I get how upset they’re. I attempt to answer them. No one was extra upset than I’m about how we carried out in recent times. I’ve to face up right here and take the warmth for that.”
As an alternative, Schoen and Daboll might be again subsequent season and spend the following few months looking for a quarterback – the Giants have the No 3 general choose within the draft in April – whereas making an attempt to construct a roster to compete within the NFC East after going 0-6 within the division and ending 1-8 at house general.
“That’s clearly the No 1 subject for us going into this offseason, is to search out our quarterback of the longer term,” Mara stated. “Whether or not that be by way of the draft or buying a veteran, it’s going to be as much as them to determine, in the end.”

Jones returned this season wholesome, however was benched for poor play after New York bought off to a 2-8 begin. He requested for and was given his launch by the Giants, who then used Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock as beginning quarterbacks as New York received simply certainly one of its ultimate seven video games – placing each Schoen and Daboll’s job in jeopardy.
“Three wins, not ok. So, numerous work to be completed,” Daboll stated after the Giants’ season-ending 20-13 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
“We stunk this 12 months,” Mara stated. “The outcomes on the sphere weren’t what we wished them to be. There have been a lot of elements that went into that.”
Not re-signing operating again Saquon Barkley definitely didn’t assist, particularly after he ran for two,005 yards for NFC East-rival Philadelphia and challenged Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season file.
“If I’m sitting right here a 12 months from now and also you’re asking me these questions, I’ll take the warmth,” Mara stated. “However on the finish of the day, we’ve bought to decide and we’ve made one.”
