Giants GM Joe Schoen urged to ‘get rid of Daniel Jones’ during scouting trip

Poor Joe Schoen. The New York Giants general manager, who was at the University of Colorado this weekend on a scouting trip to look toward the future, received a not-so-gentle reminder of the present and what awaits him at returning to East Rutherford on Monday. from a fan who was in the stands for the Buffaloes’ game against the Utah Utes.

The unseen fans could be heard shouting, “Get rid of (quarterback) Daniel Jones!” several times during the clip, which showed Travis Hunter warming up before the game, but did not show Schoen, who was likely on the court before the game.

Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll are both at a crossroads regarding the Giants’ quarterback situation. Jones, now in his sixth season, has not played consistently. The Giants have only won two games and are currently on a five-game losing streak.

But Schoen and Daboll, who will ultimately make the decision if they haven’t already, said the team’s woes don’t lie only with the quarterback play.

“It’s everyone. Everybody contributed to this,” Schoen said last week during his annual bye week press briefing. “I know as a quarterback and offensive coordinator, head coach, a lot of people like to point to those guys in general.

“Daniel has played some good matches, and there are some matches where he might like to go back or do things differently, but in general it’s not an individual or a situation that keeps happening, unfortunately .”

Schoen and Daboll vowed to evaluate everything during the team’s time off, which ends Sunday.

Daboll, who left the door open for a quarterback change in his latest address to the media a day after the team returned from its loss to the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany, is expected to announce the decision regarding the quarterback after addressing this point. with the quarterbacks and then with the team when the players return to the Quest Diagnostics training center on Monday.

The general consensus is that Jones, who has thrown eight touchdowns and seven interceptions, completed 63.3 percent of his passes and has a total quarterback rating of 46.5 according to ESPN, will be on the bench for the remainder of time. so the team doesn’t continue to expose this. $23 million injury guarantee in his contract.

This guarantee would come into effect five days after the start of the new championship year if he could not pass a medical examination. If that were to come to pass, it would likely make cutting Jones even more difficult, as the remainder of his prorated signing bonus would reduce the team’s available cap space, which Over the Cap says is currently projected at $42.307 million.

But at the end of last week, Athletics Dianna Russini reported that Jones’ sidelining it wasn’t necessarily a done dealthat one of the things to consider is whether Jones, despite his struggles, still gives the team the best chance to win one of these remaining seven games, a few of which Daboll probably needs to solidify his ground.

Jones was the first of three first-round picks by the Giants in 2019, selected No. 6 overall out of Duke. This class also produced defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence II and cornerback DeAndre Baker.
