One thing I don't have the slightest doubt of is that I will continue to struggle to spell his name correctly.   8))
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist.

I would add - become a true fan favorite by making his biggest plays on 3rd down as the Giants Stadium is shaking!

Agreed on that! That "game winning" sack he made on Zach Wilson last year was exactly that. Pass rushers are closers. It's why they're the highest paid non-QB in the game, and why I'm personally so fond of maintaining an elite rush. Most NFL games come down to the last possession. When you've got a late lead and the other team has to throw the ball, there's nothing like having a nasty pass rush to win the game. That's Giants football.

Conversely, if you don't have a pass rush, you will come up short in those situations, something we've seen far too often the last several years. Wink was great in those situations, but the Giants now have the front 4 to make them tough to come back on in the last 2 minutes. Without blitzing. Dexter is going to forklift your C backwards and you'll have Thibs and Burns screaming in off the edge. That's tough to deal with.
