When asked directly to the coach about a player’s future, he sometimes feels no choice but to dance around the truth with good service. Let’s take what 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said about quarterback Jimmy Garappolo as an example of creating a movement room: “I think Jimmy will be our quarterback next year.”
That’s different from Giants coach Joe Judge’s unpredictable vote of confidence for quarterback Daniel Jones, who voluntarily included himself in an answer to a question Monday about penalties on the offensive line. The judge pointed to Jones ’safety and decision-making as reasons why he is a“ key piece ”for the future.
“You always want to know about‘ Is Daniel our boy? Will we continue with Daniel? The answer is absolutely, ”the judge said.
“What gives us that confidence is even in games like [Sunday] where it didn’t come out perfectly … you look at the tape and you see that guy who operates in it, who executes, who understands the pressure, and who not only stays in there with courage as he has done all the time and has given a blow , but he understands how to do it, take the blow and make a precise pass and move the sticks around the field “.
