Wasn't last season the first time the Giants had even made the post season in like half a decade? Let free agency actually begin before you completely freak out.

We can't sniff the Giants jock. They are relevant we are absolutely not

It starts at the top.

hes been around for all of our collective mediocrity. He's content with mediocre....pays the bills.

no back to back winning seasons #howbowdah

If you want to question his hiring decisions, that's legit. But he is not cheap when it comes to player acquisition. We spend just as much as everyone else.

I agree that the organization leans toward low risk moves and perhaps overvalue existing players. And JR can be tight fisted when it comes to hiring front office personnel. But they spend on players.

We're literally one season removed from being 15-1... Last year sucked no doubt but I have to believe we won't get decimated by injuries again and will very much so be "relevant".

Levelheaded grown ups can also be upset about FA. Most, however, wait until the players can actually sign contracts and see how the chips fall first.  I know that's beyond your comprehension, buddy. So grab that pitchfork and lead these children....

 

Did the OP not say this was a placeholder thread?  It makes it pretty clear that FA hasn't "officially" begun, but negotiations have...  as have verbal agreements.  And show me the last time a player made a verbal agreement and backed out?  How often does that happen?  Dumervil a few years back?  Ok...  that's one.

Second, i don't expect guys who have come to agreements thus far to back out of them to join a 6-10 team with a GM whose reputation precedes him.

Like I said, the "wait and see" guys have been going at it with the "what are we doing?" crowd for going on 22 years now.  History fleshes out who has been right more often than not.  It's like we all keep watching the same movie repeatedly and the "wait and see" guys are always convinced a new ending has been edited in lol.

If you go back and look at the seasons we made big runs and our most success, i'm pretty sure you'd see I was very "levelheaded" and somewhat excited going into the season as a result of what we did in the offseason.  The years we do nothing, the more people complain, and for good reason.

So yes, FA isn't over, but options are drying up quickly and the future looks a lot like that same old movie with each option we lose.  Again, the thread is somewhat in jest, and yet, you come out with guns blazing ready to attack anything seen as a slight at our personnel moves, or in this case, a lack thereof.  Overreact much?

Don't worry too much about the levelheads. Levelheads are the ones with bad sex lives that try to stay positive. The believe what they want to only. 

Kind of like sovereign citizens.
