Watching Super Bowl XLII highlights...

The Giants dissection of the up-to-then perfect Patriots is a wonder to behold. They had the Pats superstar offense so completely figured out that by day's end, they were frustrated, confused and utterly beaten.

The basis for the gameplan the Giants used in that contest was a 125 page scouting report that covered all their strengths, weaknesses, tendencies, etc.

One of the men who helped put that report together is now our General Manager.

Giants beat the Pats with a pass rush, Gettleman talked about needing the "big guys" to win... this is what he meant on the defensive side of the ball.

One of the best QB's of all time was made to look average with a pass rush.

Brady just about always folds when his opponent can get consistent pressure.

It oughtta be well known by now that that's how to beat him, but a fair number of teams are too buffaloed by his reputation to try it. Teams like the Giants and Ravens show why you shouldn't be.

So does Manning and Brees.

No QB can do much facing consistent pressure. You rush your reads, lose composure in the pocket and are often forced to abandon mechanics and footwork.

Gettleman was the head honcho of that report, I think

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
