the Daboll/Schoen regime - on the brink, it seems

the owner who had recently gotten rid of the HC and GM who drafted Jones?

That's the one.

There is no way Schoen returns after watching Saquon explode with a division rival and Daniel Jones collapse after signing him to that contract.  A new GM will want to choose his coach.  Daboll is headed back to whichever college program is rehabbing failed NFL HCs or Cleveland.

Shocking development

I can see Daniel Jones taking over from Mitch Trubisky as the backup QB here in 2026…. He seems to have the attributes they value in a backup looking at the previous guys that have filled the role

I “believed” this three years ago….can I now be an NFL “insider”?

And water is wet.  Not sure it takes an NFL "insider" to tell us that.

But Daboll is the reason Josh became Josh and he can do the exact same thing with Jones. I don't get this

his entire career is that of a coaching Zelig

[Malazan]

Daniel Jones career with the Giants ended a couple years ago. They just need to fix the glitch and find his stapler.

I was dumbfounded by Gettleman's explanation that he passed on a quarterback because he still thought a 37 year old Eli Manning had a few good years left.  His decline was obvious at that point and he was never that great to begin with.

Their one coach had it right and benched Eli and their fans flipped out and demanded he be put back in. That and the Barkley pick will set the franchise back 10 years.

Schoen will be back in Buffalo. Daboll will be OC in Chicago.

Funny yet, it could very well happen, 🤣

The owner could have directed them to do that, though.

I think he did and that will be Schoen’s excuse to keep his job. At least let me select my own QB!

[BuffaloBaumer]

I speculated that news when he was drafted by the Giants

He was good in the playoffs and helped take down the evil empire twice on the biggest stage. I don't think he is HOF worthy, but he was a good QB. IMHO

In some quarters, two Lombardis equals automatic HOF induction.  I don't buy it.  He was usually just an average player.

[Mikie2times]

This is why he makes the big bucks

There have been under currents in the local media suggesting that's what happened.

If they were forced to keep jones is the big question?

Or if it was group agreement where they will give him one more shot then move on if he showed nothing this year

Yeah, well.  Josh became Josh for a lot of reasons, chief among them really hard work and determination to improve on Josh's part.  He spend offseasons with Jordan Palmer working on fundamentals, learning how to pass properly and how to think like a QB.  That was 70% of the reasons for the improvement.  Daboll gets most of the rest of the credit for understanding what Josh was good at and developing an offense tailored to those aspects.  

 

Jones has never had the raw talent that Josh has, never.  He was on track to do the equivalent of sleeping yourself to the middle, in corporate speak.  Whatever hard work he put in was never going to make him even above average.  Watching him now is painful.  He's really bad.
