The argument for Giants to take the Matthew Stafford leap in an offseason filled with QB questions
NY Post
Yes, there are red flags to be wary of. Yes, there should be skepticism if a good team is willingly getting rid of a player.
But considering the alternatives, Matthew Stafford is the best option for the Giants at quarterback. If the Rams truly do want to trade him, the Giants should be all over it.
There is plenty of concern surrounding the quarterbacks in the draft. Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward likely wouldn’t be among the top three quarterbacks prospects from last year’s draft — Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye. And both might be taken before the Giants pick at No. 3. The top free agent veterans — Russell Wilson, Sam Darnold, Justin Fields and Jameis Winston — leave a lot to be desired.
By most metrics, Stafford ranked around the middle of all starting quarterbacks. After getting some of the worst quarterback production in the league, that would represent a dramatic improvement.

The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
