Ex-Buccaneers DT Gerald McCoy takes swipe at Giants’ Joe Schoen

Who is going to start at quarterback for the New York Giants in 2025?

It’s a fair question and a rather mundane one at that, but it’s also one many struggle to answer. That’s why when NJ Advance Media asked 17 experts, they got roughly 10 different answers.

While most stayed on point, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy veered a bit off-topic. He took the opportunity to throw shade at Giants general manager Joe Schoen instead.

“Shoot, I don’t know, you’ve got to ask the Giants that. Though I don’t know if their GM makes the best decisions,” McCoy said.

It’s a warranted criticism but one that has become a bit tired. Schoen has clearly struggled when making some personnel decisions, especially at the quarterback decision, but that’s not what McCoy was referencing.

Like many others, including future Hall of Famer Tom Brady, McCoy was knocking Schoen over his decision to let running back Saquon Barkley walk via free agency (and maybe a little bit over the Daniel Jones contract).

These criticisms show no sign of slowing down and will likely persist until the Giants finally turn a corner and find success or Schoen is fired alongside head coach Brian Daboll.

What comes first is the next question that should be asked.
