The "Star" torch ....
(Saquon's light dimmed as he struggled through injuries and a lot of team losses; the last 1st magnitude Giants star was OBJ, before he was shipped off to the Browns)

The top jersey sales list - Surprisingly, three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes NOT #1 (he's #3)
The torch will be passed if and when somebody is playing well enough to take it. Who knows who that could be...
LOL thats a good one!!!!
Nothing against Saquon, very talented player, fun to watch. However, there was a long list of injuries and his game had a lot of worts he never cleaned up.
Saquon was a top 3 "talent" at his position but arguably wasn't even a top 10 player at that position in half his seasons. Is that really what we want Nabers to "replace"???
Instead lets hope Malik brings what he did at LSU to NY.
Nabors in action - ( New Window )

Apples and oranges. I sort of understand the comparison but it's not the same. When we drafted Saquon, many posters openly questioned the shelf life or a RB. WR is completely different.

For Nabers than what we got out of Saquon Barkley.

Exactly. Shelf life has always been an RB question which Gettleman compounded being a decade late in realizing that MVP RBs would be like pay phones and WRs like cell phones.
Right, but it's worse for certain positions.
They keep track of this sort of thing, we're not just guessing.
OBJ played with a two time Super Bowl MVP who made guys like Randle and Meyers look like viable receivers.
RB's are not necessarily qb dependent; WR are.

I remember when Saquon was drafted this was brought up and he spent his first full training camp talking about all he was going to do to stay healthy, buck the trend and have a long career.
In his 6 years with the Giants he averaged 12 games a season and only played 2 full seasons.
Kid was always a model citizen and hard worker, I wish him the best in Philly, but everyone what every said would happen with him happened. He got hurt a lot, he didn't have a long shelf life here.
It was never my intention that this topic should descend into a serious discussion about player performance and viability but rather about popularity and associated "froufrou" subjects .... hence my mention that Hurts jerseys sell better than Mahomes jerseys.
Rarely got the tight short yards.
Once in a while he did... And people fall in love with him.
Just mindless banter on a hot Summer afternoon (and certainly no hurt "feelins"). Have a wonderful day !
