Dave Gettleman, retained as general manager, will speak with the media on Tuesday for the first time since early July in training camp. There is a whole lot that has transpired between then and now, most of it bad for the Giants. Here are questions he needs to be asked and should be prepared to answer:
Q: Why do you deserve to stay after Pat Shurmur was fired?
Gettleman arrived late in the 2017 season, and his first major move was hiring Shurmur as the head coach. Gettleman has to address why it went wrong and if he believes he got it wrong.
Q: Do you feel you gave Shurmur a complete enough roster to win more than four games?
There were glaring deficiencies at nearly every position, especially on defense, proven by the Giants not getting any players selected for the Pro Bowl.
Q: How do you evaluate Daniel Jones’ rookie year as a starting quarterback?
Gettleman stuck his neck out and attracted massive criticism for taking Jones with the No. 6 pick in the draft, a move that now looks prescient.
Q: Are you alarmed by Jones’ turnovers and can he fix these issues?
Jones lost 11 fumbles and threw 12 interceptions in his rookie year.
Q: What the heck happened with Eli Manning and was he worth $23 million in cap space to start two games?
Gettleman insisted Manning had plenty left in the tank and yet he was benched after only two games.
