Quote from: kartanoman on December 29, 2024, 04:39:45 PMPerhaps, Rich @MightyGiants , but if they stay at #3, they're still going to get a quality player and , possibly, one of the two QBs (NOTE: if you're enamored enough to draft one of them). If the QBs are gone, then Hunter is there, Banks Jr. is there, and really the entire draft board is available for the picking. The only thing they really lose is the potential to gain draft capital for 2026 with the option to move out of the #1.

Personally, I was never in favor of the two QBs in the first place so, if their winning today takes them out of the discussion, then that's fine by me.

Fix the damned offensive line first. Then, go find yourself a quarterback that you can protect.

I'm sure there will be plenty of fretting leading into the Iggles game. I was mistaken about today, and I may be mistaken about next week, but the Iggles will be foolish to blow off next week's game and think they can just turn it on in the post-season like a light switch. What they did to Dallas today is what they should do to the Giants in the first half next week.

Peace!

And if they had lost they would have had their pick of the litter. It's just typical Giants bull$hit. Be bad enough to suck the soul out of their fan base but win a meaningless game or two and miss out on the truly elite player.

I just typed the exact sentiment, Jess.

Hunter is off the board.

Still plenty of other talent there.

Bob Papa was on the post game saying that Giants fans rooting for losses are a vocal minority and need to stuff it. And he's happy for people who got to go today and see a win that paid 25 cents on the dollar for tickets and their kids got to see a win and maybe hooked them on football and the Giants.

So, that I've had tickets in my family for 50 years and supported this franchise through many horrible years..  that's not important but getting cheap tickets is?  And the Giants fans that realize the benefit of a high draft pick to either get a QB or accept a package of picks to trade down and help the rebuild... that's wrong and we need to stuff it?

And for all that celebrate the Giants "fight" today... where was that the last ten weeks?

So frustrated being a Giants fan and this must feel like the 70's (I was a bit too young to remember).

I don't see Sanders or Ward as the answer. They would likely be an improvement but not some franchise savior we need.

I am fine taking BPA, as it should be and going with a vet QB next year. Then do what it takes to get your QB in 2026 if next year is bad

Giants won't break a tie against anyone with that SOS. Pick 8-9, here we come!

That's my expectation.  The Giants beat the Philly backups, and there they are.  I don't know why people are saying they are happy with picking 3rd, as that's not likely to happen.

I'd rather pick 8th, than pick another backup qb with a high pick.

Quote from: katkavage on December 29, 2024, 04:43:27 PMWho's playing QB?

Hopefully not anyone from the very weak class of 2025.

Exactly

I honestly am not a huge fan of either QB. Especially after Ward gave up on his team yesterday.  That tells me something.  And Sanders sounds like a pompous ass like his dad.  But I did want the option to evaluate them or to trade down. To get more picks and do something positive.  New England has been bad a couple years and now have their QB and will likely be able to parlay this season into trading down and accelerating their rebuild.  They rebuilt like a team should... great for 20 years, rebuild a couple,  now on the way up.  And the Giants?  Stuck in neutral still because the players played so hard today and ignored playing for the previous ten weeks.

This franchise literally has a stench on it and needs to fight out of this but aren't in any position to do so.  Everything is going wrong for a decade... bad coaches,  bad GMs, bad owner.  Injuries.  Losses galore, except "big" wins when they aren't needed.  This is what happens to bad franchises.  No skill,  no good luck.  Everything is bad.

Still no answer. The reality is they will be bad next year with a QB from this year or not. And on and on it goes.

Good - We will need another bad  year to secure a QB in 2026; this isn't a 1-year fix, but I firmly believe we're starting to collect the core ingredients to be competitive.
