What player on the giants can you say had a great year?

You know damn well those two teams don't compare. Eli Manning has won two superbowls, and he has Victor Cruz. We had Clausen.

Don't quote me if you are going to use such a blatantly asinine argument to attempt to prove a flawed point.

I'm not sure you even know what my point is. I'm not even comparing the two teams. My point is, how can you be so critical of the season Nicks had without looking at the team as a whole? If Nicks had a down season while the team flourished, that's one thing. Everybody on the Giants team had a down year.

The Giants weren't that bad, yes bad for them considering their two recent championships, but not as bad you want to claim.

Nobody is saying Nicks isn't talented, you guys don't have to drag the rest of his team through the mud to make him look better.

who is saying anything about him being "the savior" to our WR corps? pretty much everyone is saying he'd be an upgrade over lafell. not much more than that. i think he is one option among several WR FAs that could be the easiest to aqcuire and on par with the top options. i think that we should also draft a guy early...and then that guy would likely be the "savior" of the WR corps. i think most would agree with that. nicks would just be making a fair WR corps better.
I agree and worst case scenario he is our true #2,best case scenario a high end #1. There is risk involved here so the contract has to be right. However if anyone in the panthers organization knows nicks it's Gettleman. Sent from my SPH-D710 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

I'm not, but there seems to be a which hunt out on the guy when the whole team deserves blame. I think he is worth signing for the right price that's all. Nobody thought Ted Ginn would be this good, People wrote Smitty off after 2010, and even Olsen has put up career numbers. My point is that guys seem to play better with Cam. Signing him can take the pressure off of Benjamin.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
