Quote from: Ed Vette on May 15, 2024, 02:20:18 PMWouldn't Jones throwing to Nabors and Hyatt make for an exciting promotion. The team is struggling to find an identity and this was the best they could do.And add Singletary as well. There's a new 26 in town.
The veiled conspiracy theory would be who will the starting QB be for the NY Giants when the media is dropping hints of a competition between two struggling passers.
Quote from: kingm56 on May 15, 2024, 02:15:39 PMI did get a chuckle...you know I respect and appreciate what you do! We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.
Quote from: kingm56 on May 15, 2024, 02:03:27 PMTim,
Can I ask you a few questions, which I hope will better articulate my point?
1. Do yo believe the Giants have an extensive marketing department?
2. Do you believe the Giants conducted research pertaining to the players the fanbase was most excited about, which coupled with thier internal data (e.g. jersey sales, media request, etc) allowed them to glean who thier most marketable players are?
3. If you believe 2 occurred, isn't it logical to place the players that polled/rated the highest on the marquee?
Also, to Ed's point, the Giants would look foolish to promote DJ, only to go in a different direction early in the season.
From my perspective, I just have a hard time believing a multi-billion dollar organization randomly chose three players to promote without doing extensive research.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 15, 2024, 02:06:36 PMWell, that same marketing department thought it was a good idea to give fans a soda for fan appreciation day, so there's that.
Quote from: Ed Vette on May 15, 2024, 01:59:15 PMThey don't know who the starting QB will be.That's a *little* more plausibe. Little.
Quote from: kingm56 on May 15, 2024, 01:34:21 PMI hear you, Tim, but the data simply doesn't support your sentiments; 6 of the top 10 most valuable franchise have stunk for 3 or more years...5 of the 6 have stunk for more than a decade; The Bill, Lions and Bengals are #30, 31 and 32. It's fairly clear winning has absolutely nothing to do with profitability. Concerning the PSL, the Giants could care less who buys thier tickets. The NFL ticket exchange ensures they get a cut of ticket sales from all third party vendors. So, while some fans elected to forgo thier PSL(s), other fans have stepped in to purchase them, if solely for the purpose of reselling thier tickets via said exchange to make a profit.Sorry, still don't buy that this flyer without Jones will generate more revenue, since you say that's the bottom line, than it would with him.
More to the point, the Giants marketing department does not care about throwing players a bone or winning games; their job is to sell tickets. It really is that simple, my friend. I believe some fans conflate the entertainment side of the business with football operations; they're two separate things...
#2 Pats
#4 Giants
#5 Bears
#6 Raiders
#7 Jets
#8 Commanders
Quote from: kingm56 on May 15, 2024, 01:11:15 PMTim,I get your point. I just don't agree with it.
The Giants are in the entertainment sector; their job is to generate buzz for the sole purpose of selling tickets and/or merchandise. I'm not entirely sure what rewarding players via a spot on a flyer has to do with those efforts. The Giants are a multi-billion dollar privately owned business, with an extensive marketing department. I'm sure thier research discovered fans are excited about WDR protentional; thus, they chose to promote him over more well established players. Fundamentally, a football organization #1 goal is to generate profit, vice winning games. The flyer is concerned with the former and not the latter.
Quote from: kingm56 on May 15, 2024, 12:29:50 PMTo be fair, DJ is just not marquee player. The Giants are in the entertainment business and need to promote players that will actually sell tickets and/or merchandise.I like WDR and hope he has his breakout season. But... what has he done to this point to warrant being on the flyer?
Quote from: Ed Vette on May 15, 2024, 11:29:28 AMIt's not his fault. Blame all the DJ Hate out there.Blame the person who created the flyer and blame the person who approved it.
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 12, 2024, 09:33:44 AMI wouldn't think you would consider this a Daniel Jones issue because Bellinger shined with DJ as QB in 2022. That was until he sustained a serious eye injury. Bellinger never was the same when he returned from that injury in 2022 and didn't regain his rookie magic in 2023I wonder if the damage was mental as well as physical. Could he be playing scared?
