What to do at QB
Stick with Kyler. Very unpopular opinion among the irascible masses, but I really do believe this direction results in the best January QB.
Trade for Daniel Jones. He’s familiar with the offensive concepts. He’s much more the KOC type than Murray is. And I think Indy might just be willing to deal him before that ship disappears under the water completely. 2 years, $88M
Trade for Justin Herbert. He’s the most talented QB we’re talking about here. Horrible season, but I don’t think you can gauge his talent level based on what he’s doing this year. Dude makes a quarter billion dollars tho. How we manage that, I have no idea.
Trade for Kirk Cousins. I don’t think he’s the QB we remember from 3 seasons ago. But the fact that he might know the offense better than anyone on this list makes him an intriguing candidate. 1-year, $20M
Promote Wentz. No doubt he’ll make our offense look competent immediately. Just don’t think he’s someone you want at the helm in January. I could be wrong about that. Nick Freaking Foles won a Super Bowl. It’s been said a hundred times, but it’s still true: “All we need is average QB play.”
Trade for Mac Jones. I don’t think this does much for us right away. Maybe? But it might give us our QB for 2027. It’s also hard to see the 49ers trading their backup in what looks like a playoff year for them.

Option 1
Add some rollouts, sprint outs, RPOs, designed runs, and a moving pocket. Just getting more snaps in the shotgun is a half-measure.
I PROMISE it will work 😆

I also like option 6 for next year in FA but not via trade.

Eagles DC Vic Fangio: Giants got a "steal" in QB J.J. McCarthyhttps://t.co/iocc000Rs1
— Around The NFL (@AroundTheNFL) November 4, 2026
The New York Giants shipped a fifth-round pick to Minnesota for J.J. McCarthy earlier this season. Ahead of Sunday’s NFC East matchup, Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said he's impressed that Big Blue acquired the QB for so little.
“The quarterback has come in, in a short period of time and really done a nice job. For them to get him for a [fifth]-round pick is a steal,” Fangio said Tuesday at the end of a long-winded breakdown of the Giants' offseason changes.
McCarthy has played just six quarters for the Giants, but was very impressive in the Week 7 overtime victory over the Houston Texans, generating 252 yards on 20-of-28 passing. McCarthy looked much more confident and accurate than at any time in Minnesota.
The question for the NFC East-leading Giants is whether the QB's play in New York is replicable or whether it’s simply a small sample and he’ll revert to the same inconsistent passer we saw in Minnesota.
Much of how McCarthy plays will come down to the staff around him. The coaching crew put the QB in position to make a lot of plays through his first six quarters. That must continue.
Fangio, who worked under Giants coach John Harbaugh for two seasons in Baltimore, respects the job the offense in New York has done this season to turn things around.
"They've got a really good offense," Fangio said. "They've got skill at the receiving position. They did a nice job raiding the Ravens, not only for John, but for [tight end Isaiah] Likely and [fullback Patrick] Ricard. They've got a lot of the Ravens-type offense that they had when [Giants senior offensive assistant] Greg [Roman] was there, and they've intermixed Kansas City-type passing in there with [offensive coordinator] Matt [Nagy].
"They've got it going right now. They've got good wideouts, good tight ends, two good backs.”
Fangio’s Eagles defense has struggled this season, ranking 27th in yards allowed and 21st in points given up. The pass rush has been sorely lacking, ranking 23rd in QB pressures and 29th in sacks. If they don’t disrupt McCarthy on Sunday, the young Giants quarterback could have another big day.

Yeah, I don't see any QB trade happening. Deadline time for a team perceived as desperate?Those guys would only be available if we bent over hard. I see all kinds of downside in that.
I've said it many ways in recent weeks and months- Kevin made this mess, and I don't see the franchise just wrecking itself to bail him out. At least I pray I'm right about that but the Wilfs have hit us with many a dumb move before so you never know.
If he doesn't want to adapt the offense to Kyler's strengths, then his choices are keep doing what doesn't work because he's stubborn AF and burn the season down, or put leadfoot Wentz in. Carson can run the vertical offense, albeit while turning it over 2-4 times a game which is gonna cost wins.
It won't be pretty and it likely won't win the title but it will keep Kevin employed so he can fuck around and find out with whoever his next QB is for 2027.
OTOH if the organization is serious, Nolan will have a Come to Jesus meeting with KOC and put a stop to the stupidity. He'll start utilizing Kyler the right way, stop killing his confidence and get him back on track. No crippling the future with bad trades or betting on Carson. Fingers crossed.🙏
If they decide to stick with Murray, this season is a wash...
MAYBE Option 6 if they felt K1 is just not going to work here and the entire season is at risk.
Otherwise, I think they roll with the QB room they got.
I agree with @JIT, I'd rather (under protest) sign a non-elite starter in 27 as a FA and not have to spend draft/player capital.
For the record? This is all beyond infuriating to me.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
