Big Blue Huddle

Don't think we tried to get Maye.

NE needed a QB badly, no one contests this.

It would take a franchise altering haul to get them off Maye.

Maye was not getting to 4.

NE made the pick with 5 Minutes left on the clock.

The only media plant by NY that makes sense is this interest in a QB.

We drafted a WR

I was one those that vote that am excited.

I'm a fan, short for fanatic, right?

Why wouldn't I be excited?

I know it has been 10 years of bad.

With Schoen and Daboll, I believe we have the team in place to fix that.  We had a terrible roster when they took over that did not seem to have an identity.  I see the vision and love it.  They want playmakers.  This is a very QB friendly offense.  We have not seen the best of Robinson and Nabers better in every way.  Hyatt forces you cover the boundaries deep and Johnso is going to look great running the seam(Deadly)

I wanted McCarthy at 6 because I think Jones is an injury risk.  I think Jones can execute this offense well if he remains healthy and we protect him.  Big plays in 2024. 

I did not get my way on draft day.

Still excited, great draft.

Still don't care much about the stats. I am interested in wins, don't care what those wins look like.  Special teams driven would be fine.  Win more than you lose. Yay me. 

Look at ELi, Tua and Allen.  The year before they got the receiver, the year after. I believe Nabers is a better prospect than Diggs, Waddle or OBJ were.  I think he is actually a better fit for the system. He is like an ELITE RB with the ball in his hands. 

I think the trade up for Maye was always diversion. NE needed QB, therefore needed to be blown away.  We absolutely knew that and CHOSE not to blow them away.  Again, did we REALLY try to trade up or were we trying to get Minnesota to take a QB ahead of us?

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 30, 2024, 09:41:40 PMThis is a very inaccurate framing of the sides and the issues.  Based on this very thread, here is a proper description of the "sides."- On the one hand, you have people who are saying not to write Jones off just yet.  They are not saying he will, but they are not ruling out the possibility that he will be successful again like he was in 2022.   On the other side, you have people who are so certain of their assessments that Jones is a terrible or "middling" QB that they insist there is no possibility Jones can have another successful season, despite the, at least on paper, improvement of his support.

I think this is fair.  I wanted McCarthy at 6.  I feel Jones is an injury risk, yet, I have not seen the actual medicals and have not been present for his recovery.  From an above orbit, risk management standpoint, having Jones replacement on hand seemed valid. That said, in this offense in particular, Jones can succeed.  He can throw short passes to playmakers. The best Jones has had is crappy playmakers in a system designed to have them.  Daboll/Kafka system doesn't work without YAC.  I want to see the kid with an average OL and some playmakers.  I think his body ends up betraying him.  If Jones is healthy he will look good in this system I suspect with these playmakers.

Nabers is a beast, a true number 1 changes everything.

Is what it is.

The team knows what plays were called.

They know if he can read a defense.

6 Qbs other teams thought worthy of a first round were drafted after the Giants picked.

It was reported we tried to trade for Maye.

Did we?

Everyone knew NE needed a QB and would need to be blown away, we didn't blow them away.(think about it)

Draft was great and we get to watch some exciting player.

BTW I wanted McCarthy at 6, I don't trust Jones to stay healthy and believe JJ will be the best QB drafted this year.

Is what it is.

George. By all means use it if you want.  August Bday too.
