Greg Gabriel @greggabe Report: Giants would take a Darnold but not Rosen. Could be true, could be BS. I’ve known Dave Gettleman for 25 years, he’s not about to tell anyone his plans. Don’t believe what you read. The real lying is underway |
That would be a very non-traditional NYG/non-Mara move, but I can see Shurmur and Shula loving him for what they want to do.
Not really. The Carolina 1st rounders were well trailed. Everyone knew they were taking McCaffery last year.

Not only does he have the goods, but go back and listen to DG's comments about most of the QBs today having never called protections, run a huddle, etc..."not even qb-101 stuff". Rosen fits the bill, I think he's their top choice.

That's true about McCaffery, but I don't think it was the case in previous years.
lol there is no evidence of that. But whatever makes you feel good

Well, the way he's conducted the offseason so far is a pretty good indication. Lots of surprise moves with few, if any, leaks in advance. No real idea what he wants to do at #2 yet at all.
You do have to bluff if you want to keep open the option of trading your own pick.
Ive had the same thought...if not us I see him being a Jet....

on the flip side, DG and Shurmur have both be on record that a QB's best attribute has to be his availability, and that isn't Rosen.
When Gettleman got fired simply for trying to do his job and not by the results, that's all you need to know about their ownership and the differences to ours.
I've heard, and I've tried not to be repetitive but the only people in that room is Gettleman and the Mara's. All of which have been very hands on and distant from everyone else with the information they are gathering.
You'd bluff if you're looking to trade back a few spots though. Whether it's making teams think you're interested in a certain player or making them think other teams are.
If another team really wants a player you don't, it makes good sense to bluff.

To be honest, Tisch seems the sort who'd be loose with info as well.
Richardson wanted to be part of the decision making process or at least be directly consulted before final decisions were reached.
I don't think Tisch does - could be wrong, but that isn't my impression.

Same here, have heard painfully little since the week after the Combines.
That's not true. In any negotiation, it does not help to just state your bottom line position. The Giants may be in negotiations to trade up to to trade down. Even if they stay put, they may not want to telegraph to the Browns who also have the #4 pick.
It is fun to follow, but we shouldn’t get sucked in.
This is definitely where everything starts to become posturing / smokescreening. I basically just take every new report with a grain of salt.
By now, we've heard that NYG like or don't like nearly every player possible for us @ 2.

wonder how much Shurmur even knows.
Quite a bit, you would hope. Your head coach is a puppet if he isn't at the table when big football decisions are made. He's only the man who has to execute on behalf of those decisions, after all. It works when HC and GM are on the same page. When they aren't... that's a formula for failure.
Especially when the HC is widely viewed as a "QB guru" and you are (potentially) in the market for a QB. Management would be dumb not to consult with the HC.
I'd be happy with one of these 3 QB's - Darnold, Mayfield or Rosen...even if Webb is the real deal.
I still think Giants would be crazy not to take a QB at #2.

Actually not really to both takes. Stopped watch is right twice a day.
When blogs and twats and writers guess 1000 times over a 2 month span, they are bound to get one or two guesses right. So the Panthers scout McCaffery and have a need and some wad on the web predicts interest and low and behold MC is the pick and that wad nailed it? Bullshit...that WAD got lucky. Where are the other articles predicting that the Panthers would take Cook or a young TE like Engram or Howard? I saw those...no one cares.
