From Simms to Eli (with an assist from Hoss) our Super Bowl Quarterbacks. Great defense and clutch QB performances...NY Giants Championship football.

I have an old profile still floating around: andrew_nyg....I am one and the same!

McAdoo wanted Mahomes

Shurmur wanted Allen

Daboll had Allen in Buffalo, and wanted Jayden Daniels.

We have been looking in the right places apparantly, just hasn't been meant to be.

Easy to say now, but Buffalo moving up to 7 to get him was seen as a gamble at the time. He had some serious accuracy issues in college.

And of course there's no guarantee he plays they same if he comes here.

Ed Vette

His Offense at Colorado is putrid. He doesn't get an opinion..
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."
~ Coach Tom Coughlin

So what? Was there ever the slightest doubt that Gettleman was going to take the Gold Jacket Hall of Fame Running Back Whatisname? So, while he is now up in the Cape, no doubt gloating about it, are we supposed to be mewling over the fact that he waited for another year to screw the pooch at QB? Moreover, why would we need Shurmur's after-the-fact info when Ed Vette had already told us that they would, or at least should, take Josh Allen with their No.2 overall in 2018?

The only possible reason for talking about it now is because 7 years later, we still don't have a Quarterback.

Cheers!

A day late and several million dollars short.

I said the same thing.  If they were going QB, wanted Allen.  If not, wanted Nelson.  I also remember hoping the Browns took Barkley at 1 knowing they could still get a QB at 4.

I'd love if Allen was the pick...but that's looking at what Allen has become during his time in Buffalo.  Do you really think he'd be the same QB if the Giants drafted him?  Would we have corrected his flaws like Buffalo did or would we have magnified them?  Sadly, i think the latter   :'(

I agree 100%, they not only have sucked, but they have also sucked at sucking, which is even worse.

But hey at least they're building a winning culture by beating up the Colts in December or a ridiculous 3 game Tommy Devito linsanity run!  Think of the value in that!   /sarcasm/

Effing Gettleman.  and Effing Mara.   ~X(
