basically blaming the whole fiasco on McAdoo, they he completely botched the relating of what Mara agreed to, which was possibly pulling Eli out of games that were out of hand either way to play the other QBs. McAdumb alone made it a "start the game, then sit the 2nd half" proposition.
Ehh, no offense to Slade, but many of us came to this conclusion on our own after Mara's statements. Giants ownership is clearly angry about this season and how many situations have been handled. Also, Art Stapleton said the same thing late yesterday. Mara really gave McAdoo both barrels when he mentioned that communication and empathy were not McAdoo's strong suit and that there were no guarantees when it came to the coach keeping his job for the next month.
Now if McAdoo gets fired before the end of the season, I'll give Slade all the credit he is due.
It's just silly to think the Giants have already thought about what they will do with their pick. They don't even know where they will be picking - nor do they know what QBs will be in the draft. Nor do they know what they could get for trading down. It's just a ludicrous idea that any such conversation has taken place. Beyond nuts.
Yikes They messed this Eli thing up so badly poor Paul didn't know what to do.
Mara is now sitting around going what the hell just happened. I think he's really pissed at McAdoo for the way this was handled.
Agreed, and because if this, and that he is a fucking moron, I would fire McAdoo now.

but his word shouldn't be taken as gospel. Especially not the part about trading our top pick. Seriously doubt that happens.
Reese doesn't even like trading down out of his slot. There's a 0% chance they trade the best pick position they'll get since 2004.
Has Reese said he doesn't like trading down? If he did I missed it.
That said a change may be necessary, but saying the guy is some clown isn't recognizing the full body of work. Most people thought the roster was pretty good heading into the season.
TC was a great coach who also made some bad decisions - is he a buffoon too - can't get the challenge flag out of his sock, etc???

Reese holds the most blame for all of this. Still no answer at o line. Still no answer at RB. Still no answer at LB. Specials are garbage which means shit depth.
Teflon Reese is the main reason all of this has happened and I think he will be back next year to boot.

It almost certainly hasn't. But Dottino has egg on his face and is trying to pick a new bet to double down on.

I think ten years of drafts is enough of a sample to form an opinion.

He only trades UP for QBs who can't play, never down.
yeah, right.
McAdoo may have bungled, but Mara knew darn well there was going to be a backlash no matter what and set it up so Mac would take the fall.
Mara is not innocent, in this, or in the state of the Giants overall.
