Just to point this out to a few on here. After Dave left that team,it started a tailspin. I believe that his input with personal decisions really helped make them what they where.If this keeps up for them, the head coach might not make it through the season. We are lucky to have ths guy as the GM. His personal evaluation skills are top notch and he has begun to fix the cap issues. There is no doubt he will have the Panthers playing winning ball for many seasons to come. That would be something this team and the fans have never known before.

 

Didn't their decline begin when Plaxico Burris shot himself in the foot?

True point in this thread, the Giants are awful, but lets face it, the entire NFC East is complete garbage (minus Eagles).  They have taken over the award that used to go to the NFC West.  It's looking like only the division winner will go to the playoffs, somewhere around 9-7.

 

But-- but-- but--the NFL Network said they had to spend a long time breaking down the NFC East last night because there was so much interest in them.

I just New York needs a new identity. Has nothing to do with who the old assistant GM was. As good as they've both been in the past, maybe it's time to move on from Manning and Coughlin. If they suck this year they can land one of Mariota, Winston, Hundley or Petty.

 

Yup Yup

 

Eli has/had the same problems as Newton (unimpressive running game, OL, barely average receivers), but couldn't make up for them.

 

Coughlin, is a good coach when all things are clicking. But like Eli, he pretty much sucks when has to work with mediocrity, and lift the team up.

Giants won in 2012 and Dave came here in early 2013.They played the last hand he left them in 2012 and 2013 began the fall off. Two years of lousy drafting and bad FA decisions started the decline along with a aging player base.Doesn't take long to be in the toilet in this league.

If this is true, you think the Giants will ask him back as GM when they restructure their organization?

 

GM Positions tend to be promotions or retreads, not lateral hires.

 

If Jerry Reese is gone for some reason, the Giants have Marc Ross or Assistant GM Kevin Abrams waiting.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
