That dude is done. He has the deer in the headlights syndrome.

At least he cashed in during the offseason.  That's the reason you don't cave to demands of players at key positions looking for their bag that's not generational.  I'm all about paying guys what they are worth, but overpaying dudes because they think they are worth the figure in their heads is another.

Kyler Murray is another example.  Teams balk for a reason (they have reservations about the player) then cave and almost immediately regret it.

Add Brian Burns to that list in the offseason while we lack a first round pick and saddled with a huge cap number.

I can't believe they gave him that contract. He's never been anything but bad or mediocre. Moving from bad to mediocre convinced them that he'd figured it out.

Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll have probably improved the Giants overall, but the decision to go with Jones with Still a head scratcher.

Don't think for a second the Giants aren't going to be looking very hard at this QB class.  They can get out from under Jones' contract after the 2024 season.  This also give the rookie a year to sit if need be.

Can someone give me a summary of what's going on with Michigan? I don't follow college football but heard something about them sending guys in disguise to opposing team games to steal signs or something?

I haven't followed it super closely, but from what I've seen they sent a staffer named Connor Stallions (apparently his real name) to other games where he managed to get on the sidelines with Google glasses type equipment and steal signs, even from lesser schools like Central Michigan.

Word was that Michigan was ready to offer Jim Harbaugh an extension that would have made him the highest paid coach in college football, but now that's been delayed.

It's insane.

One explanation is he was a rogue employee making like $30k year who took initiative and created this scheme and relayed information to coaches, and the coaches didn’t investigate on how he was getting this info because it was beneficial. Didn’t want to pry if you know what I’m saying. He was doing this at his own discretion and acted alone. 
 

and of course, the guy was not a very good criminal and created a very easily traceable money trail. 
 

if it can be linked to Harbaugh he was behind this oh man

Probably a distant cousin of the guys that deflated the footballs for Brady just to help him out.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
