QB3: Colt McCoy

Normally you’d expect the veteran QB with a bunch of NFL experience to be the #2 man, but this is a rebuilding team, and again, things changed since Colt McCoy signed his initial deal with the NY Giants.

With two young QB’s, McCoy will still be useful as an emergency quarterback in case Cooper Rush flops should he be called into duty (hopefully not). I know I’ll sound like a bit of a hypocrite here because of how much I’ve expressed the desire to part with Alex Tanney for so long since he was only kept for mentorship, but McCoy can and will be a mentor to Daniel Jones at the very least.

The difference between Tanney and McCoy is that McCoy has and can actually play quarterback at the NFL level, Tanney hasn’t – and will never – accomplish that.

McCoy is signed for just $1.75M guaranteed, so there is a possibility of him being cut but, again, with all the other QBs being so young and inexperienced you need a guy like Colt McCoy around in this type of situation.
