Will Geno Smith or Josh Johnson be Giants’ No. 2 QB? Ben McAdoo hoping for answer Thursday

The Giants will go into their final preseason game looking to figure out who will win the backup quarterback job.

“We’re still not in a position to say who the number two is,” Ben McAdoo said of the competition between Geno Smith and Josh Johnson. “Thursday night we’re hoping it cleans itself up.”

Neither has been good enough to establish himself as the favorite through the first three games. Smith has completed 26 of 43 passes for 244 yards and two interceptions. Johnson is 11-for-20 for 144 yards with no interceptions. Neither has thrown a touchdown pass.
