At least Dart has a much better resume than Jones. Dart was all-conference in the loaded SEC. Jones had 2600 passing yards, 22 passing tds and 9 picks his last year at Duke in a far worse conference. The Giants picked him solely based on size and intangibles because his production definitely didn't warrant it.
The Giants forgot that a running back without an offensive line is kind of dangerous to a running back. I recall QB Phil Simms getting his brains beat in on sacks for his first couple of years back in the day.
Outstanding synopsis. Painful to read but excellent brutally honest summary. I would have fired Daboll and Schoen after wasting hundreds of millions on Jones and Burns alone. But to watch Saquon on the tonight show wearing his superbowl ring and goggling and then Mara re-signs them????
Agree on Mara. Look at his track record. He might be a good man, but he’s a TERRIBLE executive
Wellington didn't exactly light the world on fire himself, he finally got it right with Parcells, Fassell and Coughlin hires.
Yep it's why I'm an Eli homer.
True and it's a better spot then 6th overall, drafting over Carter at 3 definitely would've been a Gettleman move lol.
You draft game breakers in first round. You don’t draft productive runners.
His run started when he hired George young…at the commissioner’s insistence. But he got it right for 25 years. John has been an abject failure in his hiring
You think he'll sit and learn???
We'll see, I'm gonna take a wait and see approach on Shedeur. I know it's the cool and trendy thing to jump into this narrative that he's a locker room team cancer but I'm not gonna jump into that narrative. A lot of the thoughts are targeted outrage and no one's own opinions on him.
Saquon, LT, Ricky Williams, etc.
Do you have any reasoning behind your stand there? Have you seen or heard anything to the contrary that goes against "where there's smoke, there's fire?"
Yes there are red flags of course and there are legit reasons he fell in the draft. He interviewed poorly.Do you have any reasoning behind your stand there? Have you seen or heard anything to the contrary that goes against "where there's smoke, there's fire?"
He built a customized draft room in his house with "LEGENDARY" emblazoned all over everything and his logo is 2 dollar signs. Is that trendy unsupported narrative?
Shedeur Sanders' custom NFL Draft night setup goes viral on social media
Shedeur Sanders isn't in Green Bay for the 2025 NFL Draft, but he isn't letting that hinder his potential draft moment as his custom setup at home went viral.www.foxnews.com
Kid wants to be legendary, he is surrounding himself with motivation. I understand Deion and Shedeur got a lot of attention and certainly come off as cocky, but that attracts attention and is overall good for the brand. I think Shedeur will be good, I think the NFL will be a reality check, and Deion not constantly being around will help.Do you have any reasoning behind your stand there?

Edgerrin James did not win a ring, the Colts won it in Joseph Addai rookie year also a 1st rd pick was kind of a bust. As a matter of fact Dominic Rhodes an undrafted rb had a great playoff run with Colts in their Super Bowl season, he split carries with Addai that year, Edgerrin James went to the Cardinals that year.
I'm a little pissed that Dart was picked over Sanders, apparently Schoen liked Sanders more but Daboll like Dart more.
I guess if you come from that point of view, that's your call. Using phrases like "surrounding himself with motivation" is an interesting choice. Especially when you hear stories about guys like Jerry Rice who lost games and were seen running hills at 5 am the next day.

Fair point, but he isn't at all like Ryan Leaf and other flame outs. Kid has real skill and solid numbers from CO. Who cares if he's cocky? Joe Namath used to be on the sidelines in a full fur coat and sunglasses yet he could ball. As if Prime Time was gonna have a non-cocky kid playing football.
