Big Blue Huddle / Re: I wouldn't count Daniel Jones out, his obituary was written before
Today at 11:55:13 AM
The haters-you know who y'are- gonna hate. Baiters gonna 'bate. Whereas, a true Giants fan will wish Daniel Jones good health, and everyone on the on the team and in the organization, success in the coming season.

In any case, we all know the very particular ifs, ands, and buts which are most likely to influence the eventual outcomes and decisions in due course, and sans our assistance.

Cheers!

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 29, 2024, 10:59:37 AMMatt,

The two beat-writers I cited both post what the team wishes to be posted.  While there were plenty of insiders reporting the Giants tried to trade up to the third pick to draft Maye, it was still pretty much rumor.  With these two reports, I think it's fair to move it from rumor (with a strong possibility of being true) to now given fact. 

To your question, I wouldn't say "need" but I would say, "it can't hurt"

Neither can it help, so why bother with such overweening nonsense which serves no purpose for anyone other than for the supposed special purpose messenger. Can't we do better than waste time with such stuff even if time wasting is about all we can do presently?

Cheers!

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Giants Running game
April 29, 2024, 11:24:34 AM
For all that Barkley did or did not contribute to the Offense, in his 74 of 96 game, 6-year tenure, the Giants had a 32-63-1 W/L with just one winning season. Moreover, they actually had a somewhat better record in their previous 6 seasons.

Thus, whatever we my think of the current RB Roster/ Depth Chart and so begin to make assumptions and projections, the previous standards, goals, and accomplishments are hardly of a daunting nature. That's something to keep in mind. 

Cheers!

Overweening nonsense. Everyone has an opinion- with media it's always self-servicing- nor are fans short of advice and counsel, none of which matters diddlysquat to anyone on the roster or staff.

Cheers!

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Taking an early temperature on people's thoughts for this season
April 28, 2024, 12:10:04 PM
I have been posting in BBH, and before it on BBWC, for a very long time and have learned that no matter the circumstances a good fan roots, not hoots, toots, or boots. Should you wonder why, you are either a newbie, or you haven't been paying attention. In any case, we all should know that the purpose of the guessing games are to?  <:-P

Cheers!

Nubin was an excellent pick; probably the best and most versatile Safety in the Draft. Phillips is another Grade A pick at CB either inside or outside. 3 picks, 3 A grades. Well Done!

Cheers!

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Pat McAfee's 5th Annual Draft Spectacular with Bill Belichick
April 26, 2024, 02:20:00 PM
Quote from: UKGiantsFan on April 26, 2024, 12:30:16 AMPeople that think Belichik is glib and short in the personality department really gonna need a re-think.

Yes, indeed. I certainly had a "Who is that guy?" reaction, Ceri.

Cheers!

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Where does this leave Slayton?
April 26, 2024, 01:48:01 PM
Never mind the speculation about where Nabers will line up. He will play wherever he best suits the  Giants Offense as was the case with OBJ who began play as a Y- with some Slot- and later became a mainstay at the X-.

While the addition of a talent like Nabers to the Giants usual 6-man Receiver Corps including Hyatt, Hodgins, and Robinson was absolutely essential, it leaves a lot of room for them to keep Slayton this year as long as he's willing. Other than Boykin and/ or a punt returner type, it's not obvious who among the preseason roster would be more useful/valuable.

Cheers!

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Would you trade 47 and Slayton for 34
April 26, 2024, 12:56:15 PM
I would, although it's really not up to the Giants but to the Pats who would have to think Slayton is worth nothing less than 3rd Round value, and otherwise see him and the Giants 47 as worth as much or more than a Left Tackle to help protect Drake Maye while they might then use their next pick for a WR.

Cheers!

Big Blue Huddle / Re: When can we expect Nabers to emerge?
April 26, 2024, 12:17:23 PM
Just as quickly as OBJ, Jefferson and Chase.

Cheers!

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Giants fans should be waking up happy this morning
April 26, 2024, 10:37:27 AM
One thing is for sure, B&Ming and whining after the fact helps no one. And if before the fact, it does little more than to sustain out-of-touch thinking. Nabers was the Giants consensus Mock Draft choice day after day from the start of the silly season through last night. Indeed, "waking up", wishing well, and rooting is what we all should be doing.

Cheers!

Big Blue Huddle / Re: Will DJ Be Better With Nabers?
April 26, 2024, 10:12:17 AM
While there is nada to be gained by guessing, if DJ stays healthy and the Oline does a much better job in protection, Nabers should make the Receiving corps much better, indeed topnotch. With 6 QBs taken in the first 12, if that wasn't always the plan, tell me what was?

Unless DJ proves to be no worse than at least half of those new guys that is, have a playoff game winning season- or whatever we decide is so- the Giants will exchange him for the money saved and start over. That is the never in doubt harsh reality of it.

Cheers!

Big Blue Huddle / Re: The Giants draft WR Malik Nabers round one
April 25, 2024, 09:10:35 PM
Great addition, a must have. And the Giants Mock Draft consensus pick all year since Day One. So, no surprise; none at all. Now, they need to hit big on at least more 3 guys for it to become a real success.

Cheers!

No more than folks here, including moi, think that about Daniel Jones. And I'm not as sure about DJ.  =))

Cheers!
