New York Giants: Why Pat Shurmur Is The Perfect Offensive Play-Caller

If reaching the AFC Championship game wasn’t enough, try reaching it with a third-string quarterback. That’s exactly what New York Giants’ head coach Pat Shurmur did with the Minnesota Vikings in 2017.

Shurmur commandeered his former team to a 13-3 season after losing Sam Bradford and Dalvin Cook. His weapons were far from lackluster, but injuries certainly plagued his supporting cast, which ultimately helped prove his worth to a Giants organization looking to replace Ben McAdoo as head coach.

How great was Shurmur with the Vikings?

The Vikings ranked 10th in the league in overall offense, despite the amount of injuries that occurred.
