Big Blue Huddle / Re: For those who want a house...

Quote from: andrew_nyGiants on December 02, 2024, 06:47:05 PMWhat we the fans need is for Mara to humble himself and literally ask for help.

Andrew,

Mara did ask for help in 2018. He asked Ernie Accorsi of (trade for Eli and make Archie happy fame) for help in finding him a worthy successor to Jerry Reese who had run out of his earlier Super Bowl winning success. The result was Dave Gettleman.

Some might view the choice of Gettleman as little more than a sham which allowed Mara to return to the family's habit of nepo-cronyism in the pre-George Young era. And speaking of eras, Young's was a long one consisting of his 19 years, Accorsi, 9 and Reese's 10 during which the Giants made 15 Playoff appearances, won 4 of 5 Super Bowls, and had an overall winning record.

Contrast that with Gettleman's 4 years of failure which helped create the "Jones trap" which has plagued the decidedly non-crony Schoen/Daboll in what so far has been admittedly two lousy seasons with higher hopes and brighter prospects for the future.

Inappropriate and way too soon to talk of house cleaning.

Cheers!

Quote from: kingm56 on Today at 11:26:29 AMA limited number of professional coaching positions exisit, making each one highly sought after. However, your position seems to suggest that coaching roles in New York have a distinct monetary advantage over positions in other locations, a claim that is factually inaccurate. In reality, New York is at a clear disadvantage compared to states with lower or no income tax burden. To illustrate this, consider the following practical example: Suppose you are presented with a choice between a coaching position in New York and one in Dallas, Texas, with both teams offering a salary of $1 million per season. Let us examine the financial implications of this scenario:

Dallas:
   Salary: $1,000,000
   Federal Taxes: ~$310,000
   State Taxes: $0 (no state income tax)
   Effective Taxable Income: $690,000
Cost of living in Dallas is much lower, especially for housing. Assuming a reasonable living standard with expenses for housing, transportation, food, and other essentials, you may spend around $150,000 - $250,000 per year for a high standard of living, depending on lifestyle. This leaves a disposable income of $440,000 - $540,000.

New York City:
   Salary: $1,000,000
   Federal Taxes: ~$310,000
   State Taxes: ~$69,000
   Local Taxes: ~$35,000
   Total Taxes: ~$414,000
Effective Taxable Income: $586,000
Cost of living in NYC/NJ is significantly higher. A comfortable lifestyle, factoring in rent, transportation, food, and discretionary spending, could easily cost $250,000 - $400,000 annually, depending on where you live (Manhattan vs. outer boroughs). This leaves a disposable income of $186,000 - $336,000.

Dallas disposable income = $440,000 - $540,000.
NYC disposable income = $186,000 - $336,000.

What job would you select?

When considering marketing opportunities, it is important to recognize that such opportunities for coaches are relatively limited, especially when compared to other professions or high-profile roles. Furthermore, the nature of local marketing has undergone significant transformation over the past decade. What was once largely confined to regional or city-specific platforms has evolved in the context of a global economy. Today, marketing strategies and opportunities are no longer restricted to traditional, geographically-bound outlets; rather, they are increasingly influenced by digital media, social platforms, and global brand affiliations. Coaches, like many professionals, are now part of a broader, interconnected global marketplace, where visibility and influence are shaped not only by local fan bases but also by international audiences and digital content consumption patterns. This shift has drastically changed the way in which marketing is approached, and the opportunities available are no longer as dependent on proximity or location-specific factors.  Josh Allen, who plays in a tiny market, "is among the NFL's top paid players in terms of endorsement deals, having made $12 million in 2024, according to Sportico."  Players and coaching marketing opportunities are no longer tied to their locations; they haven't been for over a decade...

You are forgetting about the jock tax.  Secondly, signing and roster bonuses are taxed differently.  These guys also have accountants and money guys who know how to save them serious money on taxes.

I forgot about that it was so long ago. Fresher in my mind are opening game routs in 2023 and 24, and not winning or scoring any touchdowns at home, and getting into a pissing match with you DC and hiring an even worse one, and letting a rookie WR who has accomplished nothing throw you under the bus and and on and on. The list to not retain far outweighs the one to keep him.  If you want him back be prepared for rinse and repeat next year at this time.  >:( 2  :doh: And another year will be wasted.

The Giants have the worst offense in the NFL and it's not getting better. 

As for the Saints game, the Giants have one of the leagues worst run defenses and just lost Dexter Lawrence.  Alvin Kamarra is licking his chops. 

The Saints are still playing hard and are in a division they could still win theoretically. 

The Giants are mailing it in and completely out of it.

I agree. With both Tackles out, Daboll called a lot of long routes. He needs to go back to Shallow Mesh and Shallow Crossers with a Flat route or check down, and reads on one side with an opposite field screen. He also should give Lock or Tommy some Zone Reads that he gave Jones. And some high/low options. The opportunities for deep strikes should come off Play Action after establishing a Run Game. If they can't run the ball, the QB will be blitzed to death.

I doubt the Giants are trading out of the #1 slot if they have it.

Bottom line is talent has to be replaced if it leaves the building for whatever reason.  This organization has not been good at that for quite some time now.  Teams cannot keep everyone but letting them walk and then drafting/signing inferior players brings the team to.......its current state
