Gettleman is trying to find his Victor Cruz instead of going to get guys that can actually fuging play. Gettleman isn't the upgrade people think

Yeah, I'm not sure why we don't just sign one of the dozen or so young All Pro receivers that are just sitting at home right now waiting for a chance to play for league minimum.

Or why don't we just trade our 5th round pick for Calvin Johnson or something? Who cares about draft picks anyway?

I swear, it's like they're not even trying :wacko:

Sarcasm doesn't quite work in this situation, in my opinion, with our WR corps being so great and all.

Here's a quick exercise to try.

Go take a look at the league's transaction page (or Aaron Wilson's Twitter, either one will do) and check out the quality of players that are being signed by all the other teams in the NFL at this point in the season.

Bring me back the names of the future Hall of Famers that other teams are picking up while we just sit here. Show me who I should be disappointed that we're missing out on.

If trades are more your thing, give me a realistic trade scenario that benefits our team, would be agreeable with another team, and doesn't cost us a future high draft pick.

The perspective I get from people in here is that every team is making blockbuster moves to get to the Super Bowl except us.

Show me some evidence of that and we can talk.

This is more a carryover from this offseason, where everyone noted that we were thin at CB, OL and WR and that Gettlemagic seemed to refuse to do anything relating to bringing in real quality players there.  I'll give him props for safety, but he didn't make the moves I think many of us thought would help in terms of trades or FAs.  I know we've got our limits due to The Ghost Of Hurney Past, but still.

 

As to a move, why not Gordon for a 3rd?  Gordon is better than any receiver we'd get in the third round and probably even better than a first rounder we could pick up, and with our holes, I think getting quality starters is going to be important.

The guy was given a 3rd round grade by Pro Football weekly (not that I put much stock in their draft analysis), so at least someone thought he had some talent.

 

As to the LB from Philly, he must have been cut before we signed him. If you sign somebody off another team's practice squad, they have to go to your 53 man roster for a minimum of something like 3 weeks. I assume that rule hasn't been changed.

      Hall of Fame candidates announced

      I'd love to have Eli as our QB. He was a proven baller in the playoffs, and still a legit franchise QB who was better than the majority of the league in the regular season. Honestly the Giants didn't build many great teams around him. Put him in a beneficial situation like Belichick, Reid, Tomlin, etc. run and he could've won more than 2 SBs if you ask me. He was on a lot of bad teams, like really bad teams, throughout his career.   Hell, swap him in for Rivers in the mid-late aughts and I bet he gets the Chargers a SB. Still think that whole draft situation was bullshit and lost respect for Eli there, but whatever.

      Yeah but if you are talking about something like an extremely rarely used or needed play like a QB sneak, it's already a pretty off the rails argument. That doesn't factor in enough to W's and L's to be something that is particularly relevant.  If you want to talk overall arm strength, field vision, footwork, consistency, athleticism, etc on Bryce, those are all valid critiques of his game and why he hasn't been successful. But the oddball obsessions about pretty meaningless aspects are a bit bizarre. QB sneaks? Not enough 40+ yard passes? Workout regimen?? Guys....there is ample stuff to criticize without this kind of nonsense.

      Im not saying he should, but its one more play that's off the table. Do you think the eagles would be as good without the QB sneak?
