This is just mind blowing to me.

I would believe you if you told me Fitterer was intentionally sabotaging the team.

It is completely unacceptable, unbelievable, and unforgivable.

I would have believed you more if Fitt was blowing Tepper and a soon as he started using teeth, he got fired. Dark times. Not out of the Tepper jungle yet. 
 

@Stumpy Stumpleton Esq the IV. Can you make a. PG-13 collage of everything I just said?

I got chastised for this on here but should have taken those two 1st and a third. Or just kept him CMC and Moore. Gross that hurts to think we had those good players 

And what we got back for them. How many years of poo QBing do you think DJ bought us? I should say games  because it wasn’t much

Let's not and say we did.

He should have been traded for the 2 first rounders or extended immediately after they declined the trade 

These idiots we’re trading proven talent away for draft picks they eventually ended up whiffing on, should be the blueprint on how not to run a football front office 

I wanted to keep burns(barring the trade for two first rounders) we had a mob of people wanting to get rid of him because missed sacks and lack of double digit sack seasons when he was our only reliable edge rusher, whole situation was frustrating 

[UnluckyforSome]

Can we move to the AFC East and play the Jets twice a year?

[ProcessBlue2]

Should have traded him to the Rams. I really don’t miss him. Was super overrated, would get a sack in the first quarter and disappear the rest of the game until he missed a key tackle in the 2nd half. 
 

I wonder how much of his success this year is  due to teams having to account for Abdul Carter, Kayvon Thibideaux, and Dexter Lawrence as well.

Trading Burns for what was offered was the correct move. Two 1sts and a 2nd was a haul for a non QB. Granted Fittershits isn't who you want doing the drafting. We lost all leverage when we didn't trade him. Burns was never a game wrecker or ever took over a game like a Watts, Bosa or Parsons. It was poorly played by the FO all around.

He isn’t but looking at what those guys are getting paid, paying him what he’s making now wouldn’t have been terrible, they should have and still should be looking at pairing some guys with brown to form a pretty dominant d line

Let's not forget he is on an absolutely STACKED d line. Good for Burns, but you can't say he would be putting up these numbers here. 

A line that he leads in double team and triple team rate by a wide margin and has since he became a Giant. Last year he had a double team rate over 40%.

Very little, he's led the Giants in double team and triple team rate since he was traded to them. Last year he was over 40% on double team rate.

I am gonna say good for him. That is kind of impressive.

If you can't tell that Morgan is investing assets to try and make a dominant pass rush I don't know what to tell you. Tried to sign the dude from Philly, brought in 4ish free agents, double dipped in the draft. The plan may not pan out but it is clear the plan is to build from the line out on both sides of the ball

Bingo. Burns is very good, no question, but he is a complimentary piece.

That may be, but he has been the best "complimentary" piece. Hell, there is an argument that the others are the complimentary pieces.

I still ain't mad. What's done is done, but I'll always look at those two firsts as the trade that got away. We lost a ton of value, from not take ng the Rams' offer, and now we seemingly lost a bit more due to his current play.

It's been a acknowledged, now let's move on because that's all that we can do.
