He had to live with the absolute crapshow that Reese (and Coughlin) left behind. Where Shurmur (A.K.A. Schumer) has Gettleman clearing out the dead wood, McAdoo had to use this dead wood and it became a millstone around his neck.



I don't feel bad for him but you are right otherwise.

That guy was put in a no-win situation, especially last year, by injuries, an incompetent GM, and an owner who favors loyalty over results...


Isn't "no win" a little hyperbole? He was handed a $200 million dollar defense.

"$200 million" was essentially two players.

as a backup. Both Reese and Ross should never work in this league again.

Just thinking about Reese's press conferences where he has that smug attitude and postures as if everyone else in the room is a fucking moron.


He is clearly worth keeping if you look at him as a physical specimen. It is who he is as a person - his work ethic - that makes him a cancer in the locker room. He literally just doesn't give a shit. There should be a mechanism to take back all the money paid to someone who doesn't even try. He deserves to lose every penny paid to him by the Giants.

I think the guaranteed rookie contracts of 1st round picks should be addressed in the next CBA. The forfeiture clause in contracts is very rarely used. The players know this. The moment he signed the contract, he is a multi-millionaire. He will have taken (not saying he earned any of the money) over $14.4M in 4 years. Even if he never works a day for the rest of his life, he should be set if he manages and invests the money.

With him getting moved to RT and knowing that he is in a contract year, he should have had all the motivation to put his best play forward. But it began when he opted to stay in Miami for the mini-camp. Once the schedule came out, he knew who the opponents were for months before the first snap of week 1. There was no secret that Dante Fowler was suspended for Week 1. He had 2 core defenders to prepare for in Calais and Yannick. If he had dedicated 10 minutes each night while stuffing his face, he would have known that Calais is not known as a speed rusher. But instead he shows his lack of preparation when instead of scouting his opponent, he demonstrates his best Karate Kid technique.
The funny thing is..

for almost anyone else on this board, I'd look at this as being sarcastic:

Very bad move


But you are such a fucking bad poster, that this might actually be written seriously.
