2.) Gardner Minshew

The next option on the docket is 28-year-old Gardner Minshew, a former sixth-round pick who spent all of last season with the Indianapolis Colts. Minshew took over right off the bat when first-round pick Anthony Richardson suffered a season-ending injury.

Minshew finished the season with 3,305 passing yards, including 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He recorded a 62.2% completion rate and a 3.8% turnover-worthy play rate, according to PFF. He was sacked 34 times and recorded a 74.2% adjusted completion rate.

Evaluating Fit and Experience

Minshew is an experienced player with five seasons under his belt, three of which included starting reps. While the Giants may be intrigued by Dobbs and his mobility, Minshew has far more experience, and that goes a long way toward commanding a huddle and understanding how to operate throughout the course of a game.

Giants’ Daniel Jones gives update on ACL recovery after frustrating 2023 season

New York quarterback is hoping to be ready by the start of training camp

The New York Giants went into the 2023 season with high hopes of a second consecutive playoff appearance and make a possible run at the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles for the NFC East title. Quarterback Daniel Jones was at the center of those hopes, but the year turned out to be disastrous for the team and the quarterback.

The Giants got off to a miserable start and finished the season with a 6-11 record. Jones, who had signed a four-year, $160 million contract in the offseason, struggled badly before his season was ended by a torn ACL in early November.

Jones reports that his recovery from the injury is going well and that he believes he can be ready to go for the Giants by the start of training camp. “My rehab is going well,” Jones said. “I’m making progress. I’m three months into it, and I’ve started running on the anti-gravity treadmill. It’s going well.”

Jones was in the lineup for six games last season, and the Giants had a 1-5 record in his starts. He completed 108 of 160 passes for 909 yards with 2 touchdown passes and 6 interceptions. He also ran 40 times for 206 yards and 1 touchdown. The New York offense showed more life under backup quarterbacks Tyrod Taylor and Tommy DeVito than it did with their high-priced starter.
