If Giants don't like top QB prospects '25 draft

CMicks3110 : 9/11/2024 12:00 am
would it not make sense to try to trade down for a 2nd 1 in 2026, in hopes of landing Arch Manning, or a more highly touted prospect, and building a deep roster while we wait, and put in a caretaker QB for 2025. Wouldn't be terribly dissimilar to Atlanta letting Desmond Ridder start all of last year for the Falcons.


What the fuck is this worship

of Arch Manning on this site? The kid will have spent 2 years on the bench at Texas.

Do you have to ask? I mean, it's so predictable and easy to draw the lines...

If they miss on out Arch, wait until these posters find out about Marshall Manning, Peyton's son.

Instead of truly finding the best talent, let's find the best NYG prototype.

for why we shouldn't draft a QB. At some point you have to at least try and find one.
From Dave Brown’s son to Eli’s nephew.

Sure but you also can't force it lest you end up with a bust

They haven't drafted a QB in six years, that's hardly forcing it.
The obsession with everything Eli Manning needs to stop

The fact that you need to “love” the QB to draft him but eventually you have to pulled trigger and draft a guy. At this rate we ma never draft another QB again. This team has back themselves into a corner and pretty much had no choice. We need a QB
They’ll be at least one QB they’ll really like

Out of Ewers, Dart, Sanders, Ward and Beck.
Again with this.  
robbieballs2003 : 9/11/2024 6:43 am : link
Why would Arch Manning come out after next year? So, he goes to Texas to wait two years and enters the NFL after only playing 1 year at Texas? Highly unlikely.
And our QB next year would be

Any of next year's top five QBs will ultimately be better  
GeofromNJ : 9/11/2024 6:57 am : link
than what we now have. I wouldn't wait until 2026 or beyond and I would trade for a current QB as a stop-gap only if it didn't interfere in the ability to draft a QB next year.
The Giants have only drafted 6 QBs in their history  
HardTruth : 9/11/2024 7:00 am : link
In the first round (that includes Dave Brown as a supplemental)

- Daniel Jones 2019
- Philip Rivers 2004 (to trade for Eli )
- Dave Brown 1994 (supplemental)
- Phil Simms 1979
- Lee Grosscup 1959
- Travis Tidwell 1950

In fact that Giants have only drafted 4 additional QBs in rds 2-3 in their entire 100 history

(Webb, Hostetler and two guys in the early 1950s)

Just 10 QBs total in the top 3 rds of the draft in 100 years
My advice would be to still pick one the top QB prospects even  
ThomasG : 9/11/2024 7:52 am : link
they don’t really like them. They “like” DJ and what did that get them?

Time to mix things up a bit.



I think with Jones gone  
nygiants16 : 9/11/2024 7:54 am : link
They will go the vet route regardless, i dont know who is available or going to be via trade..

I do think they will draft one as well
with the Giants playing like this, and a much deeper QB class  
PatersonPlank : 9/11/2024 8:40 am : link
than people thought, I think we will have a good selection of very capable QBs to pick from. I really like this upcoming QB class
I get the Arch Manning hype, but he has at least  
barens : 9/11/2024 9:22 am : link
4 years of college written all over him.

Plus, the 2025 QB class is shaping up to be a very nice looking group.
Would love to see Cam Ward in blue.

But a question for BBI QB gurus. Is his kind of side arm delivery concerning?
It doesn't start with the draft  
UberAlias : 9/11/2024 11:48 am : link
They need a veteran QB who is capable of running at least a competent offense. You can't go in assuming you will get the QB you want and that he will be ready to start week 1. From there, they need to be aggressive and get their guy, ideally round 1. Even if in round 2, they need to have drafted a QB before the start of day 3.
Sure

Whats another season of shitty quarterback play?
Whatever happens  
Jerry in_DC : 9/11/2024 12:01 pm : link
Don't Make Draft Day into Coronation Day. We are not picking our QB for the next 10 years. We are picking a talented QB prospect.

And if they don't like the QBs? Ok - then just deploy a true Zero QB strategy. This is becoming more feasible as QB salaries explode. Commit to the pipeline. Build the team. Don't Don't Don't pay $40 M if a guy has an ok season. Just find the next guys to do it.

Go Terps : 9/11/2024 12:39 pm : link
I think the odds of Jones being the 2025 opening day starter are still greater than 50/50.
If you dont think the Mara’s dream of Arch Manning in Blue

I dont know what to tell you. It would be the wet dream of wet dreams for this franchise

Exactly right. A Zero Quarterback Strategy is good way of thinking about it. Every year until you have identified your elite guy, there should be a vet (modest one year contract), a blue chip prospect and a developmental prospect on the roster and a developmental prospect on the practice squad. The total cap hit of the quarterback room should be less than five percent. And then each year, at least two quarterbacks should be brought in to compete fiercely for these four positions.

There should never again be any kind of scholarship or anointment. The starter is the guy who vigorously earns his way to the role. If you have the proper coaching environment and are building the rest of the roster properly with this kind of cap allocation, at the very least, you should get quarterback play from such a meritocratic approach to playoff contending every year.

He can throw from various angles. In fact, his throwing reminds me very much of LJax.

To me, Ward is more of a thrower/playmaker right now than passer. Which wouldn't bother me.
A few thoughts  
Matt M. : 9/11/2024 2:29 pm : link
1) Arch is still on the bench. And, people were saying the same thing last season in order to land Arch in the 2025 draft.

2) This is a terrible idea. You would trade out of a potentially prime draft slot in 2025 to land a 2026 slot in hopes that a) Arch wins the starting job next year, b) Arch plays well enough to warrant entering the draft and getting taken in a prime slot, c) your slot aligns with when he will be available or you are trading more draft capital to make that happen and d) You are hoping or planning on the Giants being bad enough THIS year AND NEXT year to make this happen. And all this just because the kid's name is manning and dominated overmatched HS kids? No thanks.
The Giants  
darren in pdx : 9/11/2024 2:38 pm : link
put themselves in the position where they have to force a QB pick or FA signing whether they like them or not. They put themselves in this predicament. I think I'm at the point that I'll actively refuse to watch Giants games next season if Jones is still on the roster come opening day 2025.

I agree. Or higher
The way things are going with Arch Manning ...  
FStubbs : 9/12/2024 7:54 am : link
... the Giants might be able to get him in the fourth round. He needs to step up in college and prove he has the goods.
