Before the season, the New York Giants were the perfect trade partners for Deshaun Watson. They had their first round pick, and the Chicago Bears first round pick, two teams who were expected to miss the postseason in 2021. Daniel Jones was set to fail behind a run heavy offense led by an injury prone back, and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, who consistently refused to incorporate a vertical passing game into his offense. The pieces were kind of there. The decision makers couldn’t pull it off.
After another disastrous season, with more fired head coaches and general managers, and two top ten picks, the Giants need a franchise quarterback.
