Philadelphia Eagles fans should love Jason Garrett remaining in NFC East

Just when Philadelphia Eagles fans thought they were done with Jason Garrett, the New York Giants went ahead and brought him in as their new offensive coordinator.

While the Philadelphia Eagles continue their search for a new offensive coordinator, one of the team’s biggest rivals recently made a very familiar face their new offensive coordinator.

That’s right, Jason Garrett will be staying in the NFC East as the newest member of the New York Giant’s coaching staff, which is great news for Eagles fans.

Not only will the Eagles get to face an offense run by Garrett at least two times a season for the foreseeable future, but Garrett will be tasked with developing the Giants young franchise quarterback in Daniel Jones.

During his time with the Dallas Cowboys, Garrett was never able to maximize Dak Prescott‘s talent, as this played into part of the team’s decision this offseason to move on from their former head coach.

Even if it always seemed like running back Ezekiel Elliot was the engine that made Garrett’s offense go, the argument can be made that Garrett should have been able to get Prescott to reach new levels on offense.

It wasn’t until this past season when Dallas brought in a new offensive coordinator in Kellen Moore that we saw Prescott finally take a major leap forward in his development.

Prescott easily put together his best season as a pro with Moore calling the plays for him after posting career highs in passing yards, passing touchdowns, completions and yards per completion in 2019.

But unfortunately, despite all the talent the Cowboys have on the offensive side of the football, Garrett failed to ever take them to the next level as a legitimate Super Bowl contender in the NFC.

Now, take a look at the Giants’ offense, and it’s easy to have concerns over Garrett dealing with similar issues in New York.

Outside of Saquon Barkley, do the Giants really have any consistent playmakers on offense? Evan Engram has been a reliable tight end at times with some upside, and wideout Darius Slayton saw his moments during his rookie campaign, but it’s hard to project just how good these pieces actually are.

While Garrett is an experienced coach, his offensive system has never proven it can take average players and turn them into great ones, which is basically what the Giants are asking him to do given their lack of offensive fire power.

If the Giants truly wanted to put their best foot forward with this young offense, they should not have hired Garrett to be their new offensive coordinator, but at least this should work in the favor of the Eagles heading into the 2020 season.
