Quote from: Gmo11 on March 22, 2025, 09:45:40 AMCouldn't possibly see how they also sign Rodgers now. I have that as dead. They will draft a QB and now have the ability to let that guy sit and learn. If anything it allows them the luxury of taking a guy like Milroe in round 2 if they think a year with Daboll could help his throwing issues the way he did with Allen.

I agree that the Rodgers quest is dead......but not at all interested in embarking on a Milroe project, which has long odds of success. Draft Milroe and I fear we'll be right back in this same spot four years from now, with four more years of misery and likely another round of coach/GM behind us. 

Yes, that possibility exists with any QB you draft but I'd hate to try that much of a long shot at this point.  Trading up from 34 for Dart, if at all possible, would be my preference and if that doesn't work out, wait until next year, when we figure to be drafting pretty high again.

Striking out with the 3rd overall pick is a killer.  We saw what the 6th overall did to us.

Hey, this is a Giants fan site.   We don't need to wear rose colored glasses, but we also don't need to be crapped on either

Milroe is a fantastic athlete, mature highly disciplined, smart kid.  Bet on those kinds.

Quote from: Stringer Bell on March 22, 2025, 11:42:32 AMThe reality is, this year was always a lost cause. So my primary objective for the offseason was to not overcommit in any contract with a vet QB, not sign anyone who will set the franchise back anymore, and hopefully not win too many games only to not make playoff and have a worse draft pick. Mission accomplished across the board with this signing.

I completely agree with this take. Jameis was the guy I wanted. Bringing in Russ or Rodgers to win 7-9 games and still not have your long-term QB figured out gets you nowhere. With Jameis we can open up the offense even if he'd infuriate with some bad decisions.

Quote from: Trench on March 22, 2025, 07:54:49 AMIt's clear to me Winston was signed to be our backup QB. Seems they could be all in on Rodgers.

One thing is clear but the other only seems...? That may be what you want although I hope not as it's hardly sensible.

Cheers!

Believeland Clowns cut Winston.

Nuf said.
They didnt cut Winston Dude. Winston was a free agent this offseason and because of their horrible cap situation inwhich they had to restructure Watson to even have money to spend, they didn't Resign him. The Browns traded for Kenny Pickett who has a cap hit of 2 million, they did this because they have no money and couldn't afford Winston.

Might help you to Google things before you speak on them, just a thought.

So I'm starting to wonder what the next move is.  Many are speculating that Jameis is the bridge and we're drafting a QB at 3. I'm not sure about that.  I'm still hopeful the giants think drafting a QB is for 2026, and if so, it's in their best interest to have another QB in their back pocket (Flacco maybe) that they tell they'll sign right after the draft. 

In this way, other teams think the giants are going QB at three and which maybe opens up trade options for us, OR, having Ward and Sanders go 1 and 2 either to the Titans and Browns,  or a trade up... which drops the player we really would love to us at three.

Time will tell.

If Sanders doesn't fall to 3 and we don't trade up to 1 for Ward

My draft day dream scenario would be a team behind us maybe like 2-4 spots  behind us really wants Hunter or Carter

We trade back .... Get maybe a second rounder or third rounder, draft Mason Graham in the first round . Package the extra pick, the 3rd round comp pick and second rounder to move back into first if Dart is still available

Graham is near one of the top prospects and also fills a need

I'm sure that's all true but if I have to bet, I'd rather bet on accuracy.  I'm just not convinced that can be taught.

I like the signing, smart price too. I'm guessing if the Giants are sold on one of top 3 QBs, they go all in at 3. If not, Winston allows them to go BPA and look to round 2 for a QB.
