Wrong.....where does it say Shurmur wanted Lock over Jones? Dont add any BS to an article that just states Shurmrur and the Giants did the evalution of Lock and liked him.

Very possible. Possible that Gettleman was blowing smoke up everyone's tail. Either way, the Giants have Jones. Or, as Gametime said...it says that nowhere.
Rereading the article it says they liked him and thought he would have a good career, but nothing about them taking him over Jones.

It's just BS made up by the writer....he states it's 'possible' Shurmur could have wanted Lock. Those quotes were from Shurmur's interview. That interview said nothing about Shurmur wanting or not wanting Lock. Just that he thought he was good.
Personally, if Lock puts it all together...he could be the best out of that QB class.

Shurmur wanted Drew Lock but was overruled by Gettleman who preferred Daniel Jones according to Sports Illustrated
That is complete BS. Why would you say that? The article states that the buzz was "apocryphal" meaning it's doubtful it's true.
The point of the story is that Shurmur said the Giants liked Lock. But seriously, what else would he say?

thought Shurmur pointed out Jones to DG a "year before. That was another thread a few days ago. I saw the interview and he was asked about Lock . That word was that the Giants did a lot of work on him and he said they did and thought highly of him and thought he had a good future in the league. Don't think he ever said anything other then that. This is his new QB sure he chose wisely can't have the one you helped pick might as well work with the one that was next in line they might have been 1A and 1B. I liked Lock and Stidham Finely and mentioned Minschew as a sleeper late rounder if we wanted to go Pass Rusher.

Stop. Shurmur did not say he preferred Lock to Jones, that is completely made up. He said they liked Lock and thought he would be good. So what I said that too, as did many people around here. There is a "Lose for Lock" thread someplace because people expected him to go top 5.

Pretty old news, too, the Giants liking Lock. It was stated months ago that Jones was player A and Lock was player 1A.

Guys don't jump down the OPs throat, he just repeated the non-sense stated in the article.
"Apocryphal buzz has since permeated the Mile High City, supposing that maybe Shurmur did want Lock at pick No. 6 but was overruled by Giants' GM Dave Gettleman who liked Jones. It's all unconfirmed rumor"

Like football there should be some kind of penalty for misleading posts.A post like this equates to a personal foul

Careful. Fake news contradicting previous fake news can potentially tear the time/space continuum.

What's he going to say to his new employer's? "Nah, Lock is trash and Josh Allen 2.0".

It's all unconfirmed rumor which suits the Broncos and not Daniel Jones or the Giants.

Should he have said he didn't like his new QB? 🙄

I don't think it effects Jones or the Giants at all. If it were true then the guy that wanted Lock is gone and the guy that wanted Jones is here. Everyone is happy.

We'll probably never know whether or not Shurmur preferred Lock unless him or DG write a tell all book years down the road and I doubt there's much of a market for that.
I still think we should have used the 17 slot to pick a QB. That way we could have Josh Allen on the roster and he just had a very good rookie season. Chances are Jones would still have been there and Lock definitely would have been. Lock looked pretty solid in the few games that he played but Jones has a lot of promise if he can cut down on turnovers. Year 2 is going to be the most important year for him to grow and cut down on mistakes.

You know its the offseason when fans argue about things that nobody will every truly know except for a handful of people that won't ever admit to anything except the right thing to the media directly/indirectly.

Who cares if he likes Jones or lock or both ? Both are young talented QBs and what's there not to like... Locks arm is stronger , but Jones is a bit more athletic.. the only thing I hate about the Jones pick was taking him at 6.. getting Jones at 6 is an ok deal, but getting Josh Allen at 6 and either Jones or lock at 17 would have been great for the Giants.. yeah we got our QB for the foreseeable future and he's played well so far but still feel we were overly cautious taking him with 6..
