New York Giants at Crossroad at QB

Transcript

00:00 The New York Giants are at a crossroad at quarterback.

00:03 Incumbent Daniel Jones will be coming off another significant injury-filled year,

00:07 which saw him suffer his second neck injury in the last three seasons,

00:11 as well as a torn ACL that could potentially affect his mobility, at least on the onset.

00:16 And with the Giants slotted to draft sixth in the 2024 draft, the question now becomes,

00:23 do they run it back with Jones or do they look to draft to get someone else?

00:28 Predictably, General Manager Joe Shane in his year-end press conference

00:32 didn't offer any clues into his thought process. But here's what we do know.

00:36 Shane has already said that the expectation is for Jones to be the quarterback in week one of

00:41 the 2024 season if he is healthy. But expectations, of course, can change if other, more enticing

00:48 circumstances pop up. And just because the plan right now is for Jones to start in week one if

00:54 he's healthy doesn't mean that he's the long-term answer. The Giants, remember, structured Jones'

00:59 contract to include an escape hatch midway through the second year. So it's certainly possible that

01:05 if the team does add a young quarterback via the draft, the plan could be to roll with Jones until

01:11 a young quarterback is ready for the bright lights, very similar to what the Giants did back

01:15 in 2004 when they traded for Eli Manning. Whatever the case, the Giants quarterback

01:21 situation is certainly intriguing and a lot of questions still need to be answered over

01:26 the coming months. Keep it here on Giants Country to see how it all plays out.
