I could be into JJ, but with our 2nd pick. I did a little internet searching last week and he's a 2-3 Rounder.  But there's always a rush on QBs and someone flies up the board.  He seems like a likely candidate, just NOT at 6.

Wait or trade back into the first I guess.  I wouldn't feel bad about him being on the roster, not like it can be much worse.  He has more evidence on his side than Jones, so to me it's not the same thing at all.  Not saying he will be a better pro than DJ, but I like the idea more.

My gut feeling was Wink was the best coach we had on the team and this was a sign of further dysfunction.  This further reinforces that.  Giants won't be good again in my lifetime and I'm not even that old.  It's just so bad. 

Round 2 or preferably 3 yes, but not worth a reach in my opinion.  The way QBs go he will go earlier than he should, but I think it's a reach.

I'd like to have him on an upgraded roster next year though, sure.

I live in Buffalo and it's nasty out.  Today is supposed to be the worst day though.  My initial reaction was the same - they would have played the game in the past and the league has gotten soft.  I love watching the games in the snow. It's more the 60mph winds and the game would have been awful most likely.  There's a driving ban in effect too so the rationale was more likely due to spectators and drivers being safe; someone died outside the stadium this season being clipped by a car.

It kinda sucks, but 3 doubleheaders isn't bad by any means.

So if I'm understanding correctly, I can join for $5.99 a month, get 50% off that, and then cancel it after this game (or after one month). So I'll be paying $3 to watch this game basically.

I have two issues with this:

(1) The principle of it

(2) The hassle factor and dealing with all this crap when I just want to flip on the TV and watch a game.


I'm going to have to think about this, but I'm strongly leaning towards not doing it. I find the whole thing irritating and petty. I realize the trend is moving in the direction of cord-cutting and just going completely to streaming, but we're not completely there yet, and the NFL fanbase certainly isn't. I think it's lame.

1000%  Exactly how I feel.  It's xxxxxxxx.  Between this and officials deciding games I hate the NFL.  I live in Buffalo so stay into it because of Allen and The Bills being good after 2 decades of ineptitude.  But uh.  And the Peacock thing is 50% off for the year - on my screen right now.

It's wrong.  They're ransoming their MVP and should be ashamed of themselves.  How about not calling PI on an obvious early contact against Cleveland, but then they flag Cleveland for a phantom hold the next series.  That xxxx swings games, it's obvious.  It's like I watch despite them anymore.

There's out new DC. If Daboll flounders then turn it over to Bill. Fitting ending.

I would be on board with him taking over the defense but don't see him being an assistant to Daboll. Fun to think about though

Huh I think most Likely wink was the best coach on the staff but we Will see.

I don't know what would attract proven coaches here honestly. A young gun might want to prove himself but even that seems dicey with this organization.

My take is they were competitive with Tyrod and even looked good yesterday.  If he was younger with time on his side I would feel good starting him Opening Day - we'd have some new pieces, maybe a true WR1 and then go from there.  I just don't think his window matches our rebuild.

So I agree with the OP, while we need talent upgrades, good QB play goes a long, long way in today's league.  Too bad we're back with DJ next year and a worse defense most likely.

Yeah that was my take more or less from the little bit I saw.  Definitely not a Day 1 pick if I'm picking, but he did get them down the field with a nice 4th down TD to make it 10-17.  I will try to watch the entire second half.

I hope we didn't win our way out of a top WR as well.  This is an offense heavy draft so we're not getting a dominant defender and an OL at #6 isn't making this team better.

I will watch tonight's game and see if either McCarthy or Penix really impress.  We know these draft boards change a lot by April/May.  There's always some sliding up or down.  Maybe we can get a QB in Day 2 or else someone else climbs up high enough to be worth picking at #6.

You know that other thread about rating your confidence about The Giants future??  I am downgrading my "6" to a 3/4 now.

I could at least be proud of the defense at times this season. I guess if AP or Belichick came here then that would change things, but no way Belichick is Daboll's assistant.  It doesn't look good for Daboll in my opinion right now. With Jones the likely starter and Wink gone I expect 3-4 wins next year.

I guess a 6. Good QB play from Tyrod allowed us to compete against good teams. The defense plays well most weeks and we will have decent draft capital to work with.

We could be the next Houston IF we find a QB. I think we have to wait until 2025 though.

I think the point is that Taylor gives the team a chance to win and Barkley isn't all that. We have been in games with Taylor and probably could get more production from cheaper and younger RBs.

Now actually moving on from them in such a fashion is not reality, but I agree this team's roster is not as far as some seem to think. I always felt Jones was just that bad

We need to keep Tyrod if we don't draft a guy. We have been in every game with him.

QB is by far our biggest need, getting quality play there changes the entire team, not a mystery

We have talent, we're not a playoff team yet.  Yesterday gives me some hope that with the right QB we will be in the mix again.  In the meantime our draft position is still strong.
