SHOCKING NEWS: Giants GM Uses Patrick Mahomes’ Career to Boost Daniel Jones’ Confidence! You Won’t Believe the Parallel He Drawn!”

The New York Giants did not meet expectations last season, one year removed from a promising playoff year with Daniel Jones at the controls of Coach Brian Daboll’s offense. In response, General Manager Joe Schoen shared a surprising Patrick Mahomes comparison to Jones that has NFL fans talking nationwide.

The Giants news came amid interest in free agent Xavien Howard that is heating up. Three candidates for being cut on the Giants’ roster were also revealed ahead of fall training camp

The Giants have plenty of optimism for this upcoming season, but it all starts with Jones and the health of his teammates, as noted by Schoen recently

Schoen spoke on the HBO show ‘Hard Knocks’ during which he took aim at Daniel Jones haters. Schoen is still in Jones’ corner judging by his comments, as he unleashed a Patrick Mahomes comparison that few watchers expected

“(In) Miami, we got three (expletive) practice squad guys playing for us,” Schoen said. “You could have Patrick Mahomes and he can’t (expletive) win behind that,” Schoen said during the offseason football show.

The Giants allowed an NFL-high 85 sacks last season and are hoping for a better prepared and more intact offensive line in 2024-2025 with a healthy Jones behind center.

The Giants are expected to head into the 2024 season with Jones as their starting QB. Drew Lock has come over from Seattle by way of the Denver Broncos while last year’s fan favorite Tommy DeVito has control of the third slot on the depth chart at this time.

Last year’s second and at times third stringer Tyrod Taylor is now a member of the New York Jets where he will be backing up Aaron Rodgers for Coach Robert Saleh’s team

The Giants’ QB situation is far from the best in the NFL but Coach Daboll’s defense is more than serviceable when it’s firing on all cylinders.

The Giants won’t be mistaken for NFC East favorites anytime soon with Philadelphia adding Saquon Barkley this offseason and the Cowboys revamping things this offseason in pursuit of another division title. They could have a chance to play “Giant Killers,’ however, with Jones and a revamped offensive line, along with a healthier team that Joe Schoen and the rest of the Giants’ from office can count on in the coming months.
