OT: Giants

Giants should have let Eli go last season - many long time fans were wrong then.
Eli hasn’t played well in 5 years. Especially with their OL he is just not the right guy.

Apparently the guy hurt his hamstring on the play which is why he didn't go after it. IDK.

If that’s the case than I retract that play gets someone fired.

You’re betting on Josh Allen and the kind of retread RBs we suffered with for the last 8 years?

Take a look at the draft history of the league's best rushers and see how many of them weren't high draft picks.

You can win with patchwork at RB. You cannot win with patchwork at QB.

How did anyone besides Saquon help the team? Odell is being sent on 5 YARD routes every single gd play. That is not only awful playcalling, but it is taking away your most dangerous weapon.

Odell caught another trash Eli screen on 3rd and long and single-handedly beat two guys to keep a drive alive. The next play, Saquon got the long TD run. Everyone talked about the TD run and forgets that it doesn't happen at all if not for what Odell did LITERALLY THE PLAY BEFORE
 
I am an Eli supporter. however the fatal flaw was they can't win with him with this offensive line. They either should have moved on or traded down and drafted MULTIPLE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN. typical Giants they played middle of road and its road to nowhere.
 
My bad, Chiefs took Hunt one spot in FRONT of the Giants taking Webb. Whatever. They still messed up.

Time to give Davis Webb some snaps. Oh wait.....

They need a mobile quarterback because the line cannot provide the time Eli needs. Also looks like he has lost arm strength.
 
The erosion of Eli: The Giant problem with the franchise QB

>>>>Manning is 32nd in the NFL with an average of 10.31 yards per completion. He's 27th with a touchdown on 3.2 percent of his pass attempts. His 7.02 air yards per attempt put him 29th among quarterbacks.

“All you have to do is watch him,” one NFL executive said. “Don’t think about what his name is. Just watch him. Don’t make excuses. It’s blatant and obvious.”

>>>>Behind closed doors, several Giants players have expressed frustration with Manning's performance, according to sources. One player specifically commented recently about Manning’s inability to do anything against Cover 2 and zone defenses.

>>>>The previous regime admitted that Manning was nearing the end. General manager Jerry Reese said Manning was on the “back nine” of his career before the start of last season. In recent years, some individuals inside the organization have believed that Manning is holding the team back. Most have since been fired.

Really strange that the new staff and GM got rid of this kid? He'd be the one right now just to make a change. Certainly can move around and who cares about accuracy at this point just make a play. Not sure about the rookie with this line could get killed but worth a shot nonetheless. They have so many problems though they wold still be unwatchable minus Barkley. He's a great pick no matter, one of a kind happy with this they would've sucked with any rookie QBs anyway and the same line.

They will have a top 3 pick again.

They need to start Lauletta after the bye week. Neither Eli or the team are benefitting from him starting at this point.

Yup. See if he has what it takes. If not, draft a franchise guy next year. Are there any tackles available in free agency next season? Because after watching Solder last night we might need 2 of them.

It really sucks that the QB crop is so slim this year. The only one that interests me is Justin Herbert from Oregon, and I can’t even confidently say that I’d take him before Josh Allen if they were in the same draft. The Giants will end up putting all of their eggs in his basket simply because it’s the only basket there.

I don’t think Lock is even worth discussing at this point. I’d rather sign Goff.
 
Yeah I like Herbert as well, but he def isn't a sure thing. The good thing is a lot of the teams at the top of the draft next year won't need QBs.

I think I'm okay with Solder for now, especially next year when Hernandez has a year under his belt. C, RG and RT are definite needs though
 
I think they give Eli two more starts. Once they are 1-7 they will start giving reps to Tanney and Lauletta in practice. Just my guess.
 
Giants need a lot. Last night was extremely painful. Eli has to go, one way or another. As QB, he has a loosing record since the Giants last Super Bowl win. That's the first step.

Get some offensive linemen who know how to block! Barkley is a magnificent talent. But he needs a line that can block and create holes to run through. I fear that one one of his crazy runs, he's going to get a knee blown out.

Too many missed assingments on the d-backs. Giants use to be known for their defense. Not so any more.
 
What a massive waste of young weapons. In no universe should you be 1-5 when you have players like Beckham and Barkley. And your 2nd options are Sterling Shepard and Evan Engram. It's about as cringeworthy as it can get.

Also: I'd love to see them try to roll out Lauletta. They are high on the kid, part of the reason they let Webb go, but I just don't see it happening. It's not like this organization to do that (last year notwithstanding) and they made it pretty clear at the start of this year they were standing behind Eli.

The Giants are a dumpster fire and I love it. Too much money for a diva receiver and while Barkley might very well be an all-time great when all is said and done, by the time the Giants get the OL and QB they so desperately need, he will be on the down side of his career.
