The New York Giants have found themselves under scrutiny on social media after reports surfaced detailing their decision not to pursue quarterback Justin Fields, who joined the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason.
Despite speculation surrounding Fields’ future, the Steelers secured the quarterback for a mere sixth-round pick. However, according to a claim from the MLFootball Twitter/X account, the Giants never considered trading for Fields, viewing him as similar to their current quarterback, Daniel Jones.
The tweet sparked outrage among fans, with many expressing disbelief at the comparison between Fields and Jones. While some pointed out Jones’ playoff victory, others emphasized Fields’ superior rushing abilities, highlighting the differences between the two players.
Justin Fields Has A Much Better Ground Game
Although both Fields and Jones possess mobility, Fields is regarded as the stronger runner. The sentiment on social media reflects frustration with the Giants’ decision, with many questioning the team’s evaluation of the quarterbacks.
As speculation swirls, attention turns to the Giants’ quarterback situation. With Jones seemingly on the outs, the team is expected to select a quarterback in the upcoming draft, holding the No. 6 overall pick. The draft could provide an opportunity for the Giants to secure a top-tier quarterback prospect.
Meanwhile, Fields is set to begin the season as the backup in Pittsburgh, with a chance to compete for the starting position if Russell Wilson fails to impress. The situation underscores the uncertainty surrounding both teams’ quarterback dynamics, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming season.
