Big Blue Huddle

My preference for football podcasts is to listen to those not in the Giants bubble. I find their objectivety refreshing as it pertains to Giants moves and analysis.

Just watched his Youtube video about it. Pretty shameful what Jomboy Media offered him. It seems like immediate financial support via Patreon is important to see if he can viably support his family with this approach. I'll be supporting him and hope it works out.

What I gather from the chart is the RB position is a young man's game.

QB and ST can be long in the tooth and still be productive.

Overall football is for the most part a young man's game.

DL and the overall team would be even younger but Nunez Roches weighs down the line.

Wasn't this an absolute disaster in the preseason and took longer than traditional measuring? Let's hope they get the kinks out before the season starts.

Sorry, I misread your post.  I thought you were talking about Bobby.

While I have absolutely no designs on them going anywhere if they get in (which is far from certain), hockey is not like the NBA where the low-seeded teams have basically zero shot.

As far as making the playoff goes, while this team has been a total disappointment, I'm not convinced there any worse or less deserving than the Canadiens or Blue Jackets, myself.

I will continue to pull for them until it's over. I've been a fan since the mid 80s. I'm not going to stop now.

Yeah, it's a big ask but the Jackets or Montreal have been unable to pull away.

If they can win six of the last eight - huge ask - I think that's enough.

I agree Ed. I think signing two veterans points towards them not taking a QB in the high first round.

Same with their actions in the recent past. If you're in love with Shedeur and know you have a pretty good chance of getting him, why make a huge effort to trade for Matt Stafford and then subsequently put in a significant effort to get Rodgers? Both looked like bona fide attempts. If you're dead set on Shedeur being the guy, I just don't see how you do either, and I frankly don't even see why you'd sign two veterans. Would the plan be to carry three QBs on the roster? I doubt that. I realize they could just cut Winston but it all doesn't really add up for me.

I expect them to take a defensive player third overall, and I'm totally good with that.

That said, I would be willing to give up a good deal to take Ward (if Schoen and Daboll believe in him).  The team would have Ward on a cheap deal for 3 or 4 years, and free agency can help fill the holes those lost picks would create.

If we're patient we can have our cake and eat it too. I think between Wilson and Winston they can push drafting a quarterback for another year. The hidden benefit of that is it gives the Giants one last chance to evaluate Daboll before letting him pick the franchise quarterback. If he gets fired after this year there is no guarantee the new coach will value Ward similarly.
