As the 2025 NFL Draft looms, the New York Giants find themselves at a crossroads. The need for a long-term solution at quarterback is clear, but reaching for one of this year’s top prospects—Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders—would be a costly mistake. Both are projects, not day-one NFL starters, and scouts widely agree they’re second-round talents benefiting from a weak quarterback class. Instead, the Giants should focus on filling critical needs with their early picks and target a high-upside, underappreciated quarterback in later rounds. Enter Kyle McCord, who excelled at Syracuse in 2024. McCord’s Breakout Season at Syracuse After transferring from Ohio State, Kyle McCord quickly became the centerpiece of Syracuse’s offense in 2024. Leading the Orange to an impressive 9-3 record, McCord showed significant growth as a quarterback and proved his ability to thrive in a high-pressure environment.

The notion that Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux are somehow busts because they don’t have the most eye-popping sack numbers is completely absurd. This takes an incredibly narrow view of their performances and ignores the broader context of their situations. Let’s take a step back and actually analyze the bigger picture before rushing to judgment. Injuries Matter First and foremost, Kayvon Thibodeaux missed games this year due to injuries. You can’t expect a player to rack up numbers when he’s not on the field. Availability is important, yes, but it’s not as though Thibodeaux is injury-prone or underperforming when healthy. This is part of the game, and he has plenty of time to bounce back. Defensive Context How can anyone expect Burns or Thibodeaux to consistently get to the quarterback when their defense as a whole is failing them? Consider these two key issues: 1. Run Defense: Teams are running the ball down their defense's throat. If the defensive line and linebackers can’t st...

The New York Giants are finally breaking a destructive cycle. For the first time since the Tom Coughlin era, the organization is showing something it has lacked for years: patience. The decision to stick with Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen, even during tough stretches, is a sign of growth and understanding of how success is built in the NFL. Let’s face it—firing head coaches every two or three years to appease frustrated fans isn’t sustainable. The NFL is a league that demands consistency, and teams that cycle through leadership rarely find success. Look no further than the Detroit Lions. After years of being the league's punching bag, the Lions took the time to build under Dan Campbell. It wasn’t an overnight success, but now they’re thriving. The Giants seem to finally be embracing that same long-term mindset. Yes, mistakes have been made in the past. Poor drafts, bad contracts, and an inability to build a cohesive vision put the team in a constant state of chaos. Giants fans have e...

The past few weeks have been an eye-opener for Eagles fans, whether they’re ready to admit it or not. Since Jalen Hurts suffered his injury, we’ve seen backup quarterbacks step in and, frankly, outperform Hurts in terms of execution and consistency. It’s a tough pill to swallow for the die-hard “Hurts Homers,” but the numbers don’t lie. Let’s talk about the cold, hard facts. Jalen Hurts finished the season ranked 20th in passing yards and 18th in passing touchdowns. For a quarterback hailed by some as an MVP-caliber player, those rankings are mediocre at best. To make matters worse, the Eagles’ offense as a whole is 30th in passing yards, averaging a paltry 180 yards per game—all under the leadership of Hurts. The truth is that Hurts has consistently struggled as a passer. Whether it’s his inability to make tight-window throws, a lack of accuracy, or poor decision-making under pressure, these weaknesses have been glaring throughout the season. And it’s not just critics or fans pointing...

Giants Head Coach Brian Daboll at the NY Giants NFL team held an organized team activity at their training facility in East Rutherford, NJ on Thursday May 30, 2024. / Tariq Zehawi/NorthJersey.com / USA TODAY In the whirlwind world of the NFL, there’s always a clamor for instant results. But for the New York Giants, it’s high time to pump the brakes on this cycle of constant resets. The idea of resetting every three years simply doesn’t work. The Giants have suffered from an endless revolving door at head coach and general manager for far too long, and the lack of stability has been a key factor in their prolonged mediocrity. Let’s get something straight: you don’t fire GM Joe Schoen because of one controversial decision—moving on from Saquon Barkley. And you certainly don’t ditch Brian Daboll, a Coach of the Year, while the team is still in the midst of a rebuild. This knee-jerk reaction culture does nothing but set franchises back even further. It took the Detroit Lions three long yea...
