OT: Giants

Giants are kinda screwed - there’s really nothing great coming in the quarterback free agent market and none of the current college guys, save the Oregon kid, really looks like a first-round draft pick next year. It looks like the kind of offseason where someone overpays guys like Teddy Bridgewater because there’s nothing else available.

I think they’re looking at a stop gap situation - either Eli for another year or sign some middle-of-the-road quarterback that gets cut loose for salary cap reasons.

Not sure how much they have to trade right now in all honesty.
Jenkins is the only one I could see go right now and bring anything back like a mid round pick.

Eli, Barkley, Odell and Engram are not going anywhere.

Engram showing the hallmarks of a bust. The two drops yesterday were pathetic, especially the fourth-and-3 when ball went through his hands. All the talk about his speed and what a matchup nightmare he is means nothing if he can't catch.

Should try to pick up Tyrod Taylor for cheap after the season. He's decent enough to satisfy the skill guys and would provide a cheap bridge while they build out the rest of the team.

I agree, but i’ve said it before on the board, I think Teddy can be a good starting QB in the league still. I think we have a few options, go after Teddy or maybe someone like Brissett who have shown some promise and are somewhat mobile, or obviously plan on taking a QB high in the draft. Only problem with the latter is that its been reported Herbert is likely staying at Oregon another year. I guess the next best QB in this class would be Haskins, but I haven’t watched enough NCAAF to judge if he is worth a likely top-3 selection.

As a Giants fan and seeing what the options are at this point, this is what I'm currently hoping for.

I’m a Viking fan and I liked Bridgewater - great team guy and had the potential to be a career starter.

But that was not a normal knee injury. In most cases, that injury ends a career.

But I do hope someone pays him.

I think Bridgewater will get a one year deal with some team to see what he can do since he is a just a backup now.
I like him more than other Giant fans and think he will be solid if he is near 100% before he was injured
 
Eli should not play a snap next year which means Lauletta needs to play the remainder of the season. He can get sacked as often as Eli but he may just avoid a few of those sacks and not be a sitting duck. If we really want the first pick maybe they will stick with Eli.

Doubt Odell is going anywhere. The cap hit would be too significant. Hate for Eli to go out this way but can we see what we have in Lauletta. Being a Giants and Knicks fan I really need UConn to decent and exciting this season.

Exactly. I would like to throw in the Yankees for myself. Was excited in June. This is a new low for me. You are right, could not agree more. Still excited about our pup.

Question for the giants fans

What were your realistic expectations for this season?

Everyone knew the oline sucked and Eli has shown over past couple seasons he's on the downside of his career. I hate the giants but given their needs I probably be begging for a season like this, in a year you don't expect to do anything, if I were a fan. Get a top draft pick instead of middle of round blow up the team and rebuild around arguably the 2 best skill players in the league. Football teams can have quick turnarounds it's not like baseball where it's a 3-5 year process
Expand ...
My expectations were a better season than last year?
 
When you are this bad, everybody is on the table. Its that simple.

I doubt it’s Tyrod if they go with a stop gap. It’ll likely be Keenum as the Broncos don’t seem to be liking him and Shurmur had him looking great in Minnesota.
 
What’s Herbert’s reasoning for returning to school? Passing up on going #1 in the draft is a major risk of ending in catastrophe.

I don't think it's final anyway. Sort of premature report iirc.

Woke theory: NFL forcing number 1 and only QB to pretend he's staying in school so teams won't 'tank for Herbert'.

Talk about first world problems. You guys have won 100 games this year. Add to that
a million titles. No violins, large or small, are playing for Yankees fans.

His brother will be a freshman at Oregon next year and supposedly he wants to play with him for a year

It’s all about playing in the playoffs, extending the year for the fan base. Last year one game from WS, this year a somewhat disappointing 100 wins but how can that really be? We were not as good as the Red Sox yet if Sanchez hits it 20 foot further who knows? As a Yankee fan I’m fine with where they are and expect them to get better if they improve the pitching and add another stud good hitter. Having said that the Giants are killing me, the Huskies have been killing me and the Rangers don’t look too good this year. As a C’s fan it should be a fun year and will only get better as they develop chemistry.

Huskies are the key now for me!!!!

In addition to growing up in Eugene and wanting to win a championship at the school he grew up rooting for in his backyard. Also believe the family is fortunate enough where the money can wait a year.

Does Teddy have any mobility left? He has been mentioned as a stop gap for the Giants next year. With this line though he'll need mobility

If Giants can get Justin Herbert I would be very happy with that. I would have wanted Baker but I had no problem with the Giants passing on Darnold, Josh Allen or Josh Rosen. I think Herbert is better than those three. At the time I was hoping Giants take Mason Rudolph with that 3rd round pick after they selected Barkley but in the end BJ Hill has been a bright spot.

If Herbert isn't available or doesn't come out, I would want Bosa and hope to steal Ryan Finley on the turn.

Speaking of tickets I am coming in from Chicago for the Giants/Bears game on Dec. 2. What do you guys think will be my best source for buying tickets? I'm not a huge fan of Stubhub or Vivid as I think there are better deals out there. Normally I would just scalp at the game but we are traveling with the wives and they want ticket in hand before we go to Met Life.

Given your situation, unless you know someone who has a connection to season tickets, I think StubHub is probably your best bet. As you note, scalping at the game is probably the best option, but if you can’t leave it to chance that’s not gonna work. I have had very good luck on Craigslist for a variety of events and I have never been burned, but that does require a leap of faith at some point and I know there are a lot of stories of people getting burned there.
 
Somehow I expected the giants to suit up one player next week. Just Eli. Maybe a kicker. Trade everyone buy Eli would be their style.
