Quote from: LennG on April 29, 2024, 12:19:28 PMThree people to replace one, really doesn't seem like a good deal to me. Barkley did it all and now we have 3 others to replace him.

I would argue he did not do it all. For instance:

1. He was not a good blocker

2. He had trouble picking up the 1st down in short yardage situations

3. He had a lot of dropped passes

4. Many games were actually mediocre less that one monster gain

Quote from: PSUBeirut on April 29, 2024, 12:32:09 PMRB by committee is a myth in the NFL, by the way.  Rarely do RBs come close to splitting carries- there is always a bellcow.  I'm assuming Montgomery will be ours and we'll see where the other dudes fill in sporadically.

Assume you mean Singletary?

A few more of those 'truisms'


When I lost two fingers on my right hand in a freak accident, I asked the doctor if I'd still be able to write with it.  He said, "Possibly, but I wouldn't count on it."

I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right, and exercise daily.  But that was five hours ago when I was younger and full of hope.

Anyone who says their wedding was the best day of their life has clearly never had two candy bars come out at once from a vending machine.

We live in a time where intelligent people are silenced so that stupid people won't be offended.

The biggest joke on humans is that computers have begun asking us to prove we aren't robots.

Quote from: LennG on April 29, 2024, 12:23:38 PMMark Bavaro is my second all-time favorite Giant. What I see in this video is something that was a staple in the Giants' offense for all the years Simms and Bavaro were there, that deep seam pass up the middle and it always seemed to have worked. I have been crying, begging, and shouting as to why the Giants don't use that play today.

The problem with an all-in-one RB is what happens when they get hurt (which Barkley did frequently).

Quote from: LennG on April 29, 2024, 12:16:05 PMI was going to start another thread on a thought I had, but let's run it hear.

Many people have said and it is true, that Eli started out very poorly also. Thinking, about what really helped Eli become a much better QB, Plax and his ability to catch all the misguided passes that Eli threw to him. I'm sure there were many, but mostly I remember Plax using all his 6'whatever frame and arms to haul in many passes that were overthrown, underthrown, etc. Could Nabers be the Palx for Jones?
Most know and I won't deny it, I would like anyone other than Jones to be our QB, but he is our QB and I would never root for him to fail. If Nabers can do for Jones what Palx did for Eli, maybe there is hope out there.

Reasoned thoughts, Len. Remember that the book on Josh Allen was still undetermined until the Bills added Diggs.
