Jones will be the Starting QB in 2024 when Healthy- Schoen

[Ed Vette]

"We'll take the best player available. If the best player available for our team is at a certain position, we'll take it. I mean, we won't shy away from it," Schoen said. "That's a ways away, the draft in April. We're still working through all that. We have to come up with a plan, like I said, just for the offseason right now. Tommy [DeVito] is the only one that's under contract, so we'll look at all different avenues there."

All roads, though, apparently lead back to Jones being the Giants primary quarterback in 2024.

I'll translate:  "Jones will be the starting QB until such time as we get somebody better in here perhaps as soon as this April".

He can't say Jones is benched because thanks to back to back meaningless wins they may not be in position to take a QB at all and Jones will have to start and you don't want to neuter the guy before 2024 even starts.  So in the event they can't get a QB in the draft, Jones is gonna start simply because they have no other options.

But he did say QB would have to be addressed either in free agency or the draft.  I doubt he means a developmental 5th round QB.

"I've seen it, I mean, you guys all saw last season. I mean, the guy won 10 games, he won a road playoff game for the Giants," Schoen said. "I just think. we got punched in the nose early on and we dug ourselves a hole and we weren't able to get out of it. You know, we're, we're trying to right now, but still believe in Daniel."

Reading through the GM speak, he's looking for trade offers to trade down.

It's very possible they may sign a solid veteran backup and not draft a QB at all unless one of these top guys drops unexpectedly to the second round, and we've seen that before.

Sanders in 2025 may emerge as a target.

I truly believe that Oline is his number one priority and that's coming from DJ's adopted dad, JM.

That is reading in your preferences. As we all do from snippets in these pressers.

[DaveBrown74]

Both Schoen and Daboll said very positive things about Jones when they got hired, and then a few months later they opted not to exercise his fifth year option.

I'm not reading into anything other than actual actions with these guys. I certainly don't buy that a GM is going to publicly tip the whole league off as to what he is thinking prior to FA and the draft.

OK, but what about using a first-round pick (and maybe a high one) on a quarterback in 2024?

"We'll take the best player available," Schoen said. "If the best player available for our team is at a certain position, we'll take him. We won't shy away from it."

He says a lot but also says everything you need to know.

1. He's not sacking off Jones, or trying to destroy any trade value in a year.

2. If the Giants are in a position to draft a QB, who they believe in more, they will.

Nothing on Jones' starting future will be decided until the draft. If they spend a first rounder on a QB, you better believe he will be "their guy". If there's not a QB better than Jones, they will wait.

I don't think this does anything for Jones' job security.

I guess we will have to wait and see.

No news there. It's what I expect the statements to reflect until they draft a QB in April.

Very true, but you have to remember that prior to this regime we had two consecutive GM's that all but gift-wrapped their decisions to the media not to mention us and the competition.

It's a new (and better) world relative to having grown ups in the room who earn respect from their peers.

Maybe you don't want all the other teams know you're desperate for a QB in the draft.

I think it's pretty obvious that we are regardless of whatever spin Schoen is putting out there.

He can't really say anything else because financially they are tied to him.

I'd bet good money Jones is the "starter" until devito or a draft pick beat him out which will happen.
