Quote from: TONKA56 on Today at 09:26:19 AMMuch of the early criticism of Dave Gettleman was that he basically was a front man hired to do the bidding of the Maras.
For example:
"We aren't replacing Eli Manning. Build a team around him. Draft Saquon Barkley."
"We aren't replacing Daniel Jones. Build a team around him."
"We aren't trading Saquon Barkley. Pay the man."
Many suggested that if such ultimatums were issued at the time of Gettleman's hiring, he should have simply refused the job.
I see a lot folks STILL insist that directives come from John or Chris Mara concerning Daniel Jones' future.
If Gettleman really should have refused the position based on Mara meddling, should the same criticism not apply to Joe Schoen? Do we really believe that Jones is still here because he is the pet of team ownership? Is Joe Schoen really bending to the will of John & Chris Mara? Is Mara Meddling really as big a thing as it's made out to be?
