in Tokyo. Based on what we saw in blue, he's got a real shot.
Don't forget the good times

when he had no contact and didn't fumble.

That was so frustrating, and puzzling. He could, at times, show really nice hands pulling in tough catches. But, man oh man, was that the exception rather than the rule

I don't know why he wasn't used exclusively in that role. Split him wide to one side and Beckham to the other, and you're going to have your choice of a one on one mismatch at the goal line.

For a team that has been terrible running the football I don't know why they didn't take advantage of Donnell more at the goal line.

Same here, find a strength and keep him in that strength, don't ask him to do things that he's proven he's not capable of doing (well or consistently).

and I agree Mad Mike, Donnell was one of the most frustrating Giants players.

Also agree.
He gave it his best

the guy overcame or attempted to a severe neck injury which obviously impacted his play severely. I blame the Giants and Reese for investing so much in an undrafted TE who played the position for a few years. Frustrating to watch him but they monitored him in camp and knew the cards they were dealt.

don't let the door hit you on the way out -- it might send you tumbling ass-over-tea-kettle, make you drop the ball and get a concussion.

Exclusively red zone target.

How personal some of you guys take a poor performance by an athlete of the team you root for.

The OP here, BBI at it s worst.

Deeeeep breath, it's all in fun
I'm a Larry fan

He made plays, They came at a high cost, and I understand that good teams would move on without him.

But he made plays. And he made them from the TE position, which has been a huge need.

Anybody want to speculate what percent of the offenses decline in 2016 could be attributed to Larry's transition from asset to liability? I bet its alot more than is generally acknowledged.

Judging by the reactions on the Donnell threads, I'd say the people who are taking it personal are the ones defending Donnell. Are some of you related to him? Shit. All the OP did was post a GIF of what this particular player was basically known for throughout his career, his constant fuck ups. They outweighed anything positive he did. I think it's funny and he should be mocked for mistakes and aw, was someone a meanie on a message board to a pro football player making almost $2 million in one season to play a game? Yes, it was embarrassing Reese tried to bring him back, but the guy just was useless and stuck around too long. He was frustrating to watch. Be gone!

Route 9 : 2/14/2017 3:31 pm : link
Also why are we all saying it wasn't his fault and this "he gave it his best" nonsense? A lot of his mistakes were idiotic decisions he'd make after the catch, as a ball carrier. It doesn't take the greatest coaching in the world to tell you not to hurdle players and flip your body purposely the way he did. He just did stupid stuff on his own without the common sense lol

This is hardly BBI at its worst. Look at those threads started last night. Cough cough.

Yes, thank you for providing some truly entertaining flips and flops. I can only laugh about it now after the fact. Good thread to lance this wound.
