Big Blue Huddle

I think you answered your own question. They've hit pay dirt twice with the coaches and quarterbacks but only once with their GM's.

The Giants had a great GM in George Young (until he lost his fastball).  After Young, they had Earnie Accorsi, who was a good but not great GM.  Jerry Reese started off hot (with a great 2007 draft), but he drove the team into the ground.  David Gettleman was a complete disaster, and the verdict is still out on Schoen.

The Giants hit paydirt with Bill Parcells, but they followed that with the disaster that was Ray Handley.  Dan Reeves was a pretty good head coach, but he liked to play GM, which he was not good at.  He was followed by Jim Fassel, who wasn't horrible but was a bit flawed.  The Giants hit paydirt again with Tom Coughlin.   Since Coughlin, it has been a merry-go-round of failed head coaches Ben McAdoo, Pat Shurmur, and Joe Judge.  The verdict on the current HC, Brian Daboll, is still out.

The Giants hit on Phil Simms.  When the Giants cut Simms, they went with failed Dave Brown.  As Brown was released, you had Kannel and Kent Graham.  The Giants found a solid one in Kerry Collins. The Giants upgraded from Collins with Eli Manning.   Since Manning's retirement the Giants have had Daniel Jones.


So, which position have the Giants had the most struggles finding a solid candidate?

Tough loss last night, but I thought it was a great effort. A lot of people out there thought the Knicks would get blown out last night, possibly resting players and saving themselves for game four.

Instead, they were not only in the game late, but they were leading fairly late in the game, and they managed this without OG plus all their other injuries. Basically, the Nova three led the team again, and it feels like as long as these three games are playing you always have a shot.

To be fair, I am worried about OG, because I think they may still need him to win this series, and if they were to advance, they will certainly need him to have any sort of shot of even being competitive against the Celtics (assuming the Celtics advance). I worry about OG because hamstrings are usually not a "day to day" thing, as the Knicks are publicly characterizing this injury. They tend to take a while to heal, so I worry he could be done. I hope that's not the case.

All in all though, a good effort last night despite the final result. This team has a ton of heart and grit. Hopefully they can get it done tomorrow.
