The Giants are ranked below us on this list and won 3 games last year.

From the actual source.

They are ranked behind us because of the QB, Coaching and FO rankings. They list our roster as worse. 

Which, if you give me a composite score on the same scale, I probably would have them below us, as well. Their coach and probably FO will be gone before ours will. Their QB situation is potentially worse(a lot hinges on Dart).

I will say if Ownership was taken into account, we might be squarely in last. Tepper is unquestionably 32nd.

At this point they actually have to prove they are not a bottom 5 team before anyone not selling clicks or tuning in to watch for fun to believe. 

Have they improved? Sure. Are they good? It does not appear that way at this point. Lots of best case scenarios would have to happen for that to be true and given our history I think I have better odds on a $2 loto ticket winning a jackpot.  

I have for too long lacked giving good posting beers, fire, etc. 

Good post, its beyond prove it time and until then 30s is where they belong.

I would take the giants roster over Panthers. Lawrence, 3 OLB/DEs, Thomas, and nabers. Lawrence is better than dbrown and Thomas is better than icky. Panthers don't have one edge that would start over those 3 not matter how people feel about burns. Id believe....I think I would take nabers over the whole WR group....Id need to think about, but I feel it is right or 50/50.....

Now after the top 10, Panthers may have claim. Im just not that big of a NFL fan like past time to make a good case. I'd just take giants on their top talent. 

 

I will say this, if BY carries this team to the playoffs, he alone would flip this.

Hard to argue that Tepper is worse than the guy who is literally the GM of the team he owns lol.  I'll give him benefit of the doubt for 31 at least.

Actually, there is no argument that Jerry isn't better. The Cowboys have only had 10 seasons under .500 in his 35 years of ownership. He has literally had as many .500 or better winning seasons as an owner as the Panthers do years of existence as a franchise.

Tepper literally took the reigns of a team that was in the midst of it's historical highpoint(2015-2017) and hasn't sniffed .500 since.

For all Jerry's faults, he builds winning teams. David Tepper consistently has built dumpster fire teams.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
