Forget, for one second, about projecting who should be the next Giants quarterback.<\/p>\n
Think instead about what the next Giants quarterback should be.<\/p>\n
Many of the to-be-decided player\u2019s future teammates considered what characteristics they would like to see while clearing out their lockers at the end of a shell shock-inducing 3-14 season. <\/p>\n
It is up to retained general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll to search for, identify and acquire the quarterback who they believe can be the missing piece to a quick turnaround.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited about it,\u201d linebacker Bobby Okereke said. \u201cEver since high school, your quarterback is the leader of your team. Whether you like it or not, quarterback play affects everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drew Lock is an unrestricted free agent and Tommy DeVito is an exclusive rights free agent, but Schoen hinted that DeVito will be re-signed. <\/p>\n
ERFAs typically sign one-year contracts at the non-guaranteed minimum salary, so the Giants will enter March with security against having no quarterbacks on their roster.<\/p>\n
The Giants essentially have three paths for finding their next starter: Adding a proven veteran like Sam Darnold or Kirk Cousins; drafting Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward atop the draft; or a mix of the two to create a competition between a high-end bridge like Justin Fields and a mid-round draft pick like Jalen Milroe, Quinn Ewers, Carson Beck or Jaxson Dart.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care if it\u2019s a rookie or a veteran,\u201d guard Jon Runyan Jr. said. \u201cWe just need somebody that is going to help us win games. Offensively, we are built to do that. I think we can run the ball well and, when needed, we can hold up in pass protection. Somebody to complement us and get us going, and get some touchdowns, would be valuable for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Malik Nabers is the No. 1 reason a quarterback might find the Giants (and the NFL\u2019s second lowest-scoring offense) appealing. He wants a quick learner.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they ask me about it,\u201d Nabers said, \u201cI\u2019ll do some research and watch the QBs and let them know how I feel about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor has more of the new prototype in mind after watching Jayden Daniels spark the Commanders and becoming a big fan of the Patriots\u2019 Drake Maye\u2019s improvisational style.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone who gives everybody a lift,\u201d Eluemunor said. \u201cIn this day and age \u2014 with defensive ends getting smaller, faster and stronger \u2014 you need to have guys that can help out the offensive line. By that I mean when one of your guys is beat, you need a quarterback that can make a guy miss and manipulate the pocket, run around, throw it downfield. More like the mobile, dual-threat crazy-thrower type.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whether or not he knew it, it sounded like Eluemunor was describing Ward\u2019s skill set.<\/p>\n
Rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has his eye on quarterbacks who provide \u201cefficiency and ball security.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want someone who can command a team,\u201d Tracy said. \u201cI believe if you put the right person at quarterback then our offense can go.\u201d<\/p>\n
The longest-tenured offensive player \u2014 receiver Darius Slayton \u2014 knows what\u2019s been missing even in the days of oft-injured Daniel Jones. What should the Giants target?<\/p>\n
\u201cStability,\u201d said Slayton, a pending free agent. \u201cOne guy back there in the pocket for the season.\u201d<\/p>\n
What about personality?<\/p>\n
Receiver Wan\u2019Dale Robinson wants to see \u201cconfidence\u201d \u2014 easier said than done with a Giants team that leads the NFL in losses since 2017.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also need a guy that is able to handle New York,\u201d Eluemunor said. \u201cIt\u2019s a tough place to play if you don\u2019t have thick skin. But typically those places are amazing to play in. If you play good here, you\u2019ll hear it. If you get a guy that negativity is not going to affect him and he can go out there and just ball, that will help us for next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nabers is coming off a record-setting 109-catch, 1,204-yard rookie season, but watched his former LSU teammate Daniels hit it even bigger in Washington. What\u2019s the secret sauce to replicate?<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to be in a comfortable system,\u201d Nabers said. \u201cYou have to have guys that trust you in the building. You have to lead. You have to have a lot of people pushing you to be great. If we draft somebody that can do the same thing, sky is the limit for a rookie that comes in and tries to change the franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
