2024 New York Football Giants (hello darkness my old friend) (2 Viewers)

Stafford is staying with the Rams ( I knew he wasn't going to be traded)
Diana Russini (sp) is saying the Giants will focus on Aaron Rodgers.

I'm ok with Rodgers. Getting him SHOULD prevent Schoen from doing the dumb thing which is trading up for a QB.
If they like Ward or Sanders and they fall to 3, I'm fine with them taking whichever one they like, but do not trade up!!!
 
Absolutely moronic to pivot to Rodgers, who is legit the most immobile option out there. Pay effing Jamies peanuts; this team is arguably two years away from being two years away. They're not a QB away from competing and they just saw the Rodgers ****show IN THEIR OWN BUILDING via the Jets, a team with much more talent than the Giants.


I'm just speechless.

I definitely prefer Winston

I think the Giants, Titans, and Browns are on the foolish side and need an FF person to advise them.

Are you telling your FF league now who you're taking with the third or second pick in August?

Oh but the Giants may sign some over the hill player like Rodgers- that was convincing.
Oh yeah well the Titans may bring Rudolph back.
Pipe down kids. You go talk to Hunter and Carter and let some long time FF person tell ya how to work this.

It just all lands so amateurish to me
 
I don't want Rogers
It doesn't make sense
Unless they sign him
Draft Hunter or Carter
Take say Kyle McCord later in the draft
And let him sit and learn for a year
They're not a playoff team this season anyway
But I still don't want Rogers

Agreed. I understand WHY they're interested in trying it (Daboll and Schoen on the hot seat much like JD and Saleh were) but the ceiling of this "working" is very very limited, and potentially sets the franchise back somewhat significantly. ::ducksfromJoeBryantcallingmeahater::

Can't help but wonder if this would even be breathed about if this was a stronger QB class. I think if this was last years QB class THIS year, they'd be slam dunk drafting someone and giving Daboll the chance to develop 'his guy.' Signing Rodgers, it's just year-to-year desperation mode.

Seems foolish from an outside perspective doesn’t it (Rogers)? However with jobs on the line I doubt anyone in the organization has a desire to kick another season to the curb completely. Even though that is really the best choice for this squad (considering the competition they have in division as well as the numerous needs on roster).
 
At this point of the year, most rumors are agent talk.
Agreed for the most part. There are also rumors started by teams (mostly about what other teams are or are not going to do).
It's lying season, and the lies increase steadily until the draft.
Would be nice to wake up and realize everything Schoen said about Barkley was a lie within a dream.:zzz:
Instead of a real nightmare.:eek:
 
Couple of interesting Giants related items in this article by Matthew Berry


I’ve been told that Rodgers is now looking at three options, ranked here in order of likeliness as it was told to me: First, go to the New York Giants. Second, go to the Tennessee Titans. Third, stay in shape and wait for an injury/opening on a winning team with playoff chances.

@JordanRaanan

Multiple league sources left their meetings with the Giants this week thinking a trade for the No. 1 pick with the Tennessee Titans was likely. In that scenario, they expected it to be for Miami’s Cam Ward.
Going to be very expensive for them.
And stupid. Giving up draft capital this team needs for Ward. Schoen is totally inept. I blame Marra,there's patience and there's stupidity.
Right now this organization is very stupid.
 
.... sometimes I wish I could time travel and change time so Tom Coughlin became the Giants GM instead of Gettleman or Schoen.
I feel for you, they are currently in a tough spot. This draft class does not make it easier either. Bummer for NYG that it is not a strong QB/T class, hopefully they can make the most of it.
 
Giants day one signings
CB Paulson Adebo (Saints)
DT Roy Robertson-Harris (Seahawks)
OT James Hudson III (Browns)
LB Chris Board (Ravens)
DE Chauncey Golston (Cowboys)
WR Darius Slayton (Giants)
 
Still need a guard and obviously QB is the elephant in the room, but feel like they’ve plugged a lot of holes and added some depth in areas that killed them last year. Hopefully Oline is a big focus in the draft as I don’t really like Hudson and that swing tackle spot has been a huge liability last few years.

Wonder if all this investment means they are saving draft capital to make a big move up for QB. They’d clearly need to overpay Tennessee to move up at this point, and honestly, I think the titans are getting locked in on Cam regardless of the offers.
 
Looking more like Russell Wilson or maybe they go after Cousins. The way the roster is constructed, adding a vet like that only hurts them as they will win some games that will hurt their draft status next year. Unfortunately the coach and GM are sitting on a burner and will do whatever they can to claw some victories.
 
Holland is a good player, but they should have just kept McKinney. Last year McKinney had 8 INTs while the Giants as a team had 5. Just one of many good, homegrown players Schoen let walk for nothing. These holes he's filling are of his own making. Mara said he kept Schoen because he likes his plan. I don't really see a particularly good plan here. They're just filling holes he created in the 1st place. These are standard FA signings IMO. Still no plan for a QB and still need to fix the O-line, both of which are positions that have been issues Schoen hasn't been able to fix in his time as GM, not just for this year.

I know he won't do it because he needs to win now, but I would like to see them trade down from 1.03 and pick up an extra 1st for next year along with anything else they can get. I would rather take O-line or CB in the 1st and take one of the 2nd tier QBs like Dart or Shough or McCord in the 2nd or trade up a few spots into the late 1st if needed. I wouldn't mind taking a QB in the 2nd and then if someone like McCord falls to the 4th take another QB there too. I don't want to waste 1.03, or even worse trade up, on Ward. I don't think there's a big difference between him and the 2nd tier QBs, even if Ward is currently the clear #1 QB.

ETA - I'm glad they kept Slayton and he got a market value contract after dealing with the way they treated him when they make him take a pay cut. He's been a solid player who whould put up better numbers with a better QB. He's also been a high character teammate, which I think has a lot of value.
 
Giants have spent the most $$$ in Free Agency and have nothing but a bunch of luke warm bodies to show for it !
Just so hard to give a **** what they do ... they've broken me

I'd rather 2 studs then 2 decent players and 6 depth pieces

Giants continue to **** up when it comes to Oline ,..
I know they don't want to hurt Eluemunor's feelings but he should be a swing Tackle (Sign Cam Robinson)
They have no RG (Sign Beckton)
Runyan was not very Good at LG (make him a swing G and give Neal a shot)

Bang !!! Those 2 players improved the team more than these 4 and the Eagles Oline takes a hit

It was probably a top 10 defense last season if they werent constantly on the field and playing from behind
And Unfortunately that hasnt changed ... Theyve done nothing to improve the Oline or QB

Yes that's what happens when you butcher every draft

Honestly, I think with Jeff Stoutland, the Eagles could take the Giants worst interior lineman, plug him in at RG and turn him into a PB player.

I agree Stoutland must be an amazing Oline coach ... but the Giants IOL is just waaaay to small especially for what the Eagles do
Carmen Bricillo seems like the Giants finally got it right from a coaching perspective but he was dealt a ****ty hand

LG - Runyan 6' 4", 307 lbs vs Dickerson 6' 6", 332 lbs
RG - Van Roten 6' 4", 295 lbs vs Becton 6' 7", 363 lbs

RT - Eluemunor 6' 4", 338 vs Mailata 6' 8", 365 lbs
LT - Thomas 6' 5", 315 lbs vs Johnson 6' 6", 325 lbs

Giants avg 6.425 313.75 lbs
Eagle avg 6.675 346.25 llbs
Eagle T and G avg 2.5" and 33 lbs more than the Giants and when Dickerson is at Center that has to be the biggest Oline in history if it's not already
Eagle G avg 6'6.5 350 lbs vs Giants 6'4" 300 lbs

Neither Cam Robinson nor Becton are reliable bets. What do they produce after they've been paid? Combine that with a bottom third org (probably lower) and I'd be careful what you wish for.

What kind of logic is that ??? You could say the same for everyone the Giants just signed.
Robinson and Becton would be the highest rated Giants olineman after Thomas
Becton is young and is a 1st rd talent with freakish size and athleticism
I wouldnt mind taking a chance on Jederick Wills. Another 1st rd talent who has delt with injuries the last 2 seasons ... He's young and could be had for cheap
James Hudson III is a complete waste of time

Sure,just give them all a 100.
Is that good?
 
We are 3 days into free agency. We’ve signed a bunch of guys but still have a big portion of cap space in limbo until we know what we can allocate to qb. And we havent even entered the draft, where we will have 5 Top 100 picks.

There’s a ton of time and assets left to acquire and we are freaking out that we didn’t sign Mekhi freaking Becton?

Thank you sir. That seems like a decent enough defense, but I wouldn't call that top 5.
 
The Giants have resigned Greg Van Roten
Excellent Our 290 lb Guard who will be getting destroyed by 350 lb DTs again ... Great !!!!
We are 3 days into free agency. We’ve signed a bunch of guys but still have a big portion of cap space in limbo until we know what we can allocate to qb. And we havent even entered the draft, where we will have 5 Top 100 picks.

Sounds like you are very confident in this Giants regime ...
Forgive me for being skeptical but until we improve our Oline and QB situation ...neither which has been addressed this team is going to continue to suck !!!
How long have we heard Giants GMs talk about improving the Oline and it still sux!!!!!!!
If we are going to bring in an old immobile QB or a rookie with potential , the single most important thing that they can do is protect the damn QB !!!
Do you think it's coincidence that Saquon Barkley finally reached his potential !?!?!

According to a video game
 
I was listening to Mike Francesca's podcast.

At 5:50, he says a source (that can't be a better source) told him the Giants' plan is to go all-out to sign Aaronn Rodgers AND to draft a quarterback in the first round (possible by trading up to #1).
