Cam Ward ‘more equipped’ to play QB for New York Giants

If the New York Giants have their pick of quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL draft, who would be the best fit?

That’s a debate that’s raged among Giants fans for the past month and a fair question considering the likelihood that general manager Joe Schoen drafts one.

So, would it be Miami’s Cam Ward or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders?

NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah was asked that very question during a conference call with reporters on Thursday.

“I like Shedeur. I think Shedeur is — when you look at the things he does really well, the accuracy, anticipation, toughness, he just keeps getting up after taking a beating,” he said. “But some of the other things that Cam has, (Sanders) doesn’t have, which is just a little bit more twitch in his body. He has a more live arm.

“I think (Ward) is more equipped to play in that division, in that stadium, in that environment that you’re going to get with weather. I think Shedeur makes more sense just as relying a little bit more as a touch thrower than a power thrower.”

Jeremiah believes Sanders’ qualities are better suited for a team like the Las Vegas Raiders or New Orleans Saints.

Meanwhile, Jeremiah left the door open to the Giants trading for Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, which is why he had them passing on both Ward and Sanders in his most recent mock draft.

“I’m sitting here thinking, man, you talk about turning around some excitement here in that market, and you trot out there Week 1 and you have Matthew Stafford throwing the ball to Malik Nabers and looking at Travis Hunter on the opposite side of the ball, and who knows what else they can do with the money they have in free agency,” he said. “And is Cooper Kupp part of that? Is that a package deal with him and Stafford? So that was my mind, that was kind of where I was going in my fantasyland as we got to that mock draft.”

That comment is going to have Giants fans dreaming.
