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.

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
