Big Blue Huddle

The Giants and anticipation last year was a true disconnect. Daboll ran a Club Med Camp, feeling good. They actually believed their OL was at least aquedate and had added impact players in Waller and Campbell, who bombed.

With their OL so porous, so lacking in depth, they never could integrate their new players (Hyatt too) and Jones was shell-shocked almost immediately, played scared and then kayoed.

The opening beat down by the Cowboys was a harbinger of the season.

Goff did go to the superbowl
I know riding Mcvay  coattails
But still.made it
Beside hurts , purdy and stafford who else made it
What are the 49ers going to do

Or 51 years ago when they paired Mendenhall up with another undersized third round pick in Nebraska DT 6'1" Rich Glover. 

This topic has been merged into NGT: Goff's New Deal.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 06:10:43 PMCan't argue your point, but this is a team that has been basically a doormat for decades. They finally have a successful year, and they're supposed to let the QB go? They weren't in a position to draft a QB. If you let Goff walk what do you do? Pay Cousins similar money?

I'm with you on the broad point of not ever paying elite QB money to a non-elite QB, but when you look at this organization and their long run history it's hard to kill them too badly for this.

If you want to say they never should have gotten rid of Stafford, fair enough, but now that they were in this situation what should they have done? If you don't pay Goff, who is your QB in 2024?

They chased him until he caught them. That contract was way over his market value. Which team would have paid him that stupid money. Same with Jones, over rating their own players. Goff doesn't have the body of work Cousins has, and he was stupidly overpaid too.

Too many years of failed draft stock caused this. Too many teams giving up on their first round picks instead of developing them. The mentality of starting a first round pick year one has killed careers.

"The Detroit Lions and quarterback Jared Goff have agreed to a four-year contract extension worth up to $212 million with $170 million guaranteed, per a league source."

Let's end this f***ing series tonight. Enough! I really don't need the stress of a potential collapse in a series that we led 3-0 in. God help this franchise if that ever happened.

Just get it done. Tonight. I don't even want to entertain these thoughts.

Man, if Jones had played last year like he had in 2022 his contract would be looking like a steal.  As it is, not so much.
