2025 Will finally be the year when the New York Giants will find their next Eli Manning in the quarter-tree? The experience of Daniel Jones having run almost six years without constant success, the Giants are at a crossroads with their quarter situation.
They are faced with a draft class in which the position is not as well supplied as last year. They also choose third place, behind two teams (Titans and Browns) which are in the quarter.
The two best prospects most often linked to the giants are the Sanders Sanders of Miami and Sheder from Colorado. The two have strengths and weaknesses, but what is better comes down to the right adjustment, short -term and long -term.
David Syversten of OURLADS SCOUTING SERVICES recently analyzed both The strengths and weaknesses of the quarter-rear using five categories: performance against defensive pressure, field passage, ball placement and precision, potential double threat and leadership.
A trait on which the director general of the Giants, Joe Schoen, will surely focus on the contribution to the NFL project is the way in which these NFL signal potential treats pressure. In Syversten’s analysis, Sanders is above Ward in this area.
Behind the trembling offensive line of the Buffaloes, Sanders has pressure on 35% of his drops. He maintained his composure, displaying a percentage of adjusted completion of 70.4 and a 93 NFL passer rating. Conversely, Ward, who appreciated the more robust protection on the Hurricanes, managed only a note of 79 passers -by.
Sanders, finalist of the Heisman trophy, can improve this number over time, but his contemporary could be more equipped to immediately resist a vulnerable line at the next level.
Sanders has been dismissed 94 times in the last two seasons and has always launched 7,364 yards and 64 affected. He might need a shorter adjustment period. The giants are regularly confronted with injury problems in the trenches, so that their starting quarterrier must show good judgment in their pocket.
The two players managed to switch to the bottom of the field, making deep throws about 50% of the time while limiting turnover.
Syvertssen gives Sanders the advantage of precision and ball placement, praising its consistency in its launch mechanics. But Ward stands out more as a double threat.
Ward, the All-American consensus which excelled in Incarnate Word and the state of Washington before arriving in Miami, has notable versatility in its game.
He uses his mobility to escape bags and prolong the games, two characteristics of an effective modern quarter of the NFL. In 2024, Ward completed its 4,313 yards by the pass and 39 affected with 204 yards on the ground and four additional scores. He can harm defenses in various ways.
In terms of personality, Sanders and Ward could not be more different. Sanders embraces the spotlight, while Ward is more discreet. They both set the tone, proposing their respective programs to their best seasons for several years.
The giants, on the other hand, do not necessarily need that their quarterrier will be a strong voice, but a strong presence, as well as growth and coherence, are essential.
In the final analysis of Syversten, Sanders has the upper floor. That said, the giants will continue to show reasonable diligence on which of the two is the right choice for the organization.
