Is that really what we're doing right now?

You really don't think Gettleman did his due diligence before each pick? Or the pick doesn't make any sense?

"Why'd we take another DII Guard?" because he was a late rising prospect. Quick on his feet, power blocker, fits our schme (unlike the Alabama guard who was on the board, not powerful enough.) an can work his way into a starting role. You wanted a Guard, you got one. Guards are run of the mill so you can take one from anywhere and they have a chance of being good.

"Why'd we take a backup LB?" Because we needed more depth. Senn shouldn't be more than a special teams ace and Beason and Davis have a probability of getting hurt. This guys is very smart and makes good plays, also very good in coverage. We needed LB depth, we got LB depth.

"A running back in the 6th??? Really?" First off, it's the 6th fuging round siit down. Secondly, we always wanted a speedy HB that could catch out the backfield Barner, third it's very highly likely that either Stewart or Williams won't be on the roster this time next year. The pick I would've made? Probably not, but I understand it.

"But Baccari Rambo/Da'Rick Rogers was on the board!!" And? We've never been ones to draft players on characters concerns too often. Or maybe Gettleman and Rivera didn't like them. Here's what you have to understand: Football is more than sports sites an youtube highlight vids. They picked the players who they think can help out the team in the long run.

"We didn't adress offensive weapons! Cam has no one to throw to." As a person who was hping for a WR all offseason, I understand. but after Hunter an Hopkins were gone i don't think we had much interest in WR. We always spoke about how we wanted someone who could impact right now, and I guess they felt like no one left after that was available.

In short, stop fuging complaining.

(Speaking of Short if you're bitching about the Short pick look at the Giants D-line depth, now loo kat ours.)

I live in new york so i've got a fairly decent knowledge of the general opinions on moves the Giants have made.

Let me put it this way, since the Eli Manning era started, the moves made by the Giants organization have NOT been popular with the fanbase. They did not like the series of washed up vet OL signings, they hated the JPP pick, and they hated parting ways with Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw and Derrick Ward.

JPP is arguably the best 4-3 DE in the game (yes he lacked production last year, but they have a balanced line that spreads those numbers around).

That OL really solidified during their superbowl runs and has played great.

None of those backs are anything particularly special.

I'm just saying if Gettleman brings what was successful in NY here, we are probably going to be disappointed when fan favorites aren't resigned and big names are not brought in.

The huddle as a collective body is similar to a bi-polar teenager who never seems to get his way even though his parents are trying to do what is best for him.

It's comical and sometimes really fuging annoying.

Tell me about it. To the OP, I've tried explaining things to people, but they chose to remain ignorant. My advice to you is just to accept that there will be people here who just don't get it.

By the way, I loved the Klein and Barner picks. Those of you who are expecting Beason to be an all-pro again may be in for a rude awakening. The defence was better with him off the field, and of course, he got injured again. Barner was great value in the 6th round. Diamond in the rough.

Yeah man just let them be. It kinda got me worked up at first but in reality, i feel most Huddlers understand what this drafts means and how it is a big positive in terms of our future.

If tards wana be tards, let them die out man.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
