Anyone know anything about him?

In the end he will lose money watch

My thing was Barkley was that he clearly did not meet the hype/expectations of his draft position

But I still believed he could be a major piece to a franchise , but he's not the top guy so I don't blame Schoen for not overpaying him

I also liked Barkley as a person.. which yes its stupid but it did play a factor in me wanting to keep him..... but he went to the Eagles and went full heel mode. He got his money and now he is a d***. He used his daughter to take a dig at the Giants , whether she said that or not it does not matter. But he chose to bring that up for no reason after supposedly finally thanking Giants fans. The dude is the one who really cant let it go.

I know Barkley got his little 2-3 mil extra guaranteed but let me put it this way.

Where do we actually think he has a better chance of FINISHING his contract and getting ALL his money ?

You think the Eagles who already had a top 10 rushing attack before Barkley ...and being simply the Eagles have more loyalty on Barkley on a 3 year contract over the Giants who are overwhelmingly TOO loyal to players ?

If the Eagles fail to win a SuperBowl in a year or 2... or even somehow miss the playoffs and Barkley is still missing 4 games , playing 4 injured and just churning out 950 yards rushing the Eagles most likely will want some kind of a reset and Barkley will be the LEAST important key to their success. He is going to get the BOOT. Not Hurts, not the O-line, Not the Receivers . The runningback Barkley will be the cut casualty

He wants to keep throwing out narratives that the Giants did not offer him a contract which is a LIE then go ahead and do that. But it is very possible that in 3 years time he actually LOST 10+ mil not actually gained 2-3 mil

I hope you fumble the ball against us just like you fumbled the bag.

From the chart we definitely need another space-eating DT and a #1 WR- preferably someone with some height it seems.  And of course, the G positions can always use another young body and a scatback type RB would likely be another good add.

Yea I remember Hawkins being all the talk in the offseason... even got the starting spot which moved Adoree to Slot (Which was not a good results IMO )

But he eventually lost his starting spot and playing time dramatically.. was it due to performance or an injury I don't remember

I want a WR1 aka drafting one at #6 not hoping second round draft pick becomes one

Obviously unless one of the top 3 QBs drop to us NOT named McCarthy

Also want a huge run stuffing DT next to Dexter

As well as a starting CB opposite Banks.... still hoping we sign one

So my needs/wants are WR1->DT->CB2

QB is the obvious but only depends on who is at 6....... And I don't agree with giving up the farm for a 50/50 shot or drafting McCarthy

Quote from: Ed Vette on March 21, 2024, 08:21:30 AMI have to agree.

https://giantswire.usatoday.com/2024/03/19/new-york-giants-great-carl-banks-calls-for-end-personal-attacks-against-saquon-barkley?

I agree , but saquon himself keeps throwing little jabs at the giants

He's obviously more hurt then he lets out and he's becoming the opposite of what he was here in the tri-state ... he's now acting like a di**

The lack of respect from Waller is getting annoying right now

Considering our signings and Neal still on the team I don't see him starting anywhere

But he would be a good plug and play for a game or 2 if injuries happen ..... could instantly line up anywhere on the line anywhere but center

Would love Pugh back

Reading in between the lines

Schoen make the call ... pair him next to Sexy Dexy

Quote from: EliWasrobbed on March 14, 2024, 09:17:35 PMhave we not just seen what CJ stroud did with a poor OLine and mediocre WRs?

We get our franchise guy it doesn't matter who are WRs are

Yea I think we need to stop comparing our situation to others at this point

Brady is obviously the GOAT

But Brady is also probably last great QB who will have literally zero mobility

He would have gotten destroyed with this O-line ..... Mahomes yea would probably make it work ..... every situation has multiple and different factors

I'm not saying Jones doesn't exhibit tunnel vision or lock on receivers

But I'm not also going to act like we have WRs who can consistently get open .... Because we don't

This is exactly why I want a bonafide #1 WR unless one of the top 3 QBs drop

And McCarthy is NOT one of them

Quote from: MightyGiants on March 13, 2024, 09:54:16 AMWe signed free agent O-line and RB which will offset some of those comp picks

Does actual contract numbers factor into that though ? If that's the case ...excluding the trade we still lost more than we gained by a lot

Even Ashawn got a hefty contract

Quote from: MightyGiants on March 13, 2024, 09:37:36 AMThe Giants could have signed Josh Allen for that sort of money and kept their draft picks

Yea but you mentioned draft capital as being important

Yes we gave up and 2nd and a 5th

But because we traded for him ... it does not affect the comp pick situation we got with X and Barkley leaving.... Ashawn as well too I believe

So by next years draft it can look like we In essence traded

a 2&5 for Burns and two 3rds and possibly another for Ashawn

This trade can end up being on Genius levels

Quote from: MightyGiants on March 13, 2024, 09:47:04 AMThat was one of the advantages of moving on from Barkley.  The work horse RB is an antiquated concept in today's NFL.  A pair of RBs provides the same production while providing protection from the inevitable injury issues.

This is true, especially when your workhorse is often injured you feel the drop off in a major way when he does not play
