Joe Schoen defends Daniel Jones with surprising Patrick Mahomes reference on ‘Hard Knocks’
NY Post
Not even Patrick Mahomes could have saved the 2023 Giants.
That’s the message Giants general manager Joe Schoen preached during Tuesday’s premiere episode of HBO’s “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants” while defending embattled quarterback Daniel Jones.
“The reality is, facts — three serious injuries in two years, we need to protect ourselves,” Schoen said, referencing the need to have backup plans. “He didn’t have much of a chance this year, that’s legit.
“All season, the four guys, your core guys that are going to play together, played less than 60 snaps together. Miami, we got f–king three practice squad guys playing for us. Nobody can f–king — you could have Pat Mahomes, he can’t f–king win behind that.
“I’m not giving up on him. He’s under contract for three more years. Just protecting ourselves because the best predictor of the future is the past.”
