NGT - To what extent will you be rooting for Saquon this year?

[BluesCruz]

I hope he becomes the face of the franchise 

[uconnjack8]

I root for three teams every week.  The Giants and whoever is playing Dallas and Philly.

[T200]

I voted for passionately. I'm a fan of his 100%. I hope he runs for 200+ and multiple TDs for 15 games and less than 50 when he plays us!

He deserves to play behind a solid line to help him showcase his talents. Had we had a better line or gone to a team with a line, he would easily be the top RB over the course of his career.

[Bob In PA]

No more than any other non-Giant... so I voted "I don't care" (not quite accurate but close enough). Bob

[Doc16LT56]

I voted for 4 but I'm probably somewhere between 4 and 5. I don't dislike the guy, but I don't want his team to do well and I wouldn't mind seeing a few weeks where he goes something like 18 carries for 42 yards. If he went somewhere outside the division I would've probably voted for 3, don't care.

Threads stating what? That he's past his prime?

Knowing how we are around here, most of them will undoubtedly be after he has a bad game.

Point is, some that say they don't care one way or the other will be the ones initiating the threads... because they actually care.

I would enjoy watching Saquon languish in Philly, so I'll commit to starting a thread the first time he averages less than 3 yards a carry, which he did in 20% of his starts as a Giant.

Because the rivalry with Philly matters to me, not an aging RB who was sold to us as touched by God but was in reality known as much for his bitcoin advocacy than anything he accomplished on the field.

He was definitely boom or bust but without him, this offense would have been much worse.

I do think the Giants' RB-by-committee will collectively produce more than featuring Barkley.

The goal is to get better than Dallas and Philly. It didn't work out for Barkley here. Players come and go but the goal hasn't changed.

I am in the don't care camp, but I think you're correct.   I think their are two aspects to this.  There is Barkley the person and Barkley the asset.   As a person, his success or failure doesn't phase me because he is no longer on the team (for some reason, I never really warmed up to the guy, even though he carried himself well).   There is also Barkley the asset and his success and failure reflects on Joe Schoen and the decisions he made.  So I could see that aspect being discussed.
