00:00I still can't wrap my head around not firing Joe Shane like the general manager this part of the

00:07year has nothing to do trade deadline is over you haven't started with the bowl games you know he's

00:12not a but per se he's not the guy going to college campuses and taking notes on players you've got a

00:19whole staff to do that you don't so I don't know what Joe Shane is doing yeah maybe mock drafting

00:24with his buddies I really don't know but here's something he did that to me furthers my point

00:30yesterday that you fired the wrong guy and if you're going to fire table and fine with it well

00:35you got to fire Joe Shane also they have announced that Russell Wilson is done with the New York

00:41Giants barring multiple injuries to the other two quarterbacks on the team Jameis Winston

00:47assuming Jackson Dart does not clear concussion protocol is your starting quarterback this week

00:53for the New York Giants if Jackson Dart clears concussion protocol Jameis Winston not Russell

01:00Wilson is your backup quarterback so effectively Russell Wilson is done playing football this year

01:06again barring multiple injuries to both quarterbacks ahead of him yeah and the reason I bring that up is

01:12because there's not a giant fan alive that was supportive of the contract that they gave Russell

01:20Wilson after what he did in Pittsburgh last year and while it got off to a good start when it comes

01:25to the record he did not put up good stats and it's very clear that Russell Wilson is no longer a good

01:32quarterback in the NFL he had a great career we could debate one day is it a hall of fame career or not

01:38I'd lean to yes I have no prime of you lean to no not a hill I'm willing to die on but the one thing we can

01:45all agree on whether you like Russell Wilson or don't Russell Wilson's done he's done playing football

01:50which is why Jameis Winston who hasn't taken a snap this year has now been elevated over him

01:56well why would you maintain a relationship with the general manager that chose to give Russell Wilson

02:06the king's ransom that he got to be the starting quarterback of the New York Giants when no other

02:13team in football was making him an offer anywhere close or at all and to me I'm like wait a minute

02:20Joe Shane's the guy that did that Joe Shane's the guy that said I don't want to draft Jackson Dart

02:27and did it and was very clear in that video uh that he's putting that responsibility on Brian Dable

02:34and Dable got that one right he gets credit for that but the guy that thought that Jackson Dart

02:41shouldn't be drafted is the same guy that thought Russell Wilson was going to lead the New York

02:49Giants with one wide receiver in Malik neighbors and really nobody else had to say is the same guy

02:57that let's say Quan Barkley go to Philly and got nothing nothing in return why is that guy still employed

03:05and I speak for Giants fans on this one Joe Shane has to go you can't sell me as a diehard New York

03:14Giants fan that Joe Shane has done something that warrants him keeping his job and then the second

03:21problem with that is if he does come back and I guess there's some question now that they're going to

03:26revisit it after the regular season I don't think he's in January yeah because of the situation as you've

03:31mentioned many times with the Mara family yes they're taking their time there he's basically

03:36the steward of the organization and he's got nothing to do now anyway right for now until they

03:41can they're going to revisit it after the last game the first week uh in January but here's the other

03:45problem with it one thing we would all agree on depending on regardless of what your feelings

03:50are on this the one thing we all agree on is very simple if Joe Shane comes back it's on a one-year deal

03:57right yeah they're not extending him no he's a lame duck general manager well you can't have a lame

04:03duck general manager making the decisions that affect your distant future if he's not going to be

04:09a part of that future so by default you have a choice now you either extend him which would drive

04:16Giants fans bonkers and I'm here for that I'm here for that smoke I don't mind that or you fire him

04:24you
