Yup.  Tepper was so afraid that Rhule would take the Giants job he went to his house where he waited for him to come from vacation from Baylor's bowl game.  He helped him carry in his luggage.  After a few questions they went into full on recruiting.  Rhule grew in up in NY.

It was Marty who went into "recruiting mode" first.

Ironic as hell, I know 😆

Rough day for rookie QBs... Maybe our front office really did know what they were doing passing on this class and trading for Sam?

Davis Mills has looked the best on the field out of all of them.

Lawrence has looked awful, Wilson has looked worse than awful, Mac Jones fully healthy has a weaker arm than a post shoulder injury Cam, and Justin Fields looked 3 steps behind everyone else on the field today.

I am beyond happy the team went with Sam.

As to Fields, he was still a rookie playing his first game so anybody looking to make definitive statements about him based on that needs to pump the brakes a little bit.

Of course nothing definitive, but we can only judge what has happened thus far, and today was bad.

Looking back we were a lot closer to playoff ready than I think most of us realized. Drafting fields would have taken us an extra 1 or 2 years to build. I'm not rooting against him but it does help solidify my opinion that Horn was the correct pick regardless of how Fields performs.

It is ironic that Rhule was a key factor for Marty being gone.  I will forever be grateful to Rhule for that alone.

Tepper's and Marty's actions indicate this was their guy before the interview though.  They were prepared to make an offer immediately, they traveled to his house to jump the schedule, they carried in his luggage.  You don't do that if you're slightly interested.  A couple questions in just confirmed what they already knew.  Rhule was the guy.

If he'd known...

Well, best for us that he didn't.

I know your thoughts on Hurney, but he did play a big hand in making an under funded small market franchise relevant. No excuses but he was about as competent as his skill set allowed, Tep even acknowledged  that..

The issue was always Jerry being tight and controlling.  And that included the GM position.

Some  people looked to him as a Cam-esqe QB... a mobile, dynamic QB.  Cam had a better first game.  Fields will just never come close to Cam.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
