New York Giants officially have the funniest quarterback room in the NFL

Nobody really knows what the New York Giants’ plan is at quarterback. I don’t even think they know what the plan is.

A few days ago, the Giants signed one of my favorite players in the league, Jameis Winston — fulfilling the prophecy Saquon Barkley set in motion at the Super Bowl. That alone was hilarious, not just because Winston is naturally entertaining, but because the Giants are a complete dumpster fire.

Winston always seems to land in the worst quarterback situations. Last year, it was with the Browns and Deshaun Watson; this year, it’s the Giants. At this point, it feels like a cruel joke.

Then, on Tuesday, the Giants added Mr. Unlimited himself, Russell Wilson. Wilson is funny in his own way, but it’s the kind of humor that comes from unintentional awkwardness. When he cracks jokes and calls himself “Mr. Unlimited,” we’re not laughing with him — we’re laughing at him.

Giants complete the trifecta

New York now has three quarterbacks on the roster: Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Tommy “Cutlets” DeVito. It’s a trio only the Giants could assemble — three completely different quarterbacks, all seemingly competing for the starting job (I think?). Wilson is probably the early favorite, but let’s be honest — we all want to see an open competition, especially between Jameis and Wilson.

To put it bluntly, neither of them is particularly good — but that just makes it more entertaining. Jameis will throw some of the worst interceptions you’ve ever seen, single-handedly losing games. But that’s just who he is. He’s the type of quarterback who’ll rack up 350+ yards and four touchdowns, yet finish with a passer rating in the low 90s because he also tossed three picks.

Wilson, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He’s an extremely average quarterback who refuses to take risks. No matter the outcome, his stat line has to look clean. That’s the diva in him — the team can fall apart, but he can’t afford to look bad.

Then there’s DeVito, the wildcard. He almost certainly won’t win the starting job, but if I had to bet, I’d say he gets a few starts at some point. The Giants somehow manage to cycle through at least four different quarterbacks every season, so I’m just playing the odds here.

And let’s not forget the growing buzz about Shedeur Sanders potentially being drafted by New York. That would give the Giants a has-been in Wilson, a class clown in Winston, an Italian uncle in DeVito, and then Deion Sanders’ son in the mix? Pure chaos. As an Eagles fan, I’m all for it.
