Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll's decision to pass on first-round quarterbacks in the draft is now under scrutiny as Michael Penix Jr. prepares for his first NFL start with the Atlanta Falcons against the struggling New York Giants. The Giants, sitting at 2-12, face the possibility of a 10th consecutive loss, further complicating Schoen and Daboll's future.
Despite their choice of wide receiver Malik Nabers at No. 6 overall, the Giants' offense has struggled, averaging just 14.9 points per game. Meanwhile, the Falcons, despite their own issues, have opened as favorites for the matchup.
