The Giants officially announced former Bills assistant general manager Joe Schoen as the team's new general manager, the latest football mind tasked with pulling the franchise out of one of its darkest eras.

Schoen has helped lead Buffalo to consistent contention in the AFC East, and he will now look to do the same with New York, which is receiving widespread praise for its new hire.

Given the fact that Schoen will be following Dave Gettleman's disastrous second tenure with the Giants, it will be hard to further lower the bar, but the consensus seems to be that those around the league applaud the move from Big Blue.

Here are some of the notable responses on NFL Twitter on Friday:
