Remember when everyone wanted us to draft Rosen

eric2425ny : 10/18/2018 10:53 pm
over Barkley? I’ll take one of the “mistakes” in Rosen’s words Barkley over him any day of the week. He may end up being good, but his ego and comments have done him no favors thus far.

Picture this: the Cardinals have the 1st pick in the draft and they love Herbert. So rather than trade the pick, they trade Rosen instead. To the Giants!


Milton.

You're awesome. Don't ever change.
RBs are in their prime from day 1 - they also don’t last very long  
TD : 10/18/2018 11:53 pm : link
QBs don’t enter their prime until year 3 or 4 in most cases. And they last another dozen or so years after that.

IT factor? Does that stand for Inane Turnovers? The guy is more loose with his balls than a 90 old man in a YMCA locker room. Hi-yoooo!
I don’t actually  
BigBlue4You09 : 10/19/2018 12:32 am : link
Consensus here was pretty much Barkley, Mayfield or Darnold. Maybe a few outliers wanted to trade down for Rosen, but not “everyone”

First off, I wasnt a Rosen  
chopperhatch : 10/19/2018 12:50 am : link
fan, but this was only his 4th fucking start. So writing him off would be foolish to say tye least.

Second, when u say his comments arent negatively affecting his career, are we talking about only the draft comments? Like when he said it was a mistake that 9 other teams passed on him?

Unless he said other things, thats a stretch to hang on those comments as problematic. Silly
Remember when everyone wanted us to draft Rosen?  
GeofromNJ : 10/19/2018 1:31 am : link
Everybody didn't want us to draft Rosen over Barkley. Some of us wanted to draft Darnold over Barkley and some of us wanted to draft Allen over Barkley. Many of us were not the least bit interested in Rosen.
I don't think Rosen amounts to much but not because of tonight

If this season continues going to shit, I know I'd be in the minority but I might be at the point of saying tank for Tua in 20. Stock up big in the trenches in the upcoming draft and FA, and deal with one more year of shit.

Tough to swallow no doubt but I think I could deal with another year if it meant a decade of being a top team and hopefully even more than just that.


If Tua is the stud everyone thinks then why would a team that was pathetic and have the 1st pick trade him to you?

You see - I just think many of you are so clueless as to how you think it's so easy to find a QB. Yeah -- "we'll just trade for the superstar-- after all the other team that sucks can't wait to trade a a super prospect like Tua.

And if Gmen are so awful for 2 straight years posters such as yourself will say "We need more thna the QB."
There was no consensus  
fkap : 10/19/2018 1:54 am : link
For a while Rosen was the front runner, but there was a lot of concern about his concussions. Then the field got muddied. BBI wound up vocally in favor of Darnold, but there was a fair amount of varying opinions. Supposedly, Shurmur liked Allen, with no overall consensus for any QB.
It’ll be another year or two before we can really have a feel of how good the QB class is.
There were some fans who wanted Rosen  
UberAlias : 10/19/2018 5:16 am : link
But he was never in consideration by NYG. He was selected #10 as the 4th QB taken.
Based on the QBs available I was advocating Rosen  
Jimmy Googs : 10/19/2018 6:52 am : link
until the interviews/quotes of him kept coming out, even on draft day. His thought process was out of whack talking as such and it made me question his maturity/logic of the situation...

ZogZerg : 10/19/2018 7:11 am : link
What a shocker.

Remember, he is only playing because the High Priced QB, who broke a completion percentage record with Vikings, the cards picked up sucked so bad with this offense that they decided to go with the rookie.
The guy nobody talks about is mason rudolph.  
Spider56 : 10/19/2018 7:38 am : link
He’s doing it the old fashion way ... by earning it. He sits and learns behind Big Ben (He’s not a role model off the field, but he’s a leader on it) and mason will be ready when his time comes ... he may turn out to be the best of the bunch.

I would change it to:

He throws a nice ball and shows signs of a quality qb. Give it a few years and he'll be matt stafford like, we just depends on how the Cards will build around him to be successful.

I wanted Darnold over Rosen  
JoeyBigBlue : 10/19/2018 9:06 am : link
I wanted Darnold first

If Darnold wasn’t available then Barkley


I did like Rosen over Mayfield and Allen though.

Barkley has been fantastic  
Rudy5757 : 10/19/2018 9:18 am : link
And we're 1-5. I do love the kid and think he is special but his best years will be wasted on this team. I wanted Darnold and to see him doing well as a rookie with the Jets is a killer. I would rather be 1-5 with the future QB.

To say any of these rookies is a bust after only 6 games is a joke. Barkley was the best player in the draft. Unfortunately he plays a lower value position and a lower longevity position so the odds are against him having the best career.
Rosen  
AcidTest : 10/19/2018 9:40 am : link
plays for a bad team, and is a rookie. Please stop anointing or condemning rookie QBs. I didn't want Rosen, but it's way too early to judge him, Darnold, Allen, or Mayfield. Growing pains are inevitable.

arcarsenal : 10/19/2018 9:42 am : link
It is far too early to determine anything about Josh Rosen right now. This thread is fucking stupid. We're not even half a season in.

I'm thrilled with Saquon. But writing off a rookie QB on a terrible team with a rookie coach who looks like he's in over his head before even getting halfway through one season is absolutely moronic.

But I get it - it's 2018 and everyone needs to get their hot takes out there no matter how awful they are.
I wanted in this order....  
rasbutant : 10/19/2018 9:42 am : link
Sam Darnold
Trade Down (really thought the broncos would be the perfect trade partner)
J Allen
Rosen
Barkley
Chubb
I did not want a guard in the top 10.
I thought Ronald Jones would be better value in round 2 than Barkley at 2.
oh and i thought Lauletta might go to the pats in round 2. And that Mason Rudolph might in the long run be just as good as the top 4 and i liked him more than Jackson.

Maybe I should be fired from my GM position.
.  
arcarsenal : 10/19/2018 9:50 am : link
Beyond that, the thread title is just ridiculous in and of itself.

Who is "everyone" ?

Some people wanted Rosen, some didn't. It was nowhere near unanimous. Gross hyperbole only makes this even worse.

I never said to trade for him, I said tank for him and I might be able to deal with one more shitty year ( next season) in order to get him.

I'm not sure how you got me thinking we could trade for him from my post.

just like media/fans cramming the Darnold narrative down the Giants' throat, it's too early to call either one in their respective directions. Both may turn out to be true but jumping to conclusions on a small sample sizes is fool's errand. Confirmation bias is strong around these parts.

I've come to the conclusion that our o-line is nearly not as bad as the Cardinals o-line Lol. Their offensive line from left to right is absolutely atrocious. David Johnson hasn't gotten over the mental hurdle of coming off an injury yet, as evident by his going down on first contact numerous times last night.

There are idiots I guess and there are posters like you that are below them.


Let me dumb it down for you further-- Posters such as yourself today speak of tanking in 2019 and go after Tua in 2020 as thought it's a piece of cake. If you aren't going to trade for him- you have to make sure you are the worst team in football. So you said you are going to build up the trenches - get quality guys to come-- and with guys like Barkley and Beckham you're assured you are going to be the worst team in order to get Tuo? While you didn't say "trade for Tuo" - yet you're building up the team after this season to not be the worst (these guys will make B&B better) so how are you going to get Tuo? If you think Mara is going to build up the trenches and the quality players are going to come while the G-Men are losing with Lauletta if he is lousy then you're a complete but job.

So because it's obvious that you didn't think this through and are just talking out of your ass - when they really suck again in 2019 - you'll either find that the many guys you got for the trenches - some won't pan out plus you'll see for example the secondary sucks. You'll find another excuse to not take the QB because you didn't get "tuo" and you'll see other weaknesses.

Milton : 10/19/2018 5:23 pm : link
There are QBs who've had excellent rookie years but then tanked and QBs who've had very uninspiring rookie years who went on to greatness (or very goodness).

Milton : 10/19/2018 5:28 pm : link
...when "everyone" wanted Rosen. There were several different camps when it came to what the Giants should do with the first overall pick. Those who wanted a QB were split on which QB (with Rosen probably 2nd to Darnold in BBI popularity, but there were also those who liked Mayfield and Allen best). Then there was the Barkley camp which was pretty strong. And there was a large contingent on BBI who favored trading down for an OL or DL.

It always kills me when someone says "everyone" in reference to BBI.

So true. I was in "the take a QB" camp. Then it was a matter of paring it down to which one made the most sense. For the longest time I wanted Rosen because of those mechanics. I thought he was more gifted physically and mentally than Peyton Manning when Manning left Tennessee. But the concussions just bothered the hell out of me.

So I defaulted to Darnold. And I felt better after his individual workout at SC in the rain. He looked great.

Still can't believe Cleveland past on him after seeing Darnold's parents in the stands with Jimmy Haslem... ;)

Again let me dumb it down for you. You're looking for a 2020 move on a QB not a 2019 move. You're posts made it sound like it would be easy to get Tuo. That's all my posts basically said in that it's not as easy as tanking with Laluletta especially as you're pushing to get better across the board. But of course you aren't bright enough to understand.

You are the one that brought up Tuo. How do you expect the Gmen to get him while you suggest they build up the trenches? As you build up the trenches, the team in 2019 won't be worst or 2nd worst-- so how are you going to get him?
