Last offseason the Lions dominated us in joint practices and I remember the story being oh well Dan Campbell is an intense guy so the Lions probably practice hard-core and go all out being at home.
Then 1 series in Carolina with 4 vanilla Waller catches later and we are the greatest show on turf.
So wild to see the narrative run wild because 90% of the beat writers thought the offense was going to be great after that carolina game.
Quote from: y_so_blu on May 18, 2024, 09:05:32 PMThe prices make absolutely no sense. The design isn't even that special or interesting. No Giants logo even.I wonder what genius is behind this?
You could buy a generic custom t-shirt with "1925" on it for what, $20?
Quote from: Jclayton92 on May 18, 2024, 09:09:33 PMI just spoke about this in another thread. I hope we practice with all 3 teams. Those practices will be the biggest tell as to were this team is currently. Not any of the otas, training camp, or preseason games.Have they ever done that?
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on May 18, 2024, 05:51:54 PMIn week one, yes, 100%. In week eight or later, probably but not automatically.He has the Receivers, whether he has the Oline or not, its not his fault. According to almost everyone here besides us. So, unless he's not healthy, why would they pull him? To keep him healthy so they don't have to pay an injury clause? Admit they were wrong about him and not drafting a QB?
You can have controversy about the QB position even if you don't want it. Fans and media members can effectively cause it. The same way they can get coaches fired. I'm not saying this will happen this year by the way. Just that it's not impossible.
Also having no bad vibes or controversy about the team in the centennial anniversary year is basically impossible if they're a bottom seven or eight team again. Having no QB controversy in a big anniversary season is nice and all, but who cares about any of that if the team is on its way to another 4 to 7 win season?
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on May 18, 2024, 05:35:46 PMI don't believe that they would have passed on JJ if they thought he was the perfect fit. I know that you did not quite say that, but that is my view in any case. If that were really true, first off Mara would not have publicly said that he was open to drafting a QB in the first round, and they also would not have been all but confirmed by respected league insider types to have been trying to trade up with the Pats. There has also been a fair amount of smoke about Lock potentially getting a crack at the job at some point, so they may end up with a QB controversy on their hands anyway.If Jones is ready and healthy, he's the QB. No controversy.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on May 18, 2024, 02:07:24 PMWhile there are probably some individuals who feel this way, I believe it is a real minority. In my experience, most Giants fans, including ones who think highly of Jones as a starting NFL QB and ones who don't, didn't want the Giants to take the fourth QB off the board sixth overall. Particularly once it was clear their front office didn't think highly enough of McCarthy as a prospect to do so. If anything, people are probably angrier that that they didn't end up with a top three pick despite being so clearly terrible last season.It took me months to properly evaluate JJ instead of just the drive up the board hype that some folks here got on board with. He was the perfect fit but they didn't want a QB controversy on the cusp of their 100 year Anniversary.
