Former NFL executive would ‘put my stamp’ on Giants GM Joe Schoen, coach Brian Daboll

Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll have moved on from Daniel Jones. Whether they are the GM and head coach tandem that gets to pick the next New York Giants quarterback remains to be seen. One long-time NFL executive has come out strongly in favor of just that, telling the ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast he would “put my stamp” on the Schoen-Daboll duo.

“I think they’re good football people and I would tell Giants fans this — I have been around a lot of GMS, a lot of scouts a lot of people. I would trust Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll to pick my next quarterback for the New York Football Giants and I wouldn’t think twice,” said T.J. McCreight, who spent five years in player personnel for the Philadelphia Eagles, five as director of college scouting for the Indianapolis Colts, and three as director of pro personnel for the Arizona Cardinals. “So I hope that ownership gives them a chance and does have patience and allows them to see it through, allows them to trust the process, the draft process, and pick the right players and particular the right quarterback.

“So, yeah, I would definitely put my stamp on them and I hope the Mara family gives them the time to do so.”

McCreight was also one of the respondents to a recent Big Blue View survey regarding Schoen’s overall job performance.
