Following the season-ending ACL injury to starting quarterback Daniel Jones, the New York Giants found success with both rookie Tommy DeVito and veteran Tyrod Taylor in his absence, leading some to believe that the team could be looking to move on from Jones as their starter. But that does not appear to be the case.
During an interview session at the Senior Bowl this week, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen revealed that the team’s plan is for Daniel Jones to once again be the team’s starting quarterback once he recovers from his injury.
“Where we are, we’re in a good spot at six, we’re gonna look at every position we have needs across the board, offensively and defensively,’’ Schoen said according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post. “Daniel’s in the building every day working hard. The expectation is for him to be the starter when he’s healthy going into camp and we’re gonna be thorough with our process at every position during the draft, regardless whether it’s quarterback, running back, safety, corner, whatever it is. We’ll take a good player at six.’’
Obviously, this is pretty significant news, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media as a result.
Really great 🎯

Mara loves Belichick, he grew up with the Parcells/Belichick Giants, so this GM & coach are in a must win situation this season
Although if Cowboys or Eagles stink, Belichick might have choices— MZiegelheim (@pastposttime) January 30, 2024

Not mad at it at all honestly. As long as one’s drafted for development minimum I’m down with that. https://t.co/xhAt3Nhhlg

I’m not mad at what he said because I know he isn’t stupid. He knows how mediocre this QB situation is and with DJ having an injury problem that matters as well. Too many good QBs in this draft not to take advantage of having a top pick. Pull the trigger Schoen and get your guy https://t.co/8GukEhY6P1

It will certainly be interesting to see how Jones performs next season.
