I liked JJ more than Maye but I don't really ever get upset at picks unless they are stupid ie Toney, Apple, etc.

I guess we are just ignoring that Devito got benched last year lol.

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 08:01:54 AMTrue, but "fan" is short for "fanatic".  I sort of expect some fans to behave that way, especially ones who really liked Barkley and were hurt or felt betrayed by Barkley joining a despised division rival.   I would think the wealthy players who have a new base of fans supporting them and cheering them couldn't be bothered with the nonsense.

Did you ask yourself how you would react?

I'm not upset. I didn't think Drake Maye was worth what the Patriots were asking. We won that one.

JJ McCarthy? Yeah I probably would have pulled the trigger, but I'm not hard enough over to be upset about the direction the team is taking. In three years I may feel differently. I'll trust Joe Schoen until I don't. 

I think the team moto has gone from "All In" to "No More Excuses."

The world will never know. Good old BluesCruz...the Andy Kaufman of BBH.

By all reports, the Giants made a strong effort to trade up to draft Maye but that simply wasn't possible because the Pats wanted him as their quarterback.

So here is my question.

Are you upset because:

A) the Giants didn't ignore their board and drafted one of the lesser-graded QBs on their board (in other words, they should have "reached" for a QB)

B) You disagree with the Giants' grades they had on the remaining 3 QBs, at least one of them had a grade that justified drafting them 6th overall (passing on a blue chip prospect like Nabers)

C) Neither A nor B, you are just unhappy with the circumstances (no "mistakes" made) that had the Giants come out of the draft without a new QB

We're all really tired of the OL being awful and it sucks to have missed on some FA OL in the past AND to live with the likelihood that Neal isn't going to make it at RT. I like the FA OL they got this year, but I've said that before. Still, I think given where they were at 6 and the fact that they couldn't trade to move into a spot to get Maye, I'm 100% on board with taking Nabers there. We still have to face QB reality, but they obviously didn't have conviction on McCarthy. I would not have taken Alt at 6.

Neither can the ignorant fans.

If Tommy was in this years draft, he would have been sitting at a bar in downtown Detroit with Sam Hartman watching the draft.

Everyone likes Tommy and I hope he does well, but the Giants aren't going to carry three QB's and he's not making the final roster unless Jones or Lock get injured or traded. He's going to hit the waver wire and if he clears, he will wind up on the practice squad.
