The majority of Giants fans are unhappy with owner's decision to stay after the worst season in franchise history.
John Mara's announcement Monday morning that general manager Joe Schon and head coach Brian Daboll would return in 2025, despite a franchise-record 14 losses, left a fan base that wanted both players. reacted with a mixture of disbelief, anger and gallows humor. Gone.
“I don't understand how John Mara can have confidence in these two,” one Post commenter wrote in response to the news. “The Giants have clearly regressed over the past two seasons. This should be enough to fire the GM, HC and staff immediately.”
As of 10:30 a.m., a Post online poll found roughly 64% of more than 1,000 voters said Mr. Mara beat Mr. Schoen and Daboll after leading the Giants to the playoffs in his first year in office. He replied that he thought it was a mistake to reinstate him. Until the 6-11 season and 3-14 season.
After that playoff season, the Giants signed Daniel Jones to a four-year, $160 million contract, but Jones, who went 3-13 as a starter over the past two seasons, was signed midway through the 2024 season. It was decided to be cancelled.
Now they need a new QB, and while many are pegging Shedule Sanders and Cam Ward as the top two QBs in the 2025 NFL Draft class, this QB class is considered weaker than last year's. are.
The Giants' win over the Colts in Week 17 cost them the No. 1 pick. They will now have to pick No. 3 against the Titans and Browns, both of whom are in need of a QB.
“In most companies, if you make a $120 million mistake, you lose your job. Sign Jones and let Saquon go. [Barkley] Walking without pay is grounds for termination,” another commenter on the Post wrote. “Do you now trust the GM who made these decisions in the rebuilding draft? He took a big gamble and lost, so it's time to find a new GM.”
Another commenter on the post simply said: “This is ridiculous. I'm done with the Giants.”
The reaction to Mara's announcement on the Giants' X account was similar.
“I've been a season ticket holder for 12 years and understand the heartache of the fans. I missed out on my father's appendectomy at what I thought would be the end of a glorious season, but it's yet another disappointment. ” wrote X user @PrideofSpuyten. “I'm done with the Giants. It's time to find a new Sunday ritual where I don't have to watch my hopes dashed every week.”
But some fans agree with Mara's call after years of layoffs.
“Stay the course. This team needs stability. This is the right thing to do,” said one commenter on the post.
“Good choice. You can't keep changing GMs and coaches. Trade 3rd pick for OL and get QB from Ole Miss. [Jaxson Dart] later. “
