Big Blue Huddle

It wouldn't be Derby week without one of your great clips on this, and other amazing horses and races.

Thanks, it was a tremendous race.

              

Quote from: katkavage on Today at 01:23:53 PMThank you, Pete Rozelle. He bestowed upon the Giants, whether they liked it or not, George Young. Appointed by Rozelle to save the floundering franchise. Given autonomy, Young put in process a plan. It delivered. And from Young and his doings the Giants got Accorsi. Now John Mara is left to his own devices. So far, not so good. But I'm happy that I experienced those Super Bowl wins.

That is correct Kat, but in those days, when Wellington was the boss, our GM, Mr. Young, was lord and master over everything. To the best of my memory, Wellington never meddled into anything Giants business. Young did as he pleased, hired, fired, drafted and if he needed to run it by Wellington, which I doubt, it was just a sign-off. We used to say the BM of the Giants was a job for life unless they wanted to step down. I believe Accorias had similar power, It wasn't until Wellington passed and John took over, that the meddling started. Now our GM is more of a figurehead if he ahs to get John to sign off on everything.

Truly one of the better players on some pretty bad teams.

May he RIP

 I don't think it is even close. The QB is the guy who handles the ball on every single play. The WR may get 10 touches all game. The QB can function with a decent WR and make several others look a lot better than they really are. A great WR can't make an average QB look great.

The QB is the leader of any team, not the WR. PERIOD

If we don't finish last we'll be third. That is our realistic ceiling.

It's not even entirely clear to me why he should start at RT in week one over Eleumenor. You have two players who have played RT in this league. One has always been terrible. The other played at a solid level last year. Why would you go with the first guy in that situation?

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on May 02, 2024, 08:29:59 PMIf it were my decision, my leash for neal would be not much more than one game. The guy has had two years, and he's been awful the whole way. Enough. If he's not good at right tackle right away, he should be out. Elumenor did a totally solid job at that position on a bad team with a bad QB for our current new O line coach.

Enough with the kid gloves on Neal. The guy sucks, and he was a dick to the fans. One shot and he's out. He should probably already be out.

Short leash for Neal for sure. I haven't seen any signs of improvement.

Also brady had amazing defenses the first 3 superbowls
Look.at.mahomes now
He only has to.score 21 to 24 ptd cause the defense hold the other team to.less than 20
How many QB makes the WR 
How many QBs  playing now do you think makes the WR special ?
I would say less than 5 if that many

Quote from: Philosophers on Today at 01:11:15 PMJMS can't have an Evan Neal tyoe secind year regression from what was already substandard.

I agree on JMS. Especially considering he is quite old for a second year NFL player.

An Irishman was drinking in a bar in London when he gets a call on his cell
phone. He orders drinks for everybody in the bar as he announces his wife
has just produced a typical Irish baby boy weighing 25 pounds.
Nobody can believe that any new baby can weigh in at 25 pounds, but the man
just shrugs, "That's about average up our way, folks...like I said – my
boy's a typical County Clare baby boy.."
Two weeks later the man returns to the bar.. The bartender says, "Say,
you're the father of that typical Irish baby that weighed 25 pounds at
birth, aren't you? Everybody's been making' bets about how big he'd be in
two weeks ...how much does he weigh now?"
The proud father answers, "Seventeen pounds."
The bartender is puzzled and concerned. "What happened?" "He was 25 pounds
the day he was born."
The father takes a slow swig of his Jameson Irish Whisky, wipes his lips on
his shirt sleeve, leans into the bartender and proudly says,
"Had him circumcised."
