John Knopf: Our family has been following the progress of the Giants rebuild (Schoen) vs. the progress made by the Bears (hometown native Ryan Poles). The Bears seem to be a little further along.
Any thoughts on the Poles vs. Schoen team building approach, as both were considered for the Giants GM job.
Ed says: John, are the Chicago Bears really farther along than the Giants? Poles and Joe Schoen have been in their jobs for two years. Here is the breakdown:
Bears: 10-24 (3-14 in 2022, 7-10 this year)
Giants: 15-18-1 regular season (9-7-1 in 2022, 6-11 this year; 1-1 in the playoffs
Using the ‘you are what your record says you are argument,’ over the two years the Giants have been more successful.
