Pat Shurmur has borne the brunt of the blame for the Giants’ 2-8 season, a year that has been a major disappointment and one that has seen regression from last year’s 5-11 team. Yes, there is promise being shown by rookie quarterback Daniel Jones, who has done a nice job in responding to the draft-day howls of his selection with credible work as Eli Manning’s successor.
But that’s about all there is to like from a team whose inconsistent performances from week-to-week suggest it is still a long way from becoming a playoff contender, no less a Super Bowl contender.
