Extremely interesting "for" and "against" arguments being debated here

This. I don't know if I could watch the Gmen while he's there. It would be like signing Michael Vick when he was still around. Can he ball? Maybe... but I dislike him as a person so much that I don't care if he can help us.

As for Jones vs Rodgers, there ARE arguments for Jones (and a few against Rodgers we don't know about).

Lastly, assuming the Giants do want (and sign) Rodgers, how much (if any) of an indicator is it that the Giants plan to draft a QB this year? And, if that is also true, then does it mean the QB will be taken in the first (or high second) round?

Bob

This was exactly what I was thinking.  I'm actually hoping Rodgers to the giants is true, because if it is,  I am pretty sure they aren't taking a QB at third overall. Because I don't like the QBs at the top of the draft.

A QB at three means you are playing him year one.  You determine he's a franchise QB and want to get his feet wet as soon as possible to maximize his lower salary cap number.  You are not taking a developmental QB at three.

I doubt Rodgers comes here just to be put on the bench by week 9. So I think if he comes here,  it foreshadows the giants taking a different position at third overall,  and taking a developmental QB later in the draft.

Still doesn't eliminate them going QB in 2026 either if a great one in that class is there when they pick relatively high next year.  Rodgers or not,  i cannot see the giants winning enough games this year to pick any lower than tenth overall.  Not with our schedule. And that class is very good for QBs it would appear.

I prefer Fields to Rodgers,  but one is clearly a caretaker and the other is an upside dice roll to be your QB going forward.  So to me, Rodgers means the giants are leaning into a developmental QB this year,  and we'll see next year.

All this said,  if the giants sign Rodgers and then take a QB at third overall,  Schoen needs to be fired immediately.

I can understand why Schoen and Daboll might want Rodgers

I cannot understand why Mara would OK it

I have no idea why Rodgers would want us

I imagine the only thing Rodgers wants from the Giants is potential leverage with other teams

If that is true then I have lost ALL respect for the man. NY rolled out the red carpet for him. Show some respect Rodgers and don't let this be true!

You're wise beyond your years.

They are trading dk, they would have an offense that is worse than the Giants.

I am not sure.  JSN has become their WR1 over Metcalf and Lockett.

That particular source is notorious clickbait. The Seahawks '12th man' reflects their environment in one of the most socially liberal urban areas in USA. They likely would not welcome AR and all his off-field baggage at all. Even more so as he would replace the very popular Geno Smith who they just traded away drawing criticism from many of their fans. Such a divisive move would put an even bigger spotlight on their GM, Schneider, who already faces a lot of local criticism. He'd have to possess the biggest balls in the West to pull that move.

London: He may like (or have reason to want to stay in) the area. Whatever his reason (if any), I think it's clear that it's not directly related to football. Bob

Bring in Rodgers + a rookie QB + some vet backup (or Tommy DeVito I guess  ), in case Rodgers gets injured

I like it because it reduces pressure on management to drafT a QB, in case we don't really LOVE one in the 1st round

I'm all for avoiding the so called top prospects..but these are desperate times for the front office.. coach..and they're flailing. Mara wants a QB in the draft..or else veto pen. Rodgers I think they can stomach considering how awful and embarrassing their 100th season was..I don't want him..but I think is inevitable with this sad group..that really can't build effectively..now impatient and grasping at straws
