We have to ask ourselves should Schoen be allowed a chance with his own choice at QB? This was when he set eyes on Josh Allen:
Schoen said.
As the Bills reached the playoffs in ’17, Schoen made a trip to Logan, Utah, to watch quarterback Allen and Wyoming against Utah State. Allen was 18-for-26 passing for 208 yards (one touchdown passing and one rushing) in rallying the Cowboys from a seven-point deficit to win, 28-23. The Bills would draft Allen.
What does Schoen remember?
“Oh, man – superior talent, his size and his athleticism,” Schoen said. “They won that game because of Josh and his competitiveness – I’ll never forget it. He single-handedly willed his team. … We just knew he would fit so well in Buffalo.”
Think any Duke games peaked his interest like that when Danny was there? Hell no..... Before we can Schoen we should give him a chance with a real QB.
While this season is heading in the direction of unmitigated disaster.........I don't think the hammer will fall on Schoen/Daboll quickly. FWIW, I think the type of contract they signed DJ to in retrospect was smart in that it acknowledged DJ's accomplishments for that season and also giving the Giants the flexibility to cut bait in year 2 and not be in Cap Hell. I give Schoen credit for that.
I do think not bringing DJ back would have been looked at in a negative light by the Ownership group and deep down the majority of the fan base would have not liked it either. I think it would have been a risky prospect......unless behind closed doors that was already part of the plan when Schoen came on campus and pre-discussed it with Ownership.
I would be surprised if Mara were impatient with SChoen. I mean, for craps sake Gettleman put together 4 years of trash. Schoen is already ahead of him at this juncture.
In my Captain Obvious moment, from a personnel standpoint, somehow we have to solve the OL crapshow. That's the biggest priority we have as an organization. I'm ok with the drafting a fringe QB prospect and investing the draft capital AND Free Agency in some legitimate people on our OL.
