Even if they kept JJM as insurance, literally every week we would be hearing “JJM can’t possibly do worse” and reporters would be asking KOC that question over and over. Not worth the distraction IMO. 

Everyone is still questioning the quarterback anyway though. I mean we’re talking about midseason trade options.

I would hope there's more confidence inside the locker room... Fans are gonna be fans, as long as the players stand behind Murray that's what we need.

Both these teams are playing for second place in the NFC east. Giants will be getting a home playoff game. Against which nfc north team? Hmm

Given how the WR reacted last week, I doubt there is any confidence. Every QB will throw for more yards than Murray this week. He's basically last in every category other than turnovers. If anyone in the locker room has confidence, they are delusional.

Everyone just always says the offense only needs to be average. Average would be quite an upgrade.

OK, but then what about this offseason if JJ looks like the average version of CJ Stroud. We're good just rolling with him in 2027? Because all he'd have to do is show a sliver of potential for the team to be forced to pick up his fifth year option and once again pin all their hopes on him; just like in 2025.

CJ Stroud is likely better than any QB they can add next year....alas.

More on other QBs we've had or had 'interest' in (from Newsweek):

Backup quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., the No. 4 overall pick in 2023, now faces a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge and has one season left on his rookie deal.

Richardson brushed off any regret when asked about the case.

“I enjoy life,” Richardson said. “I don’t really regret a lot of things I do.”

Bullet dodged.....

I don't want Richardson, and he has had other effort related problems. But I'd probably also be flippant about the situation if Indiana is still bothering to charge people with possession of pot.
