Cowboys backup qb jake9/16/2023 ![]() ![]() Jake Fromm will likely start for the Giants in Philly. Maybe Fromm can cultivate a Colt McCoy type of backup quarterback career. Everyone around Fromm insists he is a smart guy. How he functions at hostile Lincoln Financial Field - lest we forget, the Eagles are 6-7 and “in the hunt” in the NFL playoff race - will help determine whether he stays around next season. ![]() To call this a quarterback controversy is to demean the real, juicy quarterback scenarios that fill airwaves and newspapers and so much website space. Fromm was on the Bills’ practice squad - any team out there could have signed him to their roster. None did until the Giants, desperate when Jones went out, needed another body. It looks as if Fromm gets the ball out of his hand quickly and he is more mobile than Glennon. Translation: There is nothing to talk about. Fromm will start this Sunday against the Eagles. Unless Jones’ strained neck receives medical clearance for contact. “He got in there and moved the ball well, did some good things,’’ Judge said, “That will obviously open up the conversation in terms of what we’re going to do next week against Philly.’’ Mike Glennon stumbled at quarterback before being replaced by Jake Fromm APĭid this alter the direction of the game? Of course not. Fromm completed the first four passes of his NFL career and finished 6 of 12 for 82 yards against a Dallas defense uninterested that Fromm was connecting on short stuff. “After that, I said let’s go ahead and get Jake in there.’’ Judge said. One empty offensive series ensued, and then another terrible turnover when Glennon challenged ball-hawk Trevon Diggs, a mixture of bad decision-making and worse physical execution. “I thought we would give Mike one more drive and see what he can do right there,’’ he said. Riddle me this: How many interceptions does it take from Glennon to get him benched? The answer in Sunday’s 21-6 loss to the Cowboys should have been “two.’’ When Glennon on the first play of the fourth quarter threw way behind Sterling Shepard and into the waiting arms of safety Malik Hooker the hook should have come out for Glennon. Enough was enough.Ĭoach Joe Judge said “we had discussions about it on the headset as a staff’’ and it was Judge’s call to wait. The offense was tormented with Daniel Jones and embarrassing without him, making the quarterback scenario about to unfold this week a bit comical and more than a bit bogus. Jake Fromm is likely taking over for the Giants at quarterback Robert Sabo The Giants have five touchdowns in their last five games, but two of them came in garbage time against the Chargers, trailing 37-7 in the fourth quarter. This is a team that’s averaged 11.8 points over its last five games. That it won one of them, 13-7 over the Eagles, is credit to a defense that competes and limits the damage more often than not and never, ever has the luxury of playing down the stretch with a lead. This is what it has come down to with the Giants, 4-10, losers of three straight games, wobbling to the close of another lost season, stumbling into Christmas week with holiday cheer in short supply. There is no “look at the bright side’’ for a team that is so offensively inept and challenged that there are no guarantees they will find the end zone on any given day. The quarterback is always front and center, even if the quarterback is struggling or not very good. If this is the case, there is always a backup to consider. It is the most vital position on the football team and it is virtually impossible to overstate his importance.Įven if it is Jake Fromm in and Mike Glennon out. This is an age-old axiom in times like this, when the team is quite bad and the outlook is quite grim.
