REPORT: Andrew Norwell to Giants a "done deal"

So we didn't even choose between Star or Norwell. Just decided "no" on both.

This is what got Hurney in trouble last time.  You have to be able to let players walk if the price doesn't fit.   Maybe he has learned from past mistakes.

We're saving up to pay big money to a kicker that loses us playoff games.

Really enjoyed Norwell's time here. Wish Gettleman would've gotten him locked up long-term before he blew up. Oh well. We can't afford two top money tier guards. Turner is already a top 5 paid OG in terms of average dollars per year. Norwell will almost certainly be #1 when he signs his new deal. Can't afford that type of expenditure at the OG position. Especially with Williams' contract looming at OT.

Ton of time for that to change... We were never going to re-sign him but I still wouldn't bet on DG winning the bidding war for him. Love Norwell and wish we could keep him and that we extended him last offseason. But whatever, that's the business of the NFL.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
