The article highlights the New York Giants' struggle, attributing blame to ownership for keeping GM Joe Schoen, who is searching for quick solutions to a team that performed poorly last season. Co-owner John Mara expressed dissatisfaction and impatience, signaling the urgency for improvement. The piece discusses Schoen’s inclination to pursue a veteran quarterback, specifically mentioning Matthew Stafford, but suggests that such a move would be based on desperation rather than a realistic strategy for team improvement, particularly given the strong competition in their division.
Ultimately, ownership is to blame. Because it is allowing Joe Schoen to remain the Giants general manager, searching for a quick fix when no such elixir exists for a team that won three of 17 games this past season.
Of course Schoen is going to search for a shortcut, to try and acquire the best quarterback available. Of course he would prioritize the present over the future... and strengthen his case for 2026.
Only under the influence of desperation would acquiring Matthew Stafford make sense for the Giants. Only then could Schoen... imagine the 37-year-old helping solve the team's many problems.
Only then could you envision the Giants rising in a division featuring the Super Bowl champions (Philadelphia), its NFC Championship Game opponent (Washington) and Dallas, which won 12 games in three straight seasons.
