“I don’t know what his intent was,” Slayton said on Thursday, per the New York Daily News. “I think I saw a tweet he said maybe he got distracted or something like that and that’s why he paused. But whatever it was, regardless … it’s easy to say negative things once there’s a negative narrative around a person. But it doesn’t always make it – well, in this case it doesn’t make it true. Nor does he see him on a day-in, day-out basis.”
“I think because we play in prime time a lot, we’re media-covered a lot, we’re the Giants,” Slayton said. “If we were the Jaguars, like you don’t hear anybody say anything about Trevor Lawrence. Or Justin Herbert, for that matter. Matter of fact, if you ask most people about Justin Herbert, they’d probably tell you that he’s a top-five quarterback, but under what logic? Can you really make a case for that, that he’s a top-five quarterback? You just believe he’s [Herbert] capable of that because you see the big arm, basically that he’s big, he’s tall, he has a rocket of an arm. You assume his processing is good. You assume he’s smart and all these things. You don’t actually know, though.”
“The thing with the money is, that’s what quarterbacks get paid,” Slayton said. “You don’t see anybody talking about Derek Carr. And I actually think Derek Carr’s a good quarterback. But I’m just saying, what did the Saints do? Derek Carr could do something bad three weeks in a row and you would hear nothing about it. I don’t even know what he did this preseason. I don’t know if he’s played good or bad this preseason. But D.J. is on Good Morning Football. It’s just not the same. But it is what it is.”
