Nothing has changed for Brian Daboll.
The Giants’ head coach reiterated on Saturday the same sentiment that he expressed after the season, and what general manager Joe Schoen has said repeatedly throughout the offseason.
When healthy, Daniel Jones will be the Giants’ starting quarterback.
“We’re excited to have Drew [Lock], and he knows what his role is going to be,” Daboll told NFL Network on Saturday. “He’s going to get a lot of reps this spring, he needs to learn our system, but again excited to get Daniel back, when he gets back he’ll be the guy.”
Daboll would not promise that Jones, who is recovering from a torn ACL, will be ready for Week 1, however.
Though it was with the league-affiliated network, they were Daboll’s first public comments of the offseason.
He is set to meet with the rest of the media at the owners’ meetings on Tuesday in Orlando, Florida.
After Seahawks general manager John Schneider said on 710 Seattle Sports radio that he wished to bring back Lock but that the Giants told him he’d compete with Jones to be the starter, The Post’s Paul Schwartz reported that conversation never took place, and that Lock was signed to be the backup.
Lock later confirmed in his introductory press conference that he was told he’d be the backup to Jones.
So Daboll’s comments on Saturday were nothing new.

Looking at Giants news today there were two articles right next to each other "Giants moving on from Jones" and "Jones is our guy".
If going off of quotes with actual names attached (not "person close to the situation") it seems like the Giants are hoping Jones is healthy enough to be their guy but are worried about his streak of injuries.

Daboll should have commented on Jones weeks ago. Instead he let a national and local media narrative set in that the Giants were done with Jones. Just reinforces how untrustworthy both Schoen and Daboll appear to be.

What were people expecting him to say? To me it's a nothingburger...Typical coach-speak for this time of year.

So Lock starts week 1, Jones is healthy week 4 and plays 3 games before getting hurt again, then Lock finishes the season.
Sounds promising and like we have another top 10 pick in 2025.

We may have a whole new crew making that pick at that point or we may get to see how "tight" Daboll and Schoen really are if this scenario plays out. |

What's he supposed to say? I'm hoping this is more to put the Lock stories to rest where he was supposedly told he would compete to be the starter, rather than taking a QB in the draft. I'm really thinking that these guys may not be bright enough to really pull of some of the conspiracies being attributed to them. |

Especially if they take a QB with their first pick which is certainly a possibility. |

Not getting a impact player in the first round and most likely the 2nd also. will be a death blow to this FO and coaching staff. A rookie QB with current state of this roster. Will not be that player. I am ok with WR, CB, S or O-line with the first 2 picks. |

This one goes in my "what is he supposed to say" storeroom. Anything other than public endorsements of 8 coming out of their mouths should be fireable offenses. There is no indication of what way the Giants are going, and I feel like that is a great thing.

And that is due to your watching film and college ball and not thinking any QB is franchise, and deferring it to math. Fair enough and I respect that. On the flip side, all teams will always play craps with the valued position of QB...and if the Giants do not believe Jones is the guy...disregarding the obvious answers to QB questions at conferences, they are in a close enough range to roll the dice. I've watched now endless amount of film on these QB's, and I believe each and every one has more then Daniel Jones brings to the position ...not saying your math is wrong as they get in the NFL, just what I see on breaking them down. As far as impact players, the Giants can draft the best WR and best guard in the first 2 rounds, and still be stuck in a worse position than the Jets with Zack Wilson. The Giants need a legit QB ...having a great X receiver will do nothing if he lacks the QB....and the death blow will come from losses, something Lock and Daniel Jones can give them despite having a great receiver. Speaking of, Lock would benefit from Rome Odunze whom catches the ball covered better then any receiver this year, and Lock throws many lasers into coverage. If we went WR of course  |

Quite a mystery - at the moment Jones, if and when healthy is the starter, unless somebody is added between now and ? is added to play QB.

If we went WR of course Jones has a higher deep ball percentage 15 yards+ then he does with shorter passes. If we take one of the 3 Top WR in the 1st. I do not see Harrison Jr. will being there when we pick. I like Nabers at 6. With that said: On a second and short situation. We could have. Nabers and Slayton running outs. Hyatt on a post. Robinson on a slant, and Waller on a hook. The key to that is, the O-line allowing Jones to step up in the pocket and giving the extra second to allow the deep routes to develop. We have yet to see that , and have rarely from previous O-line configurations. |

Funny how I see it a bit differently. I see drafting a rookie QB as a means to give them a pass for a few more years. So I find this draft pretty intriguing from that perspective alone.
As for what I want, I want the player maker too because I want to see Jones work out to keep us from starting all over again. I felt the same way with Kerry with Eli. I don't like the idea of wasting players prime seasons to allow a rookie QB to get his feet wet.
We all know the idea is to do whatever is best for the NY Giants. This is going to be one interesting draft for sure. |

You just posted exactly how I feel but the injuries to the neck are an issue actually a big one I have had it it affects the upper body arms chest and shoulders it will affect throwing if it gets that far he is lucky if he's the same after 2. |

Put Jones in, redshirt the QB and if Jones plays well and the Giants are winning, great!! If they lose and Jones doesn’t play well, go with the kid in 2025. Otherwise, it’s go get a WR and win now with a roster which Vegas doesn’t seem to confident in with a front office known for firing coaches pretty quickly after Coughlin. |

They just gave the guy 85m guaranteed a year ago and 6 games played ago. He counts against the cap for 47m next season.
What do you expect him to say? "Yeah we F'd up, he stinks when healthy and now he's had two neck injuries and an ACL in three years"
I think what they do in the draft ultimately will show what they think of Dan Jones.
That said, we might see 4 QBs go before they get to pick. They might be forced to go WR and then take a QB later..
