That's the same type of nonsense BBIers are mentioning by stating the Giants should avoid to draft a potential Franchise QB because of Davis Webb.
Don't get me wrong, I'm rooting for Webb. I've liked everything I've read about the kid and his amazing work ethic. He might even turn out being a better QB than anyone in this draft. Although you don't avoid drafting a potential Franchise QB because of Davis Webb.....just as much as avoiding drafting a potential Franchise RB because we have Wayne Gallman on the roster.
You can say with much greater confidence that Wayne Gallman is not Saquon Barkley than you can that Davis Webb is not Darnold/Rosen/Mayfield/Allen.
This is exactly what the OP is saying.. if the Giants think there is a franchise QB at 2nd pick, Webb shouldn't be part of the equation.. anyhow so far in his career Gallman has proven he is a better NFL player than Webb..
Seems like a strawman argument - I've not even seen this mentioned, let alone mentioned frequently.
And if they felt he was a legit starting RB that could carry the ball 20-25 times, then they would not draft Barkley.

I'm guessing its the counter to those saying we shouldn't draft a QB because of Webb.
Not even sure there are a lot of people saying Webb is the reason not to draft a QB either.
Sure he is a RB.. He can also line up in the slot. You can split him out wide. He is a total mismatch for almost every LB in the NFL. He can do more than just wheel route and short routes. Apparently he is working on running the entire route tree that WR's should run.. He has natural hands to catch the ball.
I think thinking that the Giants arent going to draft Barkley because they have Wayne Gallman is silly. They might not draft him for numerous other reasons.. They draft a QB, OL or DL. They trade down and miss out on him.. but it will NOT be because of Wayne Gallman...
And as far as the whole Webb Vs Rookie thing...look, I think most people have no clue what Webb can or cannot do, but understand that the Giants are much more informed than anyone here and if they do pass on a QB because they think Webb is their guy - then there is probably some plausible reason why - and they'll see how it plays out before "throwing their remote" or whatever other childish reaction people say they'll have because their favorite sports team didn't do what they wanted them to.
LT transformed the Giants into one of the top five NFL franchises in the super bowl era. If Young had not made this selection based on best player available, I am convinced that we would still be the Cleveland Browns today... We want transformative players with character, courage and leadership - not untested bodies to fill roster holes...
Take Barkley or trade the pick!
There's room on the team for both. Let's not trash Gallman because Barkley may be better.

We're drafting a 230 lb faster Jerry Rice.

Sit back and enjoy it.

I think people need to stop telling other people what to think.
He also fumbles way too much for my liking. I'd rather have his backfield partner Chubb.
Posters whose profile name start with the letter "s" have a high troll rate.
Does that automatically make you a troll?
Gallman can be a really solid rotational back. I like him a lot. But he doesn't have the same ceiling Barkley has. Not even close, really.
Tiki was one of the best blocking backs in the league. He was literally great at everything on the field.
I wonder how much it eats at him that we left the game early. He could have potentially won a Super Bowl the very next year, and had he played a couple more seasons - been in the top 10 rushers in NFL history and secured his spot in the Hall of Fame.
Sit back and enjoy it.

Very true, but here? Good luck
