Big Blue Huddle

Quote from: BluesCruz on Today at 09:30:24 AMSome things the Giants do are baffling to me. I hope with Saquon gone, and the upgrade of the WRs that we move to a more wide open unpredictable offense. Lets see where this goes

The offense will have the benefit of surprise to start the season and will be unpredictable until about mid-season, when there's enough film for opposing DCs to adjust.

Anticipating all the Barkley threads from the "I don't care" contingent     

Rich,

In your lawsuit, make sure you factor in enough funds to upgrade the website!   

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.

Quote from: sxdxca38 on May 19, 2024, 08:58:43 PMI appreciate very much what you have presented here, however, here is how I am seeing it.

I agree with you that not exercising his 5th year option was the wrong move.

However, giving him a new contract after the way he played in 2022 was definitely the right move.

The issue that I have was not the contract itself, but to me it was the size of the contract. If they were to have re-signed him in the range of around 30 million a year, then I think that is fair, but 40 million was too much.

As for your last statement, I would say it is yet to be determined, but this year we will all get our answer.

I appreciate your POV.

I agree that we will see this season if Jones is the guy or not.

I'm excited about him as well. Great story... a guy who's easy to root for.

Oh xxxx!!! So sorry that happened to you, Rich!!!   

Definitely keep us posted.

In other news, season ticket prices have increased to cover the cost of the mementos.

Maybe the Giants should have sweetened the pot by advertising "One Free Medium Pepsi" for every fan dressed in their very best 1920s garb. So, gentlemen, get out your fedora, top 🎩 and pocket watches. Ladies, get out your parasol, 👒  , girdle and Victorian-era dress so everyone, not just the Giants, will look 100 years out of place. Maybe the spirit of Jim Thorpe will enter the Giants' huddle and the magic from a century ago will fire a light under this team in the season to come.

Yes, folks, they had Pepsi in 1925.

Peace!

I feel like they've made the wrong decisions on Jones every time they had to make one. It's like the "which hand is it in?" game.

- Exercise his 5th year option? Nope, wrong answer.
- New $160 million contract with $92 guaranteed? Nope, wrong answer.
- He'll show he's worth the deal and can be a next-level QB? Nope, wrong answer.

We keep getting snake bit by the Ghosts of Gettleman.

Quote from: Ed Vette on May 16, 2024, 04:58:45 PMReally, why?

   

Ed, if the Giants win both games they wear these unis, I'm getting you one! 

Not me. Bad enough I have to watch them twice a year.

I like the helmets and jerseys.

The marketing department wasn't involved. 

He should have struck the pose in the logo. That would have been awesome.
