Complete organizational malpractice by the Giants. And it's all on the owner.
First, Mara comes out last year and says that "maybe he fired people too quickly" in the past, when asked about Daboll and Schoen.
OK, so he wants to give those two a chance to succeed. Fine.
Come the end of the season you have no QB and a poor QB class, and the feeling is that next year's class is a lot better. The obvious solution is to gut it through another losing season so that you have a high pick to spend on one of those QBs and re-start. You can use your #3 to build up other parts of the squad in anticipation of that.
But you let Schoen go out and sign Wilson & Winston. They're not getting you to the playoffs, especially in that division, but probably winning enough games that you've now lessened your chances on getting that blue chip QB.
That was all bad enough.
But now you've given up capital to pick up a 1st round rookie QB who is absolutely not ready to start on Day One, and who most commentators think is a long shot to become a starting NFL QB, never mind a good one.
So what are you going to do now? Play Dart in December when you're out of the playoffs anyway and hope that he's transcendent? If he's not, pick another QB next year and flush all you spent on Dart down the toilet? Or, stick with Dart and finish ~.500 for the next few years, eventually and inevitably firing Schoen & Daboll anyway?
An Owner's job should be to set up the organizational structure for success and on every level Mara has failed. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
