Lol sure.  I'm just staring facts.

Best of luck to Gettleman and the Giants.  I hope they enjoy drafting a hogmahlie at WR with that #17.

You are overly emotional. Gettleman made some great moves and some bad ones.

obj is a cancer. I would not be surprised if that browns team is destroyed by him.  Also, what nobody is talking about. The dude never shows up when it matters most.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but all I'm saying is, his philosophy is to cut his nose off to spite his face.  Yeah we got to a Superbowl, but not properly addressing the tackles or replacing Smitty's production cost us the chance to win it.  And that was his doing...  except with Smitty he didn't try to get any value and just outright released him.

Same thing with Norman.  He got his feelings hurt in negotiations and had to show him who the boss was and released him.  Very short sighted...  and we still have problems at corner today.

And again, you're discounting that the biggest contributors to "his" winning teams were Hurney's guys lol.

But, we've all debated this over the years ad nauseam...  I guess for the Giants benefit, at least he's learned to trade guys for value instead of outright releasing them.

My biggest problem with Gettelmen was what he did after a good season.. He never wanted to build off of momentum.. We have a good season and he spend the next offseason jettisoning and trying to rebuild whole positions groups.. Which killed any momentum from the season before... We spent half the next season with no chemistry at that position.

Yall  really think Gettlemen screwed up?  I do not. He fixed a mistake.  OBJ is a pain in the ass.  Giants are in rebuild mode, and they get J. Peppers, a  first rounder, a third  rounder, and out of a bad contract, in my opinion.  OBJ is a highlight reel, but he is simply good, not great. 1000 yards on 77 receptions.  That is 64 yards per game and an average of 1 TD every 2.66 games. He averaged less than 5 catches per game...That is not (to me) worth $1.125 million per game--that costs the fans $230K per catch. 

Just my opinion.  

Yes, NY may run Gettlemen out of town...he gave OBJ a ridiculous contract and then trades him about a dozen games later?

You don't re-sign the guy to a mega deal in the first place. Yes they got pretty good compensation but they are eating a 16 million dollar cap hit now and need to replace his production.

Also if you are in rebuild mode you should be trying to trade Eli for what ever you can get for him because he isn't the future.

We all know DG doesn't give a fug about Legendary veteran players.

It becomes less ridiculous when comparing it to the Antonio Brown situation. Getty probably saw him as a ticking time bomb who could force his hand into trading him and getting essentially nothing in return like Brown did to the Steelers. Add in the future cap space cleared up and it's not a terrible return, especially since OBJ has also been pretty injured the last few years and that trend may continue. Still kind of ridiculous that Getty signed him to that huge contract and then turned around and traded him a year later.

Let's say they love Murray.  Now they can trade up and get him.  So they get their QB, have a great RB, and they drop $18m from the cap and maybe  Eli's salary ($23m).  That gives the Giants their QB of the future and $41m in cap space (theoretically).  They could not only sign a WR, they can sign a tackle, a safety, a linebacker.  Then they can draft (after Murray) a DE and CB and OL.

Bad trade?  Get the best QB in the draft and fill  4 other needs?

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
