If you are a Giants fan, it is fair for you to wonder whether Pat Shurmur is the right coach to lead you out of this desert of despair.
Shurmur isn’t on the hot seat just yet, but his mandate now is threefold: Win some damn games, keep the locker room unified and, most of all, develop Daniel Jones. Because should Jones regress instead of progress, Shurmur’s seat will only get warmer and warmer.
The growing pains are predictable, yes, but Shurmur better start making a convincing case to the jury now.
No one in their right mind had the 2019 Giants pegged as a playoff team.
