Guess he got Carrd when he threw 2 picks to Jesse Bates last year.

If you are capable of getting Carr'ed, you aren't going to make it long in the league anyway.  Hits and pressure are just part of it.  Some years your OL is going to get banged up, you are going to play through injuries etc.  It's a big boy league and it's a tough position to play.

you dont forget 62 sacks in an offseason

Giants gave up 85 sacks last year. Eighty Five.

Still finished with 6 wins.

Howell got sacked as many times as BY and still moved the ball albeit with very iffy decision making at times.

At some point through it all you have to show something anything to justify why you were taken first overall. We just never saw it. The Packers game was a mirage as far as I'm concerned. Since that game we have been getting absolutely whalloped on the scoreboard with Bryce Young at QB.

Don't worry though. We'll always have that "one great preseason drive against the Bills backups" banner.

This was a complicated case; lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have yous

Was it really though? The most physically limited QB of his draft class is looking like one of the worst QB's in recent memory? Seems like something many people should have seen coming.

It's not even the size at this point. He just sucks plain and simple. Kyler Murray over their dicking teams down making ridiculous throws and scrambles. Bryce just sucks ass.

Watching the way Kyler Murray runs is entertaining in itself.

He's been up and down he's taken a lot of grief about not being a student of the game.

But one thing you can't deny him is the dude is an athlete through and through. He's had to be given his size.

Hell Burrow has been abused, sure he gets injured but when he is healthy he is right back at it.  Cam got hit so many times it shortened his career.  If getting sacked breaks you then maybe you shouldn't get paid millions of dollars to be a QB.

    • I think evaluating QBs making the transition to the NFL is just a lot harder and more nuanced than draftniks make it out to be. That and the rookie wage scale means that if you don't have a franchise QB on the roster and you think this guy might be one you're almost forced to draft him now that you're protected from giving that guy a future HOFer type contract before he ever plays an NFL down. The expectation for mist of these guys to play right away is also not helping IMO.
    • Plenty of good teams made it to Super Bowls and some even won with meh QBs. Takes solid defense, good offensive planning and play calling and a helluva lot of magic. And I think the great QB elevating a team thing is overplayed too much. History just doesn't bear it out. Sure, it can lift a moderately good team like Mahomes did with the Chiefs, or Hurts did with the Eagles. And one can argue about Brady and the Pats (or even Bucs) but if you look at those Patriot and Buccaneer teams... there was something very solid in place already.  Heck, the whole idea that a single player can make or break an NFL team is vastly overplayed. The Cowboys have had a roster full of "star" players for decades now and have gotten bupkus in return. The Raiders have chased everything they could and have floundered mightily. The Giants have had star after star and nothing.  It's just hard to sell posters of a team. Give the marketing people a star though...
    • Seems you found the "exception" to the OP. Eli wasn't actually drafted by the Giants. But that's the only team he ever played for since he refused to go to San Diego.
