If he gets hurt, "he should never have played in the preseason!"

I dont think thats right. I would trade 3 1st round picks for Mahomes. Throw in a 4th if we had to.. and KC would still not make that deal and that would be the right choice.

Yeah, but at the time there was a feeling like he was an ascending player. Fitt and Rhule also kept saying we were 'one piece away'... And to be fair.. at the time we had a decent team.. If Darnold would have played to his 'potential' then it would have been a good move and we would have been instantly competitive. But he didn't and we threw everything into that gamble.

I think people have short memories. This is why we still have a lot of people on this bord thinking we got rid of Cam for no reason... without remembering that he was coming off an injury and wanted a new contract. Football moves are not made in isolation of contracts. That what happened to Cam and that's what happened with Burns. The moment we rejected the trade we were locked into a a sky high contract that EVERYONE here would agree Burn's didn't merit. So it was either trade him or pay him. And the giants traded us draft picks for the RIGHT TO GIVE HIM A NEW CONTRACT. 2 years ago with the Rams offer, there were years left on his contract making him more valuable. So its not apples to apples looking at the draft picks offered by the Rams vs the draft picks we got from the Giants.

If I were him, I would also sit out till mid season and just onto a contending team. Why not..

I'll put myself in that boat. I think he will bounce back in a big way this year. Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Listening to JC Horn's press conference he had a lot of praise for X. Said that he is tough to cover because of how big and strong he is. Said you can 'feel' his strength when he presses on you. Thats pretty big praise from a CB like Horn. I like it!!

Well between that and not having any primetime games the players have a lot to prove.

Dude is 24 years old... If he could bounce back to 1st round draft pick status.... we immediately have a better defense than last year.

Looks like the Sims version of Luke.

Fun interview.

We only have 2 kids but picked up the VW Atlas for the 3rd row when hauling their friends around. If I had 3+ kids I would probably go minivan

You are bang on.. people need to understand that Fitt is also doing what is best for him.

Yeah the thing about DJ and his production was that he played in a scheme that either rushed 6 or rushed 3. Almost nothing in between. So he's either 1 on 1 or a free rusher OR he's not rushing at all. That said, he cost very little compared to Burns with basically the same output.

Not a dark horse in the fact that he was a 1st round pick, but I think Ickey will make a major bounce back this year with our ground and pound mentality.

You might not be wrong... Burn's is a great player and its going to hurt a bit cause he's joining a better d-line so he will put up sacks and playing for the Giants mean we will ALL see the highlights. But Burns was also only a speed guy that really didn't have top 3 traits. We have a bunch of guys here now.. I think collectively we might be better due to more and diverse rushers... maybe... I'm hoping your right.

Obviously not by copilot...

this 100%

you know... every once in a while Im like 'this guys not a troll, he has some decent points' ... then poo like this comes up and Im reminded what you are.

Dude.. that sounds so sad.

Beason I dont think was under appreciated. He was #1 / #2 LB in the league for a few short years. He was a heck of a player. So fun to watch. Crazy the MLBs we had on our team Morgan-Beason-Luke.. we got spoiled.

Coleman was a monster back there. Man what a fun team..

As the title suggests, who is a player you feel had a big impact on the team but was under appreciated? My nomination would be Mario Addison. - Was always the 3rd or 4th best player on the d-line (played with Hard, Peppers, Allen, Star, Short, Johnson) - Played with motor, would generate pressure and get clean up sacks. - Ultra reliable - Played both DE and transitioned to OLB when Rivera changed to a 3-4 in 2019 Never a stay but a true testament of a core player you need on the team. Other considerations: - AJ Klein - Dan Connor

With Horn I would gladly over pay... via the TAG. I would take his 5th year option and TAG and TAG again. Dude is a monster but I dont want to pay for a monster with as few starts as he has.
