Yeah we'll see if Daboll and Schoen maybe look at a team like the Bill's and go that route or try to keep overarching with mediocre talent at critical positions.
McDermott got a 9-7 Bills team to the playoffs his first year with Tyrod Taylor as his QB. But they fell back the next year and eventually built a more talented team that is a real competitor. There's a handful of guys on defence still on the roster today, but the offence and skill positions are drastically different. Giants should follow that blue print. Maybe you franchise Jones for a year since it will be tough to find an immediate upgrade. But Jones isn't leading a real contender, and the proven strategy is to avoid big second contracts for running backs.
