......"for finally signing one of his first round draft picks to a multi-year contract. It has only taken a decade to get this monkey off his back....."".
If you want to issue a condemning statement you're obligated to be specific....what first round picks do you think he should have resigned?
Otherwise you're a cheap shot artist.
funny to see that stat thrown around about Reese today, very fair to bitch and moan about his lack of production from mid to late round picks over his tenure, but first round picks, he has knocked out of the ballpark. Add in that he's generally pick in the back half of the first round, and its even more impressive.
"He's one of our best players and one of our leaders". They' are paying him that way, not just for sack numbers. I'm good with it. I wouldn't sign Hankins. Bromley and Thomas have to get the job done. Can't keep throwing money at the DL it's needed elsewhere. Successful teams develop players. Bromley was a high draft choice. Time for him to step up. Adams needs to be part of the TE solution. Lewis and King need to develop at WR. Everything can't be a free agency fix. Solutions have to come internally (like Goodson at MLB)
It's a big #, and we really need him to stay healthy (at least mostly over the next 3 years - realistically hope for him to play better than 80% of the games). But it's fair considering what pass rusher's make now - JPP is a talented and complete DE, good against both run and especially pass.
It's a lot of money on DL, but clearly that's where the Giants place their value on D (along w/DB, mainly CB). We have a great pair of bookend DE's who should essentially be at their prime age for the next few years. Along with Snacks, it's a scary DL even w/o Hankins. And now they have some cap room to possibly bring back big Hank (probably still not the most likely tho - they need to think about some other upcoming contracts like OBJ, Collins and Pugh etc), or a cheaper replacement and probable draft pick. I'd rather not lose one of those guys to pay a 4th DL.
Glad to get it done, now can move on to whatever's next (DT if no Hank, cover LB if not Robinson, DB depth, RB/TE/OL and the draft picks we'll add at those positions). I'm excited to see this roster fill out - a real nice core of good talent at key positions locked up for a few years - still a handful of guys coming up, but unfortunately when you hit on picks and sign FA's like we did last year, you may not be able to keep all the good picks or cheap backups who do well...
and with other players like Poe and Logan getting $8-10M, I just don't see the Giants paying Hankins' price. Unless he takes a 1 year, prove it type deal for maybe $6M (or less?).
for finally signing one of his first round draft picks to a multi-year contract. It has only taken a decade to get this monkey off his back.
Are you forgetting what happened to guys like Hakeem Nicks, Kenny Phillips or David Wilson? Or is the Coughlin worship just *that* pathetic?
My statement had nothing to do with Coughlin. It was a factual statement regarding our GM's 1st round draft picks. I didn't forget what happened to players with injuries. Kenny and David are the only ones that were/are out of the league due to their injuries. The others were able to sign/play for other teams before being out of the league. Aaron Ross was good enough to latch on in Jax and good enough to resign with the Giants. Nicks was good enough to latch on in Ind and good enough to resign with the Giants. Prince was good enough to latch on with Jax and now Chicago.
Pugh will be the next eligible. If we apply the same standard of not being worth a second contract due to being often injured and missing games, then Pugh will not be extended. Still too early on OBJ, Flowers, and Apple.
Is this summary not factual? Again, not one mention of Coughlin in my response, but I'm sure you'll find some angle to drag him into the discussion.

It's not a cheap shot. The condemnation is based in the factual summary of Jerry's ability to extend his own first round draft picks. In a decade, he has extended 1 of his first round picks to a multi-year contract. Interpret that simple statement how you will.
Do people really think that Philips or Nicks were not going to get contracts if their careers were not wrecked by injuries. Never approached that point with Wilson.
It was never a question about ability with either of the. If Prince stayed healthy he would be here.

But our former 1st round picks did continue to play. Kenny and David are the only ones that were/are out of the league due to their injuries. The others were able to sign/play for other teams before being out of the league. Aaron Ross was good enough to latch on in Jax and good enough to resign with the Giants. Nicks was good enough to latch on in Ind and good enough to resign with the Giants. Prince was good enough to latch on with Jax and now Chicago.
Translation: I don't know the circumstances surrounding these players not being re-signed. Hence I will make an idiotic blanket statement that exposes me to ridicule.

In fairness, not a helluva lot of them have been healthy enough to get to the second contract and if so, were injury prone enough (i.e. Prince) not to pursue
Now that is the crux of it - not worthy to pursue. Injuries have derailed players careers (Philips and Wilson), and others (Ross, Nicks, Prince) had some injuries but were able to continue playing after their rookie contract. Apparently 2 of them were worthy enough to bring back on a 1yr contract.

Congrats. Mission accomplished numbnutz.
Attack the post not the poster. What was incorrect about my statement? Jerry Reese became the GM in Jan. 2007. Fact. In his decade of tenure, he has had 10 first round picks. OBJ, Flowers, and Apple are not eligible for second contracts. So out of 7 1st round draft picks, Jerry has managed to sign 1 to a multi-year contract. I'm aware of injuries. Some players (Phillips and Wilson) were forced out of the league due to their injuries. Others (Ross, Nicks, and Prince) managed to continue to play beyond their rookie contracts. The jury is still out regarding Pugh.
Long term because of the presence of Vernon.
Vernon brought leadership and work ethic and dedication that fed into jpp both on and off the field
I'm sure snacks helped too
But they have no maturity concerns now

Lost me at Nicks. Nicks became a shell of himself due to leg injuries. Nicks would've signed a longterm deal as top 10 WR. Injuries derailed that. End of story
Yes he got another chance to hang on because he was a still just 25 formerly elite WR, but the point is he was worthy of a long-term deal if not for career-altering injuries.

You place the criteria of "long-term" deal. My criteria was a multi-year contract. Jerry signed Ross, Nicks, and JPP to 1 year deals in the past. My low bar for him to clear is a contract that exceeds 1 year. Ross, Nicks, and Prince played for more than 1 year beyond their rookie contracts. Nowhere in my statements have I moved the goalposts to frame the critique that a "long-term" deal was required.
Do people really think that Philips or Nicks were not going to get contracts if their careers were not wrecked by injuries. Never approached that point with Wilson.

You should be ashamed of yourself for even trying to slip that one by.
Nobody - not the Giants FO, not the fans, no one - wanted Nicks to be let go before he was hurt. He was putting together a HoF worthy career before he was derailed. And it was only after it was clear he had nothing left that he left the building with no attempt to retain him. And even then, they brought him back with the hopes he might somehow be able to resurrect his career.
What happened to him was criminal, but to insinuate that somehow it was a failing by Reese or the FO, or that the player was anything less than worthy of a hefty second contract, is insulting.

I'm not trying to deceive anyone. Not trying to "slip one by". I'm setting a very low bar for Reese to hurdle. A multi-year contract is more than 1 year. A 2 year contract qualifies as a multi-year contract. Ross, Nicks, and Prince have all played for 2 years beyond their rookie contracts. Hence, they all could have qualified to have been signed to multi-year contracts.
Are you EVER not a negative, miserable person? Serious question because I've never seen you post a positive thing about this team. Why do you even watch? Don't you have a puppy to kick or something?

This was a 11-5 team that has added a big productive WR (team need), a blocking TE (team need), a G/T (team need), hasn't lost anyone of any signifance (Hankins still in limbo) and the draft is still yet to come. Seems a strange time to be killing the GM, though I'm not surprised that you continue to do so. You've made your mind up. Reese sucks. Nothing will ever change your mind so you will continue to litter every single thread with your agenda. Lucky us!
He has had good picks and bad picks like every GM. The good outweighs the bad. Minus Marvin Austin, Clint Sintim, a freak David Wilson injury (imagine him in this offense!), and Reuben Randle going full retarded.. Reese is god. Still praying on Flowers to pan out.

Sorry. Been a NYG fan since conception. That doesn't mean the team, or members of the FO, are immune from being criticized when warranted. The hard truth is Reese's poor job performance from 2008 thru 2012 contributed to the roster's deterioration that resulted in the team missing the playoffs 6 out of 7 seasons, including the train-wreck seasons of 2013, 2014, and 2015. They've seemingly turned a corner, but to waste away the prime years of the best QB in franchise history as he's done is criminal.

How anyone who calls himself a Giants fan can look at the 2008, 2009, and 2010 drafts and criticize Reese is beyond me.
In 2008, picking last in each round, the Giants got a starting FS, a starting CB, a complimentary WR, and a starting-caliber MIKE.
In 2009, picking late in each round, the Giants got a #1 WR and a starting LT.
In 2010, the Giants got an elite DE and a starting, run-stuffing DT.
Throw in a bunch of late-rounders who, at the very least, provided depth and special-teams play...add a couple of UDFAs who became major contributors...and let's not forget some very key free agent acquisitions, and it shouldn't be hard to see why the Giants won their second Super Bowl under Reese's tenure in 2011.
Is Reese God? Hardly. He's certainly made his share of mistakes. But he's also been the victim of a tremendous amount of bad luck and an inordinate amount of catastrophic injuries. My guess is that Eli gives him a lot more credit than some alleged fans do. After all, he's got two rings and two Super Bowl MVPs on his resume. Does Aaron Rogers? Does Drew Brees? Can Tony Romo? Can any other QB not named Brady or Roethlisberger make those claims? Nope.
So, oh, my paws and whiskers! Reese had to spend big in free agency last year to bolster a historically bad defense - a spending spree that was roundly criticized by pundits and fans alike, but which ended up being monumentally successful. A huge feather in his cap, in my opinion.
Criticism is fine when it's constructive. Incessant whining is not, but it's what we've come to expect from the usual suspects.

Is it too hard not to bitch and moan about everything?

WE GET IT: THE OL SUCKS, REESE'S DRAFTS SUCKED for a few years BLAH BLAH BLAH..We get it. Men are trying to talk here.
Since then, he's drafted one of the best players in the NFL on offense (Beckham), traded up for an all pro safety (Collins), and added 3 MORE ALL PROS in Snacks, Vernon, Jenkins + DRC. But yeah, keep whining about the 2013 draft.
Nobody wants to be around the guy who bitches and moans all the time. If you're interested in having a discussion, I'd be more than happy to. But you seem more interested in venting your misery around here.

I am a very happy Giant fan today. The most deserving true blue blood Giant, got paid, and will be on our side for a few more years. Congrats JPP! You are an inspiration to all of us who have fucked up, and fought our way back. A place in the "Ring of Honor" awaits you.

If you're a tue blue fan you take the good with the bad
earned it by getting the two rings for this franchise
An Reese is close to assembling another winning team
There will be a day they are both gone and the Giants will be truly re-building
Who get upset when someone has the stones to criticize the NYG. If you can't handle the truth go find someplace else where being a pu**y is accepted Internet behavior. Kenny can be your leader.
Big picture: If this franchise is able to win another SB in
2-3 years, nobody will give a shit that we had lousy years 2013-2015, which is a blip on the radar for this franchise....Eli goes into the HOF on roller skates and it will put a ribbon on the most successful period in franchise history. It's called seeing the big picture.

What further needs to be said? One poster called JR a god and I (accurately) said why we had to spend a boatload of cap $$ to improve the team. If Reese drafted better from 2008 thru 2012, chances are we'd have a strong enough roster to the point where we needed to import impact players from other rosters to the extent Reese had to. I'm not sure how anyone can dispute that. At the same time, by me stating that, how do posters have the nerve to call me a cunt? Let's try to have a semblance of respect around here. Jesus.

What further needs to be said? One poster called JR a god and I (accurately) said why we had to spend a boatload of cap $$ to improve the team. If Reese drafted better from 2008 thru 2012, chances are we'd have a strong enough roster to the point where we needed to import impact players from other rosters to the extent Reese had to. I'm not sure how anyone can dispute that. At the same time, by me stating that, how do posters have the nerve to call me a cunt? Let's try to have a semblance of respect around here. Jesus.
It was never a question about ability with either of the. If Prince stayed healthy he would be here.
Not receiving a second contract because of injury is far different than not getting one because you cant play
If you want to issue a condemning statement you're obligated to be specific....what first round picks do you think he should have resigned?
Otherwise you're a cheap shot artist.
I'm here all week, folks.
Stick with the veal.
It's a lot of money on DL, but clearly that's where the Giants place their value on D (along w/DB, mainly CB). We have a great pair of bookend DE's who should essentially be at their prime age for the next few years. Along with Snacks, it's a scary DL even w/o Hankins. And now they have some cap room to possibly bring back big Hank (probably still not the most likely tho - they need to think about some other upcoming contracts like OBJ, Collins and Pugh etc), or a cheaper replacement and probable draft pick. I'd rather not lose one of those guys to pay a 4th DL.
Glad to get it done, now can move on to whatever's next (DT if no Hank, cover LB if not Robinson, DB depth, RB/TE/OL and the draft picks we'll add at those positions). I'm excited to see this roster fill out - a real nice core of good talent at key positions locked up for a few years - still a handful of guys coming up, but unfortunately when you hit on picks and sign FA's like we did last year, you may not be able to keep all the good picks or cheap backups who do well...

Are you forgetting what happened to guys like Hakeem Nicks, Kenny Phillips or David Wilson? Or is the Coughlin worship just *that* pathetic?
My statement had nothing to do with Coughlin. It was a factual statement regarding our GM's 1st round draft picks. I didn't forget what happened to players with injuries. Kenny and David are the only ones that were/are out of the league due to their injuries. The others were able to sign/play for other teams before being out of the league. Aaron Ross was good enough to latch on in Jax and good enough to resign with the Giants. Nicks was good enough to latch on in Ind and good enough to resign with the Giants. Prince was good enough to latch on with Jax and now Chicago.
Pugh will be the next eligible. If we apply the same standard of not being worth a second contract due to being often injured and missing games, then Pugh will not be extended. Still too early on OBJ, Flowers, and Apple.
Is this summary not factual? Again, not one mention of Coughlin in my response, but I'm sure you'll find some angle to drag him into the discussion.

It's not a cheap shot. The condemnation is based in the factual summary of Jerry's ability to extend his own first round draft picks. In a decade, he has extended 1 of his first round picks to a multi-year contract. Interpret that simple statement how you will.
It was never a question about ability with either of the. If Prince stayed healthy he would be here.
Not receiving a second contract because of injury is far different than not getting one because you cant play
But our former 1st round picks did continue to play. Kenny and David are the only ones that were/are out of the league due to their injuries. The others were able to sign/play for other teams before being out of the league. Aaron Ross was good enough to latch on in Jax and good enough to resign with the Giants. Nicks was good enough to latch on in Ind and good enough to resign with the Giants. Prince was good enough to latch on with Jax and now Chicago.
Congrats. Mission accomplished numbnutz.

In fairness, not a helluva lot of them have been healthy enough to get to the second contract and if so, were injury prone enough (i.e. Prince) not to pursue
Now that is the crux of it - not worthy to pursue. Injuries have derailed players careers (Philips and Wilson), and others (Ross, Nicks, Prince) had some injuries but were able to continue playing after their rookie contract. Apparently 2 of them were worthy enough to bring back on a 1yr contract.
Congrats. Mission accomplished numbnutz.
Attack the post not the poster. What was incorrect about my statement? Jerry Reese became the GM in Jan. 2007. Fact. In his decade of tenure, he has had 10 first round picks. OBJ, Flowers, and Apple are not eligible for second contracts. So out of 7 1st round draft picks, Jerry has managed to sign 1 to a multi-year contract. I'm aware of injuries. Some players (Phillips and Wilson) were forced out of the league due to their injuries. Others (Ross, Nicks, and Prince) managed to continue to play beyond their rookie contracts. The jury is still out regarding Pugh.

I love how he completely ignores mentioning any of the context. Some people should just give it up, and go root for Jax already.
What does my statement have to do with Jax? I've responded to others with the context.
Vernon brought leadership and work ethic and dedication that fed into jpp both on and off the field
I'm sure snacks helped too
But they have no maturity concerns now
This.

This is a ridiculous point to try to pass off as legitimate discussion.
Rooting for his buddy to get a big payday or its Hanks turn to sign with NYG?

Lost me at Nicks. Nicks became a shell of himself due to leg injuries. Nicks would've signed a longterm deal as top 10 WR. Injuries derailed that. End of story
Yes he got another chance to hang on because he was a still just 25 formerly elite WR, but the point is he was worthy of a long-term deal if not for career-altering injuries.

You place the criteria of "long-term" deal. My criteria was a multi-year contract. Jerry signed Ross, Nicks, and JPP to 1 year deals in the past. My low bar for him to clear is a contract that exceeds 1 year. Ross, Nicks, and Prince played for more than 1 year beyond their rookie contracts. Nowhere in my statements have I moved the goalposts to frame the critique that a "long-term" deal was required.
Don't hate me for saying it....it's simply true.

Nobody - not the Giants FO, not the fans, no one - wanted Nicks to be let go before he was hurt. He was putting together a HoF worthy career before he was derailed. And it was only after it was clear he had nothing left that he left the building with no attempt to retain him. And even then, they brought him back with the hopes he might somehow be able to resurrect his career.
What happened to him was criminal, but to insinuate that somehow it was a failing by Reese or the FO, or that the player was anything less than worthy of a hefty second contract, is insulting.

I'm not trying to deceive anyone. Not trying to "slip one by". I'm setting a very low bar for Reese to hurdle. A multi-year contract is more than 1 year. A 2 year contract qualifies as a multi-year contract. Ross, Nicks, and Prince have all played for 2 years beyond their rookie contracts. Hence, they all could have qualified to have been signed to multi-year contracts.
I would appreciate if you would focus your criticism at my post and not myself. Don't confuse my criticism of the GM with my devotion to the team. One is capable for rooting for the team without endorsing the GM.

This was a 11-5 team that has added a big productive WR (team need), a blocking TE (team need), a G/T (team need), hasn't lost anyone of any signifance (Hankins still in limbo) and the draft is still yet to come. Seems a strange time to be killing the GM, though I'm not surprised that you continue to do so. You've made your mind up. Reese sucks. Nothing will ever change your mind so you will continue to litter every single thread with your agenda. Lucky us!
Easy there killer
Reese is god? You do realize why he's had to spend so much in FA in the first place, right? If OBJ hadn't blown up the league in 2014, Reese might not even still be here.
Quote:
He has had good picks and bad picks like every GM. The good outweighs the bad. Minus Marvin Austin, Clint Sintim, a freak David Wilson injury (imagine him in this offense!), and Reuben Randle going full retarded.. Reese is god. Still praying on Flowers to pan out.

Sorry. Been a NYG fan since conception. That doesn't mean the team, or members of the FO, are immune from being criticized when warranted. The hard truth is Reese's poor job performance from 2008 thru 2012 contributed to the roster's deterioration that resulted in the team missing the playoffs 6 out of 7 seasons, including the train-wreck seasons of 2013, 2014, and 2015. They've seemingly turned a corner, but to waste away the prime years of the best QB in franchise history as he's done is criminal.

How anyone who calls himself a Giants fan can look at the 2008, 2009, and 2010 drafts and criticize Reese is beyond me.
In 2008, picking last in each round, the Giants got a starting FS, a starting CB, a complimentary WR, and a starting-caliber MIKE.
In 2009, picking late in each round, the Giants got a #1 WR and a starting LT.
In 2010, the Giants got an elite DE and a starting, run-stuffing DT.
Throw in a bunch of late-rounders who, at the very least, provided depth and special-teams play...add a couple of UDFAs who became major contributors...and let's not forget some very key free agent acquisitions, and it shouldn't be hard to see why the Giants won their second Super Bowl under Reese's tenure in 2011.
Is Reese God? Hardly. He's certainly made his share of mistakes. But he's also been the victim of a tremendous amount of bad luck and an inordinate amount of catastrophic injuries. My guess is that Eli gives him a lot more credit than some alleged fans do. After all, he's got two rings and two Super Bowl MVPs on his resume. Does Aaron Rogers? Does Drew Brees? Can Tony Romo? Can any other QB not named Brady or Roethlisberger make those claims? Nope.
So, oh, my paws and whiskers! Reese had to spend big in free agency last year to bolster a historically bad defense - a spending spree that was roundly criticized by pundits and fans alike, but which ended up being monumentally successful. A huge feather in his cap, in my opinion.
Criticism is fine when it's constructive. Incessant whining is not, but it's what we've come to expect from the usual suspects.

Since then, he's drafted one of the best players in the NFL on offense (Beckham), traded up for an all pro safety (Collins), and added 3 MORE ALL PROS in Snacks, Vernon, Jenkins + DRC. But yeah, keep whining about the 2013 draft.
Nobody wants to be around the guy who bitches and moans all the time. If you're interested in having a discussion, I'd be more than happy to. But you seem more interested in venting your misery around here.
