Giants are 2-8 at the bye week. Team brass is being questioned. But cleaning house yet again would be shortsighted and an emotional overreaction.

The New York Giants are firmly among the worst teams in football, but that isn't enough for general manager Joe Schoen to feel like he's on the hot seat.

NFL general managers typically have longer shelf lives than head coaches. That certainly has been the case with the Giants. But it is only reasonable to separate those evaluations when there is a clear demarcation between the GM’s and coach’s responsibilities — and when the on-field product is underperforming relative to a front office’s personnel promise.
