Big Blue Huddle

I'd normally select my favorite (Daniels) but since he went to the Commodes, I'll say none.

If you insist that I pick one, out of deference to our "QB whisperer" @Ed Vette I'll say Nix and the Broncos.

A shot in the dark. No particular reason except Broncos have been 'down' for quite some time (like the Giants) so if I start picking them now to revitalize and keep doing it each year, I'm bound to be right eventually. lol

Quote from: Uncle Mickey on April 29, 2024, 04:28:38 PMWas Wink an increasing cancer last year? That was a very strange dynamic to say the least and the defense did not seem like it had a really sound plan many games.

Wink put up a horrific run defense and for all the talk of aggressiveness the Giants were in the bottom 5 of the league in sacks.

Half-guessed on green. Had the rough concept but I didn't quite nail the category.

Blue I hadn't figured out but I'd like to think I could have gotten that one eventually.

I think.washington also.got.very good
The weapons are very good
The Giants and washington is still the 2nd tier
The big question is
Did people.see how to.play against dallas from.the.packers lost

C willaims has an amazing offense also
I say maybe better than the minny offense
He can be like when Big Ben came into the league
Just grow with the team
PS
If we have to pick a.rookie QB next year
Our WRs should also be very good

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 29, 2024, 12:20:40 PMReasoned thoughts, Len. Remember that the book on Josh Allen was still undetermined until the Bills added Diggs.

Josh Allen was MVP material in his 3rd year, kinda hard to compare his book to Jones in year 6.

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 29, 2024, 11:47:37 AMI think Love was more of a leader than McKinney.  We always hear about McKinney's leadership, yet I have never witnessed any direct indication that McKinney was a true leader.

He wore a "C" so that must account for something

Quote from: Uncle Mickey on April 29, 2024, 10:35:58 AMIf Daniel is what we think or hope he is he will come in no different than last year. On a mission. I don't think it was for lack of effort it was just a historically bad OL that messed with his head. It derailed the entire season.

I know it's 5 years in and the fan base has justifiably lost patience. However, it doesn't change the fact that we all have mostly agreed that he has never had a good system to operate in. I think the issue is people look at that it's been 5 years and the talent has yet to convert to high level production. Now some just say he isn't a talented QB so even with better talent it won't make a difference. Well hopefully this is the year we finally find this out. Because if the OL is even average or the WR group is even average for that matter that will be about 5 levels above anything DJ has had to work with his entire career.     

He came in on a mission and blew up before take off. His 1 series vs Carolina (who was horrible) gave people false hope. Even though it was abundantly clear that we were inferior to a detriot team we practiced with in camp. People just ignored that detriot dominated us in practice because of the generic series in Carolina.

Same exact thing happened at the end of 2022, Jones played well vs a historically bad Vikings D that he had just seen while getting smashed by the eagles the following week and putting up embarrassing numbers but people seem to only remember the Vikings game.

Jerry Jones is loyal to his players to a fault.
I mean, it's good to be loyal but he doesn't know when to let them go.
I don't think has any value at this point, Jerry just wants him to retire as a Cowboy.
