Exactly. The point is that effort was made a look they have two superbowls to show for it.

People always dismiss criticism from "experts" but the honest truth is that we have never had back to back winning seasons we deserve every bit of it.

I made my post with no comment. Was curious as to what the reaction would be.

Yes, the Giants time and again dipped into the well to attempt to upgrade their WR talent.

My follow-up question is this: As the Giants were doing this, what was their level of talent on their OL and DL?

Jones is a rare talent, Hunter wasn't even the top WR from his school.

Actually Hunter was the #1 WR on that team. And exactly a RARE talent coming out which means you can't sit around waiting for someone like him. If your doing that it won't get you far.

He was the fourth WR picked in a weak pool yet you say he was worth trading up for? Yes, let's give up our first next year and second this year for the fourth best WR. Go back to playing Madden.

He was drafted a few picks ahead of us we could have gotten him for our 2nd and our 4th which we also wasted.

You say it was a weak WR class I say we'll see. You better hope it was. You end 2013 with a 34 year old Steve smith as the only WR on your roster and that's IF he doesn't retire.

Also 2011 was considered a "strong" WR class-4 WRS taken in the first 44 picks.

2013 considered a "weak" class-5 WRs taken in the first 44 picks.

I still find it funny how snooty we are about WRs.  So and so is no AJ Green....2/10, would not bang.

 

Steve Smith, Mushin Muhamnad...weren't AJ Green.  Tons of starting stud #1's playing the game right now where drafted in the 2nd or 3rd rounds.  What does it matter if someone doesn't appear to be AJ Green or Megatron?  That isn't the only way to find great WRs to carry your WR corp.

They don't get it man. You look at the last few Superbowl wins and I can show you Wrs making plays and none of those were AJ Greens or Julio Jones or Megatrons.

Exactly. Guys you can find on our roster now but do not try and pretend those WR were the reason they won. It starts and finishes on the line, the exact spot we focused on in this draft.

Did you see the giants first Super Bowl against the patriots? The line collapsed and he threw the ball up. Flacco threw the ball up multiple times to Boldin and Jacoby Jones made plays out of nothing. The problem is not how our WRs sit now the problem is that they are all in the last year or only year of their contracts.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
