Again, just so nobody gets upset, that is not to say Barkley isn't awesome. I just think the decision was poor given the team's circumstances at the time.

This. Passing on two Hall of Fame quarterbacks for a running back. I won't even mention that they could have drafted Allen or Jackson and Nick Chubb. Instead they got Barkley, Hernandez and a nightmare at quarterback for the last six years.

Excellent point. We make it out like because he coached Eli that means he has mythical, Bill Walsh type status and deserves that type of reverence. Silly.

David Cutcliffe strongly endorsed Daniel Jones. That tells you all you need to know.

Cutcliffe is the same person that coached both Peyton and eli when they were in college that's why people had stock in his qbs.

If I picked a second one, it would be not doing the Hyatt trade. Could have gotten Achane and Puka with those picks we traded. Achane with Tracy would make the Barkley pill ALOTTTT easier to swallow, while Puka/Nabers would be ridiculous together.

Wow. What an extensive list it would be. Let's go with a 20/20 hindsight: 2018 NFL Draft, selecting Saquon Barkley #2 overall instead of Josh Allen.

Firing Coughlin and drafting Jones. Both set us back a decade

So Cutcliffe hasn't developed any significant NFL players since 2003. What a guru!  :ok:
