Welcome back. It's the Big Blue Banter. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

Join, as always my co-ist Nick

The Lotto. It's a Friday afternoon in the offseason. And offseason means let's have some fun.

Let's talk about the hot topics and Giants Twitter. There's always a new one every day. And

this recent topic got a lot of people fired up yesterday, Nick. And for those who haven't caught up,

we have had a few podcasts before this this week. One I really thought was one of our best in a while. So if you haven't caught up, check out part one of our offseason series. It's going to be a five-part series. We're going to get back into early next week, probably on Monday. And that's going to be the five biggest burning questions facing the Giants. We tackled the quarterback situation, as in what do do? Do they move forward with Jones? And if they do, do they want to try to win now with Jones or do they try to find another quarterback? And how do they do that? And despite all that, Nick, and it was an hour plus podcast that some people loved, most people love. One person said it should have been shorter. I get it. Look, we're trying to condense at times. But quarterback's not a position that takes short of merit periods of time to talk about. But even through that, Nick, we didn't even touch on the one possibility that we'll have to tackle another day, which is the possibility of trading for Justin Fields. We tackled just about every avenue possible at quarterback and mentioned every possible option, but the field's option.

And that's an interesting one that I would be curious to get your thoughts on Nick at some point.

And my thoughts as well, just kind of a brief recap for me would be considering how few

upside options seem available to me at quarterback this offseason, especially once Ben Johnson

gets that Washington job, which I think locks in Drake May or at worst James Daniels at number two overall. It's terrible for the Giants. Ben Johnson's not going to not take a quarterback. He's not an idiot. He's taking a quarterback there. But they don't need to find him offensive line, by the way. Washington is nothing on the offensive line. So it's not that good. But, you know, not many upside options, Fields comes to mind, Nick, as a potential upside option. I'm going to be honest with you, just based on the physical tools, though. Like, I, it's physical tools plus just the prayer and the hope that Brian Dale can completely rework his mind, Nick, and get him thinking on just a completely different wavelength. Like, forget everything that you've been taught so far from your coach is the NFL level. I ever flus and whoever they've had in there. Not even if he's the head coach. Whoever those OCs have been in there. I need you to think my way. And if he could click, there's obvious physical tools there. I mean, everyone says Daniel Jones can make all the throws. He can make all the throws, I guess, but he doesn't have anywhere near the velocity or armed talent of Justin Fields. Now, Justin Fields is an alien athlete.

Yeah. can make all the throws. He can make all the throws, I guess. But he doesn't have anywhere near the velocity or arm talent of Justin Fields. Justin Fields is an alien. He's an alien with that and with the athletic ability. And you're right. He's only 24 years old. We'll save this for another podcast. I typically don't like trading for young quarterbacks who are about to make bank. That's something that I am usually opposed to. But Justin Fields is very unique in the sense that he is a freak athlete with a freak arm. And we've seen Dave will take players who like Josh Allen in the past who didn't necessarily have the mental side of it nailed down and then force them to be essentially the superstars that they become. Right. So there's a little bit to that. The only thing that scares me with that, and we'll talk again and more about this if it ever, we may never do a pod on this, but if the rumors start up and there's actual speculation that the giants may be interested in this route, that's when we'll tackle it. But the one thing is, like with Allen and versus the field situation is Alan was fresh. That's the one thing that scares me. It was fresh coming into the NFL. It's the first system he was taught. He was taught how to learn that way.

Fields has been... situation is Alan was fresh. That's the one thing that scares me. It was fresh coming into the NFL.

It's the first system he was taught.

He was taught how to learn that way. Fields has been put so much crap has been put into his head similar with Jones with all the systems. It's like, is he there? Is there any chance to break this mentally? Maybe, but it just scares me a little on that front. And then one final thing on that, Nick, is just the wrap-up of, like, the somewhat irony

of if they were to make that move and trade the Giants for Justin Fields, they'd be putting

him in a very similar situation to where the Giants were at with Daniel Jones for the

2022 season where, like, if you could coax up a really good season from this quarterback on

film with a good scheme, but it's also a scheme or it's also a sample size that will get figured out after eight games of film go out, like Daniel Jones 2020, you are putting yourself in the same position of you're probably going to make him go through a prove it year. Then you get stuck with potentially giving him that massive contract again after one prove it year. And then you're doing the same thing essentially of bad sample size for most of it, one good year of the, you know, and then forget the rest of the sample size. Let's give the contract based on the one year and the projection of that moving forward. So it's a little tricky from that standpoint. But obviously the Giants may have to get creative when it comes to quarterback this offseason. If their objective is to upgrade at that position. We don't know yet if they're even interested in that. But today is not about that. Today we want to talk about these Kvon-Dibbado comments on a recent podcast. I think it was Carmelo Anthony's podcast. Some interesting stuff there. I think there's a lot of angles from them. But let's start with the angle that is being talked about the most, Nick. And I know we have this clip up, so we're going to play it in a second. But that angle is Kvon Tibido essentially saying, look, I think the locker room, or at least from his perspective, felt like Sequin Barclay should have been paid before Daniel Jones got his contract this past off season. Obviously, the result was Daniel Jones got his big

four year, 160 million dollar contract. And Berkeley didn't get the contractor, didn't get paid in that
