Joe Schoen Is Starting To Sound Like A Man Desperate To Save His Job By Trading For Matthew Stafford (He Should)
It's no secret that Joe Schoen (and Brian Daboll) are entering this season on the hot seat. John Mara (an idiot) came out and said that when he decided to bring them back for another season. Made it known they need to win games this year to keep their jobs. At the same time, it's no secret that Matthew Stafford is potentially available and Malik Nabers is begging for him:
I'll go ahead and say it, Matthew Stafford is awesome. I know he's old. I know he has a big value for his contract, but he was also a play or two away from being in the NFC title game again last season. You're telling me he can't do that with the Giants at some point? Yeah, we have a million other problems, but you need a quarterback. Plus, Schoen and Daboll need to win. That's why this is also out there:
What's it matter at this point? A rookie quarterback likely means we're not winning a bunch of games. We're not getting Jayden Daniels. Get the vet, start finding the quarterback in the future. There's no such thing as a window being open. Football has too much weird shit happens, one injury can ruin a season. Look at Joe Burrow and the Bengals. Dude had the best year of his career and they couldn't make the playoffs. Take a shot, whenever you can.
This is also the problem when you tell guys they need to win this year or they are fired. Of course they don't care about the future. Who would? You care about your own ass and keeping the job. Whatever, just don't suck. That's all I want. I want to care again. Stafford makes me care again for a year at least.
