Still don’t get why they took Thibedoux at 5 instead of Ickey. Could have had both. Was very little to no chance CAR would take him. 

Agreed.  I thought the exact same thing.  I figured we would be stuck with Neal.  The Giants new GM is an ex-Panthers guy.  I'm not sure if there was a phone call made where some deceptive talk about drafting Thibedoux occurred that spooked them.  Likely they just needed the pass rusher more than OT and didn't want to take any chances of missing out on him while they were already on the clock, as minimal of a risk as it was at any rate had they waited two picks later.

It was reported there was a conversation between Joe Schoen and Dan Morgan before the picks were made.

Make of that what you will...

Per Joe Person, he only "signed off" on acquiring Darnold (Mayfield too).

Fitterer believes in drafting quarterbacks.

So it wasn't his idea, but he approved.  How is that any better? 😂

I'd feel a lot better about him if he didn't approve and was just over rhuled.

Traded for Sam like a bafoon and was going hard for Watson. Has yes man written all over him. He has to prove a hell of a lot more positives before I can belive in him in any kind of positive way.

Go back and read Person's story from The Athletic.

Nah, they would rather argue their nonsensical point, ham it up, than to look at the obvious revelations made in the in depth article that would completely shut their mouths. Some people just choose ignorance. That is like someone on the Facebook page after a 2015 video said that Cam was good until he got into drinking and cocaine. 🤪

I feel like the Watson stupidity was all Tepper.  I could be wrong, but it would definitely have to be signed off on by him.  They went all in on him and failed (luckily).

Did they? I'm super impressed how fast his pass pro developed for sure. I think he didn't get enough reps at it in college so it was more of an unknown than a con. 

I dunno how many times the b-word was thrown out, but there were definitely a lot of people drooling over Charles Cross in Week 1 and suggesting we took the wrong tackle.  I am pretty sure you were among them lol.

Obvious revelation?  You mean where it implies that Rhule wasn't 100% at fault, because the other people in the room approved the moves?

Quote

And though Rhule directed the annual QB chase, he had others signing off on the pursuit — from former offensive coordinator Joe Brady (who lobbied for Bridgewater) to general manager Scott Fitterer (who signed off on the trades for Darnold and Mayfield) to owner David Tepper, who stroked the checks.

Who's making nonsensical points again?

It is convenient that only the bad decisions were Rhules. Reminds me of when Hurney was still here and every good decision was Rhule and the bad ones were Hurney. Classic huddle fall guy thing going on.

Oh, so you were in the room then? Amazing how you guys can caveat everything decision so that Fitterer does nothing wrong but gets 100% credit when’s move pays off, which unfortunately appears very, very rare.

Are you friends with Scott? The verve with which you defend him is amazing. Did Rhule hurt you so bad?

So, should we blame Fitterer for the 2021 OL fiasco as well? Elflein and Erving weren’t Temple/Baylor. Skipping over Humphrey and Trey Smith for SEC guys and a LS weren’t Temple/Baylor driven. Ian Thomas and Donte weren’t Rhule guys. Neither was Sam or Teddy or Corral or Baker. Wow, Fitterer fuged up way more than you’ve let on since Rhule only had final say and didn’t scout any of those guys.

Or maybe I can just read Joe Person and Charles Robinson's reports or for that matter Matt Rhule's own words.

I realize you don't think those things carry as much weight as your opinion but I feel kinda differently.

  It’s the Huddle Two-Step that happens every time someone gets fired/leaves. It was all Gettlemans fault. It was all Riveras fault. It was all Hurneys fault(again). It’s all Rhule’s fault. Fitterer was only in charge of everything good that has happened since he was hired to bob his head. When he goes…rinse and repeat.

      Thin sliced roast beef, provolone, and roasted bell peppers on a toasted sub roll.  At least one thing is going right today. I don't trust anyone who's never put Bugles on their fingertips to make witch fingers.

      But yeh,  Bryce is the only problem on this sorry excuse of a team. You could put Tom Brady on this team and we would still suck . Worst part is Tepper and his various band of clowns have been trying to build a competitive team for 7 freaking years and are no closer now than when it all started.

      Bryce Young Is a Symptom, Not the Disease

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Regardless of the trade and where he was picked, Bryce actively created deception. He wore a hoodie to the combine and was 15 lbs heavier because he packed on water weight because he didnt weigh near 200 lbs. He didn't participate in drills in a wide open 4 way, really 3, QB bid. Then there was all this hype over the S2 test that he had been practicing that we've never heard about in the draft process since. Does anyone think it was an accident Stroud's score on the S2 was released? Stroud said forget the score, watch his tape. Wonder why. There was a whole bunch of shady poo going on surrounding Bryce pre draft, and I for one, find it all a little too convenient.  Just my opinion, but he was a used car salesman that used some armor all and a wash n wax and maybe a set of white walls then schmoozed his way at dinner with Dave and Nicole and sold them that he was a super savant.  There was a whole lot of BS swirling around the BY hype train and he was a full fledged participant. Frank didn't want Bryce, he wanted Stroud. A new head coach does not pick a QB he has to go design a brand new offense around unless that guy is a generationaltalent, which Bryce was most definitely not. He picks the guy that best fits what he does and that was Stroud. This was Dave and Nicole's pick and they fuged this team like they've done over and over again since they've been here. They fell for use car salesman Rhule, then used car salesman Bryce and company. And the fans got stuck with the 4 years of payments on a car less reliable than Al Bundy's Dodge.
