Sam Darnold Mic'd Up - Dave Gettleman Fuk'd Up

to the playoffs.
Link - ( New Window )

a question that can be answered anytime soon. Barkley has played really well, and if the Giants draft high and get a good QB Gettleman made the right move. If Barkley fizzles out after 6 years or something and Darnold has an Eli length career iwith success, Gettleman will look foolish.

I know this seems to get brought up a lot, but it can’t be answered anytime soon. Everyone knew that Barkley would come in and be very good from the start but the question will be what happens long term.

Right now, Barkley is very fun to watch. Without him, the Giants would be completely boring, but we would have the feeling that we had a QB waiting in the wings to take over.

don’t believe it’s so much Barkley vs Darnold as it is Gettleman being able to successfully rebuild after having picked Barkley and passed on a QB.

Ne he didn’t.

Barkley was a mistake because Darnold was mic'd up?

There are some strange qb evaluation techniques available here on this forum for anyone to adopt.

In another thread Darnold didn't pass a posters franchise qb evaluation because of Darnold having a "durr" face.

In fact maybe I'll steal these techniques, pass them off as my own and right a worst selling book. 💡

thread in a while, good timing!

You fuk'd up with this redundant post.

Yup, when will the nonsense stop?

Until my daughter graduates college in 2036! YAY!

And that Darnold has a very good career, and maybe wins a single Superbowl, just so we can have threads like this for the next 30 years. Long after both are retired, posters on BBI can write fan fiction about what would have happened if the Giants had drafted Darnold. It will be the question that never gets old, no matter how many times it is asked.

Maybe Eric should pin a Barkley v Darnold post at the top of the forum and we can just leave it there for 30 years?

Ah, a sensible post. Well done.

I'm just waiting for the Jets to Santonio Holmes his ass, which Woody invariably will.

Is how many posters annoyed and disgusted by these threads continue to click on them.

For me, looks like Barkley is as advertised and Darnold is what I thought he d be after watching him in college.

Because we’ve never seen a young qb play pretty well and lead pretty well and have a pretty good career. It’s obvious that based on these 5 weeks of data that darnold is going to be one of the best QBs of his generation. Am I right? No way darnold is merely a pretty good or even a good player but one doesn’t transform a franchise. No way. Nope. He’s either going to be the worst qb ever or the best qb ever. BBI tells me so every day.

If Darnold was our QB, and had a that kind of game against one of our opponents, y'all would be creaming yourpants that we hit the mother load at QB heh.

DOn't know how you couldn't love Darnold after talking to him pre-draft. This kid is going to be really good.

I love his game mentality. He is like 21 - right?

Jets fans have something to look forward to.
Giants fans get to watch Barkley tear it up while we lose games. Sucks.

worse. The debate shouldn’t even start until we know who our QB of the furure is though. I’d even suck for another year for Tua, but Barkley doesn’t mean shit if our QB position is bleak for the next 5 years.

But the leadership, poise, and killer instinct he displayed at the end of the game. I absolutely Loved what he said to the huddle...." Let's put a dagger in their hearts."

If Darnold does not take the Jets to the Super Bowl and WIN and Barkley has a HOF career, I'll be OK. It's about CHIPS at the end of the day.

True, but unless he wins a CHIP, who cares.

Like Mayfield did to him.

Yeah, I guess Darnold is the only QB in history that can do all that...we sure missed out.

Yet..

Only the "greats' do it constantly. Only time will tell.

When Darnold is mic’d up in the SB. Like Eli.

I also believe he won't be seen as the best or even 2nd best thing we could have done with the 2nd pick in the draft we look back on the draft with the benefit of hindsight. On the other side of the coin, he will be far from the worst thing we could have done with the pick. Debating it is dumb in my opinion because this will be an inevitable outcome.

I'm over it though. We should enjoy Barkley for the special player he is and move on. There are other QB prospects coming out, guys that are playing today, and we will be picking somewhere between 1-10 in the draft. Focus on those guys and not Darnold.

Yeah, what a novel discussion.

Your opinion will change if Saquon is mic'd up and shows better leadership. Smh. Gotta be trolling.

picked 3rd...

Fuck outta here with that horseshit.

I was thinking the same thing.

I read "leader of men" and it is hard to read further without seeing a fucking agenda at hand.

This is what Washington screamed before he crossed the Delaware. Leader of men

A young man of just 21 years of age "leading MEN" on that football field. He has he it factor fellas. Let's revisit in a few years .

Go back when Eli started and you had Plax and Shockey leading him. Eli only eventually led soon after..

But you get the jist.

Actually, the quote (not mine) was “I do not like his arm, his durr face or his ability to lead.”

But it’s much easier to cherry pick the one throw-away word and build an entire false narrative over it. This is why conversations in this place are normally pointless.

Durr face disqualifies any other reasonable observation. How can I take anyone serious who uses that as part of player evaluation? Seems to me you whiffed.

Sport not accurate at all. I’ll take Barkley. Just please stop the BS. Our future QB will be here in a year or two.

Darnold does sort of look like the love child of Herman Munster and Rocky Dennis...

Except, you didn’t write a post “disqualifying” his observation. You took two words of his post and created a whole different narrative for yourself. It’s the “BBI Special”.

Anyone with half a brain can see it was a dumb, pointless addition to his point of view. But that’s the low hanging fruit that some people are only able to attack. Don’t think I’m the one that whiffed. But I’ll try to throw some soft balls out there for you.

Lol, it wasn’t my comment. I’ve got no dog in this fight.

If Giants get a quality QB in the next draft, then Barkley was the right pick.

He disqualified his own analysis with a critique that has zero to do with playing qb. That comment was an easy clue that the poster knows 0 about what a Qb's job is.

Deneanor, appearance, communincation, intelligence, charisma are all important. Amukamara dropped because he had duur face, staffs did not like his demeanor. Of course Reese saw his measurable and decided to throw him into a Tampa 2 defense.

Geno Smith has duur faced, got punched by his own teammate. Ryan Leaf had duur face.

We had to deal with the Eli/Ben R./Rivers threads for about a decade, now we get to deal with these for years.

if you want your franchise to be busted.

I'm sure the Jets are happy with Darnold. I believe the Giants are happy with Barkley. I know I am. Let it go already. For all we know, we have our future QB on the 53 now. I like Lauletta and obviously so does Shurmur and Gettleman.

He's displaying some wonderful leadership characteristics at such a young age. What's really most important though is his preparation and dedication to the game. He's a self starter. He leads himself first. He has a high football IQ and is always focused on improving. Sanchez tried to be a leader too, but he didn't quite have the feel and understanding for the game that Darnold has. Fitzpatrick was also a good leader but lacks the physical tools to make him a long term success

Darnold will yet take his lumps. Plenty of 'em, but it's great to see him display so many great qualities early in his career.

If Darnold made these comments as a Giant BBI would be covered in reproductive fluids.
