God that 2011 draft had some gems. If we didn't need a QB (thanks Hurney) we could have snagged future PB #1 WR A.J Green or furture PB #1 WR Julio Jones.

 

Steve Smith wasn't A.J Green, and those later round 12' WRs weren't Steve Smith. Next draft we have to find Smith's replacement, or do something big in FA.

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?

 

Boom!

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.

 

Numbers don't mean poo. It's about talent and value. 2011 was much stronger, simply because of Julio and A.J. Green.

 

Torrey Smith, Randall Cobb. 2013 doesn't have recievers like that. Match them up before 2011 class played played a snap in the NFL. 2011 class was far superior talent wise.

but your point was not accurate. you claimed a WR had 46 catches in 6 years when in 09 with the giants he had over 100 catches. you also called Nicks a #2 WR, which again is not accurate.

people say this mind of thing  a lot, but how do you know this? how do we know that this class isn't as good as that one? who are those psychic experts capable of making those calls?

 

is it because we didn't draft one? 

 

 

meh....in before some pseudo-expert says it's obvious that this class is weak.

The article presents a true statement but the fact is that we had too many holes to fill through a single draft.  The plus is that it gave us the stronger option of going BPA no matter who from Gettle's perspective.  I'm not inferring we're bad, rather just a rising team that is patient and wants to maximize all talent possible.  A little too patient and conservative at times, but not detrimental or anything.  I like how we've been building and yes Cam does need a new weapon but we had a sh*t tone of holes to fill...and in a single draft...no matter the height of the need, Gettle was more about maximizing talent.  We're getting there...

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
