Here’s what the NY Giants’ QB depth chart should look like

While the NY Giants’ QB1 is clearly determined, there are going to be hard-fought battles for the remaining quarterback depth chart spots.

At first glance, this article may not appear to mean much in the grand scheme of the NY Giants 2020 season. Yet, even though Big Blue probably isn’t looking at a Super Bowl run in 2020, last year was a perfect example of how common it is for a quarterback to get injured.

And while you could argue it might not matter in the grand scheme of things if Daniel Jones was to miss a few games again in 2020, this is a new regime and having a solid backup quarterback is paramount for any team that hopes to be able to compete in the NFL as QB’s go down far too often.

It’s also the first season of the Joe Judge era, so the eventual winner(s) of these backup QB competitions will likely have an effect on the team for quite some time.

It’s a little bit all over the place when it comes to how many quarterbacks teams usually choose to carry, but generally, the average is three (it could go up now that roster sizes have increased from 53 to 55).

Sometimes, a team carries two QB’s on its active roster and one on its practice squad. It’s risky because two quarterbacks could easily go down in a game, but roster spots are so tight teams are usually willing to take the risk.

Other times, teams carry three QB’s on the active roster and one developmental practice squad prospect.

That’s exactly what I expect the NY Giants to do, meaning one of the five quarterbacks currently on the roster will be cut; although again, they could choose to go with just three, and then two would be cut.

In any event, here’s what the best version of the NY Giants’ quarterback depth chart should look like.
