pick their own QB, rather than risking another mid-contract coach switcheroo.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 8/11/2024 10:59 am : link
I find it a bit odd that we're comparing BBI posters evaluating players to guys like Schoen. I'm just a dude on the Internet who caught a couple of Michigan games this fall & have seen clips of JJM here & there, be it on TV or the Internet. I'm not watching game film on JJM...that's not my job. That's Joe's job so yeah, I'd hope he'd know better about JJM as a prospect than me. He's getting paid to make those decisions.
I didn’t particularly want any of them.  
81_Great_Dane : 8/11/2024 11:01 am : link
In the PFN mock simulator I tinkered with trading down but wasn’t very happy with the results.

I wasn’t against taking a QB. Barring one or nearly miraculous developments (DJ staying healthy and raising his game; Lock improving dramatically; DeVito becoming a starting-caliber QB), they’re going to need one after this season. They know that. Please, please not Dak. I just didn’t want any of them enough to pay the price to get them. Apparently the Giants felt the same way.

I might have gone for a developmental QB in the middle rounds but they have too many needs. And apparently they like DeVito so he’s their developmental prospect.
None! The Giants have a top tier qb, they have many other needs  
Jack Stroud : 8/11/2024 11:09 am : link

JJ McCarthy  
BlueVinnie : 8/11/2024 11:11 am : link
When you have a chance to grab a POTENTIAl franchise QB without sacrificing premium draft picks, you should take. The Giants spent more time with JJ than any other team (according to JJ himself). They must have at least liked him a lot. No prospect is perfect. They should have pulled the trigger.

I still think the interesting question is how in the world Maye was the only quarterback in this draft to get a "high character" designation on their board. And I'd love to know more about their special process for scouting QBs that led them to both pay Jones and replace Taylor with Lock.
The more I see/hear from Daboll

we just got a better look at it than any fanbase ever has with HK. we saw daboll drilling all the QBs on terminology, how they'd make sight adjustments, on their thought process, their favorite plays, and just generally processing information. we saw like 2 minutes each of what were hours and hours of that. that's the how.

we can all state our preferences as we have in this thread based on what we see, but the off field is obviously foreign to us. We dont see 99.9% of what they see and even if we did we arent qualified to understand it. thanks to HK we got to see all their designations on the final draft picks board so we will have our chance to see how they did.

I agree, and I thought pound for pound Nabers pretty close to MHJr as the best player in the draft, regardless of position.

But resetting the clock with a red chip quarterback and a play making receiver in his own right would have been an excellent outcome.

that the Giants have hired professionals to make decisions and fan opinions are irrelevant next to the “experts.”

Then those professionals should get things right and if not be held accountable.

Not complicated. This bozo thinks fans need to be smarter than the professionals or they have no right to criticize. Then you have people like yourself on the other side acting like the Giants should be trusted when they haven’t earned that trust.

A lot of poor logic, no mumbo jumbo



That was a clearer post, thank you.

About me, you are semi-right. I do trust them a hell of a lot more than the couch potatoes(means all of us) posting their opinions as fact. Some posters are one trick ponies and cannot see the forest because of the trees, especially on QB. Most of us, probably vast majority, do not think highly of Jones. However, getting a QB in the 1st round to take a QB is stupid especially when a guy like Nabers is there.



I think that is reasonable. Everyone should be allowed to trust as much or as little as they feel comfortable with. We need to be more respectful of that around here if people don’t share that.

Where we disagree is calling people couch potatoes because they aren’t football professionals. A lot of people can be successful in careers leaning on analytical abilities that would make their inferences better than even average performers in the NFL.

I don’t know what is so hard to understand about that, these people aren’t of any remote level of genius. They exposed themselves on hard knocks. People on BBI are certainly capable of putting in better thought, you should respect people’s beliefs on that not talk down to them because you revere the Giants front office more than them



What was “exposed “ on Hard Knocks?



I’ve actually answered this question for you already. If you don’t even bother to remember conversations you’ve had it isn’t my job to remind you


Great response and if you think that a heavily edited content or us seeing less then 1% of the FO’s an actual decision making process shows them to be exposed….then you were obviously dropped on your head as a child

Keep going beck to board members have greater knowledge of the game than an NFL front office😂😂😂

Que the predicable schill for the front office response

These past two years the Giants have passed for a total of 32 TDs and had a NY/A barely above 5 (league average in 2023 was over 6).

If Daboll thinks he can work with any QB he's welcome to start doing that any time.
McCarthy was an extremely difficult eval

Some of his plays in college were wow inducing, but there were few of them and many of his games were against weak opponents. Taking Nabers, who has HoF potential, over him wasn’t unreasonable at the time.

The more I get the sense he could have worked with most of these QBs.

I wonder if there is a scenario where Schoen goes but Daboll stays.


I agree.

When Daboll was brought in I thought he would get his guy to delvelop.
Seems crazy to fire him before he gets the chance, as that seems to among his real strengths.

But if DJ does not light it up - they HAVE to get that guy in 2025…right?
