The quarterback position always seems to be an issue with the New York Giants, or at least it has been that way for the last half-decade or so.
That issue doesn’t appear to be stopping anytime soon.
CBS Sports’ Emory Hunt joined the “Ross Tucker Podcast” to chat about what the quarterback position could look like this season for Big Blue.
“You already know he’s (Daniel Jones) not the answer…I already think Lock will end up winning that job,” Hunt said Tuesday.

To say Daniel Jones has underperformed as the starting quarterback of the Giants is a fair statement.
He has thrown a total of 62 touchdowns and 40 interceptions.
He also has a whopping 46 career fumbles.
The Giants are 22-36-1 with him starting under center.
That right there is a pretty clear fact that Jones just isn’t the long-term answer.
This is why Hunt believes that the veteran in Drew Lock could eventually beat out Jones.
Lock has been a backup for most of his five-year career.
But, he has started 23 career games and can bring some new energy to the locker room.
Jones’ performance over the last few years has been sub-par and the main reason why New York has made just one playoff appearance in five years.
With head coach Brian Daboll looking like Ben McAdoo 2.0 right now, he should feel the need to shake up the quarterback room a bit.
New York didn’t draft any exciting, young quarterback prospect in the draft, which means this is the quarterback room that they will have to roll with.
