DG asleep at the wheel.
FWIW: We handed Big Ben to Pittsburgh.
In the big picture, we got McKenzie and Snacks from them, so I'm fine with them getting SD, if they can develop him; it's the J E T S after all.
Or we dodged the bullet that the Jets got, and one that will Â
Not sure what's so fascinating about it... easily amused, I guess. If the Jets have a good QB, good for them. I'm more interested in what we're doing here.
Calling it "fascinating" seems to insinuate that you care quite a bit...
Dave in Hoboken is a well known Eli hater. This is just another ham handed attempt to say the Giants should of picked a QB at 2 because Eli stinks. It gets old.

Except I didn't say that.
I said I find it fascinating how two very unlikely things that both franchises have been looking for decades, took place within a few months of eachother. That's literally it.
Amazing how sensitive some are. Including the geek 'map' who posted above me.
RE: Darnold hasn't proven anything yet in the NFL. Â
If those things fascinate you, you're even more of a simpleton than I already thought.
You don't find it interesting that the Eagles won their first SB and the Jets *might* have drafted their franchise QB (again two things that both franchises have been looking for, for decades) within a few months of eachother the least bit interesting?
LOL, I don't think anyone is sensitive here. It's just another way for someone from the "we didn't take a QB crowd and I'm annoyed about it" to take a veiled shot at what the Giants did this offseason.

Not really. Everyone knew the Jets were going to take a QB for a long time. It was a no brainer decision for them.
As for the Eagles.. they won. It sucks. But they had a good team. I'm over it.

Because he said the Jets may have found a franchise QB? That’s taken as a shot against Giants?

You're obviously not familiar with the poster or what he was posting for weeks and weeks leading up to the draft about the Giants taking a QB.

Yes, because I was one of the ones that wanted a QB, that means that I cannot state how the Jets possibly drafting their franchise QB and the Eagles winning the SB within a few months of eachother was somewhat interesting to me. I guess I should point out I am a big 'dates in history' guy. So, I guess me posting that without that context on here to people who don't know that isn't quite the same.

Yea you just don't know Dave in Hoboken. He's been called out before by saying stupid things that are really a knock on Eli but just not saying it outright. And he thinks he's being clever. Again, he's been called out before.
The division rival just won a SB... the cross-town NY team just potentially drafted a franchise QB. What are we doing here?
If you were honestly just interested by those two things - my fault. Would it be as interesting if it was the Colts and Cardinals, though? I have a hard time seeing the same comment being made if it were teams like that instead. Which is why I didn't think there was anything particularly noteworthy about either thing. Someone wins the SB every year... teams draft QB's every year.
The only common thread between the Eagles and Jets is the Giants. So, that's why I responded in kind.

we handed them absolutely nothing. We made the best decision for the best interest of our own franchise and the Jets did the same for themselves. These two decisions were completely independent of each other.

No big.
No problem. I could see that.
Yeah, I hate the Eagles, and I don't care for the Jets at all. Their close proximity plays a part, too. I don't know what to expect from the Eagles this year. I could see them being good or having a bit of a letdown after last year's SB win. The Jets still need quite a bit of work to become a legit contender. I'm not putting either team over next year as locks to be good-great teams.
I don’t get why the Jets and both any other team. Â
Because we share a field or initials? Pretty soft.. the Jets are a random irrelevancy to the Giants..might as well mention my high school team in comparison,
Only the NFC East teams count in comparison and then maybe other nfc teams. But, the true reality is, we should simply be measuring our selves against ourselves and our expectations and our growth
The Jets are a manufactured comparison, a manufactured story...fake news.

It was more about how two franchises, one of which have been trying to win that elusive championship (Philly) and the other of which that has been searching for a franchise QB, *might* have drafted one, and both found what was elduing them for decades within a few months of eachother.
But some people have a mental thing about the Jets. Who freaking cares about the Jets (in relation to the Giants). That’s like football being jealous of pocket lint.
for this stiff. This guy went in the 2nd round, and the Jets couldn’t even trust him to play in preseason! Jerry Reese is probably thinking “ and I got fired?”

Absolutely. Sometimes they use the stadium fo NJ HS football games, sometime for rock concerts. Are we supposed to be petty jealous of them as well?
That is an unfair shot at Webb. Like Webb, everyone thought Hack needed a redshirt year, but at least the Giants trusted Webb enough to play a fucking preseason game! Hack played 2 years and never took a snap, even in preseason. THAT is a bad pick.

Can't really tell what your point is, high school teams, you can't be serious.
The Jets drafting of lousy QB's is amazingly bad Â

totally serious. The fact that some random team shares a stadium is completely irrelevant to how people should view the Giants.
come back to this thread to see why it was so popular. I thought maybe there was a Hackenberg/Penn State fanboy caring too much about a meaningless trade.
Maybe it's because I have Jets' fans in my family or that I no longer live in the NYC area so I never hear trash talk from Jets' fans but I don't consider them any sort of rival. If I ever run into a Jets' fan locally, there is usually somewhat of a comradery.
Makes me wonder if that was instrumental in this decision...

Webb never got a shot last year. It was a designed redshirt year by our genius HC.
That is an unfair shot at Webb. Like Webb, everyone thought Hack needed a redshirt year, but at least the Giants trusted Webb enough to play a fucking preseason game! Hack played 2 years and never took a snap, even in preseason. THAT is a bad pick.

Hackeysack - 2nd rd
Geno - 2nd round
Darnold - 1st rd (if he busts watch out for another 10 years).
Plus they pick up Bridgewater, which is a huge risk
Probably more lit than the Hacenburg thread on the Jets forum. Wtf!
