I think mid-year through the season he deserves a thread of his own. What is it that we have here?

It's a tough call on Flowers  
dpinzow : 11/19/2017 4:51 pm : link
because he's played rather well since Ziggy Ansah abused him in week 2. Don't think he's given up a sack since then.

The final 6 games are huge for Flowers. Do we see the Flowers that got destroyed the first 2 weeks or do we see the Flowers who has played very well since then

Yes. One could always use the word Wreck as a mnemonic device in remembering how to spell his first name.

Another brilliant post. So you get rid of a guy who has finally learned how to block and should continue to get better as the technique improves every game he plays....Yeah maybe they can draft another project.
Why are people against this guy?  
PatersonPlank : 11/19/2017 4:58 pm : link
He's young, he has improved dramatically this season, and he works his butt off. Not to mention he's huge. Its like young players are not allowed to improve here.
We have a solid left tackle going into his last

year of his rookie contract.
So we are not forced to draft one this year if not BPA.
We can wait another year and hope to resign him if he continues to improve or draft his replacement in the 2019 draft.

Most of BBI doesn't want to admit they were wrong about Flowers being a solid left tackle in this league.
Flowers is getting better every week  
Rjanyg : 11/19/2017 5:05 pm : link
He is part of the solution going forward
He's playing well right now at LT  
jeff57 : 11/19/2017 5:06 pm : link
If he keeps doing so the rest of the way, I'd leave him where he is.
Well  
Reb8thVA : 11/19/2017 5:10 pm : link
We have another year to evaluate him for better or for worse. If we end up picking as high as we expect, we aren’t taking an OL first anyway. It might allow us to focus on improving the interior of the OL next year. If he is available in the second you could select someone like Mason Cole from Michigan who has played LT and C as insurance. Hard to say definitively how everything will probably play out because there are too many unknowns right now.
The one guy who has consistently improved and played well

Wheeler has LT feet. And better technique. Depending
On where they pick id like Quentin Nelson in RD one
To add to those two. He would make the whole
Line Better the way Martin solidified Dallas

I’m happy for him on a personal level

"complete train wreck" to serviceable in an offense that requires Eli to pass the ball in 2 seconds so he avoids getting killed. They scheme to get the ball out incredibly quickly because they know they can't protect Eli. He has played a little bit better. According to the linked article, the writer has "yet to speak to an opposing scout who believes he's a long-term answer at left tackle." But you guys know better than the scouts. You need to account for scheme when evaluating a player.

We just saw a team switch to Nathan Peterman. I'd take anonymous scout and exec quotes with a grain of salt

I am not against him.. Its just that he has looked good since our season was down the drain.. It wasn't just Detroit.. In Philly the next week he sucked ass really bad at run blocking and cost us the game.. yes its good he has performed well since then.. but I won't commit to him until I see him do it when games matter.. If he fucks up the first few games next season then its time to dump him..

In the meantime as a giants fan.. I hope he does really well.. but he is on his last chance.. and doing good today doesn't mean we should risk our next season on him continuing this.. there should be a backup plan..

Your a complete idiot. B standing for Bafoon

Flowers might not have given up a sack in awhile and is improving but he is constantly giving up pressure and the pocket does collapse often
And this is according to Vacchiano who wrote this today
Wheeler has much better feet for LT and played it thru USC. Put Flowers to RT alongside Fluker and now you have a potential road grade type of line that wears defenses out

So B in Alb. You freaking bafoon Enjoy being ignorant and just a discusting human piece of feces

Just remember Shock. I've never played football. I have no idea what I'm talking about. Just a clown babbling about something I've never experienced as a player or coach. Plus, I'm a discusting (sic) piece of human feces and a bafoon (sic).

This is a tough one. A longtime good poster who actually played Division 1 football vs a guy who used the phrase discusting human piece of feces?
