If true, they likely didn’t want to get in a bidding war. But it is kinda a turn off to be like, “Hey, this place is about to swoop me up, what you gonna offer?” Maybe they couldn’t compete with Tepper, maybe they didn’t want the sloppy seconds. Only time will tell who made the right hire, if there was a right hire made....

I think it’s all just Giants looking to save face. Their owners interview after the season and the pressure they all have up there was obvious. Also the narrative they and the media built around Rhule dreaming of being the Giants coach after his one year of being the O line coach tried to make them sound inevitable. I wouldn’t trust much coming out of NY.

That scares me a little.

Sounds like Tepper is putting a huge amount of money into an unproven commodity.

Sure hope it works.

Tepper will officially be the next Dan Synder if this flops. This feels a lot like the Steve Spurrier hiring.

I'm not worried about Tepper's wallet.

I'm worried about whether this will be a good investment.

It comes out of his wallet, not the salary cap.  Tepper made billions on the stock market.  The only way you do that is by dumping losers.  If this doesn't' work out, he eats 40 million of his worth and hires another coach.  He isn't going to keep him on for 7 years if it isn't working because he is afraid to cut bait.  His current job does precisely that, cut bait when it isn't working and move on.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
