The New York Giants are keeping head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen despite a lackluster season. Owner John Mara acknowledged the pressing need to find a long-term quarterback solution. While Mara didn't guarantee Schoen and Daboll's jobs for two more years, he admitted their performance will be evaluated. The Giants' decision to extend Daniel Jones was criticized, and the team's quarterback situation remains a major concern.
That’s obviously the No. 1 issue for us going into this offseason — to find our quarterback of the future,” Mara said Monday, after his decision toBut Mara notably did not commit to avoiding the Daniel Jones cycle of failure by guaranteeing that Schoen and Daboll would remain in their jobs for two more seasons.The Giants fired head coach and play-caller Pat Shurmur after Jones ’ promising rookie season and the 2019 first-round draft pick never looked the same.
Mara infamously said in 2022 that the Giants had done everything possible to “screw up” Jones.“I’m not going to put any kind of time limit on it,” Mara said, “but I understand where you are going with that.”If Schoen and Daboll are on the hot seat, they could feel motivated to act out of self-preservation and force a quarterback draft pick rather than make honest scouting assessments. Kirk Cousins, Justin Fields, Russell Wilson and Carson Wentz are the top free agent quarterbacks available if the Giants choose to go the veteran route. Schoen and Daboll have a spotty record thus far on their quarterback evaluations: They decided to extend Jones on a four-year, $160 million contract, passed on drafting Michael Penix Jr. (Falcons) and Bo Nix (Broncos) in the 2024 draft before both showed varied levels of promise as rookies. Schoen signed Drew Lock to be their backup to Jones and then Daboll bypassed Lock for Tommy DeVito when Jones was cut, and then went back to Lock over DeVito.But the Jones decision is the biggest miss that turned the direction of the franchise on its head. By keeping Schoen and Daboll, are they absolved of that mistake? “No,” Mara said. “We made a decision at the end of the 2022 season based on how Daniel had played that we were going to sign him to that contract. I approved that.” Drafting Sanders or Ward would’ve been much easier if the Giants lost in Week 17 to the Colts and had the No. 1 overall pic
