Mighty Giants - 2021 looks like a pretty barren roster!
I think Schoen is doing things the right way. Is he perfect? No. No one is.

Followed by midseason next year by HC "Sparky".
And Shoen is on a shorter leash than ever.
We are in cap hell.....again.
And this draft better be special, cuz the first two ain't even close.
Quote from: Giantleap56 on December 27, 2023, 08:44:46 PMIt's not the players it's the coaching. It's always been the coaching. If you can't get the players on the same page it's the coaching. OL is all about preparation, not having backups ready that's coaching. The Giants haven't had a good offensive line coach in a long long time. The Giants need to find the best and make him an offer. Go to the 49ers or Eagle poach their offensive line coach.
Quote from: Painter on December 10, 2023, 03:37:43 PMIt seems clear that you and I see it very differently, Jess. With due respect, I suspect that your view is askew due to your anti-Jones bias, a consequence of which is to minimize, mitigate, or deflect from the fact that the Giants Oline through 12 games has been among the worst in pass blocking in NFL history.
We aren't just looking at a team ranked last in both Total and Passing Offense (in yards and in scoring, both total and per game) but also and more than incidentally- more like outrageous- an NFL leading 54 sacks, 183 pressures allowed, the last time I looked while gagging.
As I suggested above, I wouldn't be surprised to see them change Oline Coaches at season's end even though I'm not sure that any of the Olinemen other than Thomas, Schmitz (and for now, Evan Neal) are worth keeping.
Still, it won't have anything to do with whether a healthy Daniel Jones will be the Giants starting QB in '2024. We can take it from Joe Schoen, he will be. It is, for no other reason that based on his 10 win including a Road PO game and a NFL's 6th best QBR in 2022 that they signed him to new 4 year deal for which they must pay him no less than $35 million guaranteed next season, healthy or not.
Of course, with only Tommy "Cutlets" DeVito there as backup, it does seem likely that whether or not they add a FA, they also may add someone in the Draft. Still, even if they end up picking in the 5 to 8 range, I'd be surprised if they used it on one of the current 3 or 4 highly-rated QBs.
In any event, whatever they do, they had damn-well better FIX that Division 2 Oline before it butchers another QB and season.
Cheers!
I've been a major Jones proponent. I always yearned to see him have receivers to throw to and an O-line to protect him. That said, this is the NFL. You're never going to have the perfect suite of players to complement you. With the cap, you may have some deficiencies at WR or be missing a much needed guard/tackle. And yet, I've seen across the league that the good QBs make do with what they have and flourish. Jones does not have those intangibles. He looked mechanical and rigid. Something just did not click this year and he seemed off from the first game and never really recovered (outside of Zona in the 2nd half).
Tommy D may not be Brock Purdy but he has shown that perhaps it wasn't the "coaching" the "scheme" the "line" the "receivers" it may have just been that Jones is not a fit for Daboll and/or he is just a middling QB with a high draft pick around his neck. If we're truly honest, it happens. Guys like Darnold and Sanchez may have had some good games here and there but consistency is key.
Quote from: Ed Vette on November 30, 2023, 10:22:00 AMI think back on how many times Gary Myers and Paul Schwartz fired Tom Coughlin because he lost the team.
Sometimes I think the only one who focus' on what's important is Patty Traina. She had some excellent questions at Daboll's presser.
Quote from: GeauxJints on November 29, 2023, 10:52:51 PMWouldn't mind grabbing Ewers in the second round. Guy has a load of talent and moxie.
Quote from: katkavage on November 23, 2023, 10:22:47 AMNice of Dave to put the Giants there when he reached for Jones. The question is: do you have faith in Schoen? He is doing his homework now. His rep will be on the line. Not to mention his job.
Quote from: MightyGiants on November 17, 2023, 06:09:02 PMI listened to his podcast (it's a really good episode). The list Carl is referring to is the historic list of first round QBs and how many bust.
Quote from: Ed Vette on November 17, 2023, 11:02:21 AMI believe he's involved in GM, HC, and QB hiring decisions. I also believe he's in the Draft Planning room as an ear near the end. I also think he and the GM communicate throughout the season. I don't believe he meddles to the point where others have commented.
Compared to other team owners we have a good one. Mara is a bit old school and archaic in his view of the hierarchy but I think he is more hands off this time around than most say. He knows going loyal and "in house" cost the team dearly with Gettleman, he is giving Schoen and Daboll time to mold the team.
