Barkley preview ? ....

Manny in CA : 7/8/2018 11:54 pm
This is some of what Jerick McKinnon did for the Vikings last year, before he got hurt ...

Except Barkley's bigger faster; that's what Shurmer has in mind.
You mean

Is not on the same level as Barkley. And all of those so called " Fans" who were screaming for a QB in the 1st rd who would be nothing but a clipboard holder behind Eli and Webb will eat their words.Besides Kyle Lauletta is not garbage and was a smart pick in Rd 4 to compete with Webb. Both Webb and Lauletta where Senior Bowl MVPs. They are not chopped liver. In the meantime Barkley will have an immediate impact. That does not guarantee that the Giants will become a SB contender because football is a team game. They are certainly a better team than last years's debacle. I think that Barkley minus McAdoof gives the Giants a chance to make the playoffs. I am still concerned with the lack of a quality Wide Out to play opposite OBJ. Shurmur is going to have to do some juggling at that position.....and of course Erik Flowers is STILL on this team...but we will see what happens when the REAL games are played.
If he stays healthy, he's going to have a big year.  
Brown Recluse : 7/9/2018 7:47 am : link
And so will Eli.

The key word here is "healthy." Giant players can't seem to do this.
Intriguing, but  
CT Charlie : 7/9/2018 7:52 am : link
when was the last time the Giants blocked like that?
As Always...  
Rong5611 : 7/9/2018 7:54 am : link
Depends on the Oline.
Just Manny..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/9/2018 8:16 am : link
being Manny. Can't even get the Vikings RB's correct.
Keep in mind the Vikings O-Line was atrociuos  
BlueHurricane : 7/9/2018 8:54 am : link
Before a total overhaul prior to last season.
Maybe..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/9/2018 9:12 am : link
the Vikings OL was still bad last year, but the backfield of Chuck Foreman, Michael Bennett, Robert Smith and Herschel Walker overcame those glaring holes?
So I am only a so called “fan”  
Jimmy Googs : 7/9/2018 9:15 am : link
because Manny doesn’t know who Dalvin Cook is?
Wow  
Harvest Blend : 7/9/2018 9:51 am : link
so you're only a "Fan" if you wanted a QB at #2. Good to know.
Wow - this thread is confusing  
SteelGiant : 7/9/2018 9:52 am : link
Is this an joke with Manny that I missed? Or did no one else click the link? Because that video is clearly McKinnon highlights not Cook.

Now on that note I hope Barkley is better than McKinnon since he was allowed to walk and go to the 49ers in favor for Cook obviously and he had a hard time getting carries instead of Latavius Murray. I would prefer Barkley to be good enough to not give that many opportunites to other RBs on the roster but I think I get your point.
Mckinnon..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/9/2018 9:57 am : link
had an injury last year??
McKinnon was plenty good enough to get carries last year  
Keith : 7/9/2018 9:59 am : link
and often looked much better than Murray, but I think they limited his touches and particularly runs so that he could stay healthy. McKinnon is a smaller guy and the Vikings used their backs a ton.

Also, McKinnon didn't get hurt.

Are you implying you're not a real fan if you wanted the giants to draft a qb?

Yes, that's what he's implying. I was going to challenge his post when I saw it early this morning but I decided it's just not worth taking the time (especially since he also apparently believes that if a QB doesn't start year 1, it's a wasted pick).
I did mean McKinnon ...  
Manny in CA : 7/9/2018 12:40 pm : link

And yes, he wasn't hurt (I stand corrected). Didn't he go to the 49ers ? (I think they gave give some good money).

What I like about McKinnon is his ability to catch the ball well.

So let me get this straight you're not a "Fan" if you wanted a QB when the giants were picking 2nd overall, in what world is that?

Yes, but other than that his post makes sense. Why are people here so quick to confront. Anyone who says we were stupid NOT to take a QB, or says we would have been stupid to TAKE a QB should at least acknowledge that there are good arguments on both sides.
Maybe I can help here....

If you find yourself agreeing with or even defending a post made by alwaysblue, then you need to look in a mirror and rethink how you view that specific subject. I can't tell if this person is a troll or just completely batsh*t crazy, but never will he(she?) say anything of value. Facts.

Obviously you missed the point of his post.

He believes that if you thought that the Giants should have taken a QB then you are a NOT really a Giants fan.

I thought the Giants should have taken a QB and still do, but I never thought for a second that people who disagreed with me were any less of a fan. I'm guessing only this guy feels that way.
