So we all acknowledge that our O-line cant run block....at all. So when Saquon goes out and gets hit behind the line as soon as he touches the ball, all the blame goes to the O-line..."how can ANY back run behind this line?". Yet, when Stewart does the same thing, he is a piece of crap waste who shouldn't even be in the league.
Not saying he was a great, or even a good, signing, but it sure does seem like there is a double standard here, especially when you consider that Saquon is already considered to be one of the best backs in the league.

Difference is Saquon has the ability to break tackles and make guys miss and turn nothing into a huge play. Stewart getting hit in the backfield is just going to result in negative yards.
That said, plenty on BBI bemoan all the negative runs Saquon has.

Oh, no doubt, a blind person can see that there is a huge gap in the talent levels of these two guys. Im just saying that I think that while Stewart has been a bust of a signing, I think he is taking a little too much heat for his performance when you consider the state of the line. I would not expect JS to be able to break those tackles, make something out of nothing. Thats not him, never was. Barkley is special; thats why we took him at 2. My expectation of JS was a short yardage back, get the 2-3 yards when its needed. And that is pretty hard to do when you are running in to a brick wall.
I was hoping they would bring Nick Gates back. He was a well regarded UDFA signing who could benefit from late season practice time. Does anyone remember what his ‘injury’ was?

I think it was a foot injury, but I admit I'm not sure. In any event, I don't want to have to cut anyone to make room for Stewart.
(Not counting last year's disaster) before opening BBI I would hope that nothing bad had happened since the last time I'd visited the site...with "bad" meaning injuries, awful trades or arrests.
These days, just before I click the BBI link, all I can think of is... "I wonder if the Giants have done anything stupid since the last time I was on the site."
It sucks, but at least this year I'm not as worried about injuries spoiling our season.
So what if Stewart returns, he is not keeping anyone else from returning of any consequence.
Don't the Giants have to drop someone currently on the active roster if they take him off IR?
I think the team gets a couple of weeks exemption to determine whether to activate the player. He can practice, but he's not part of the active roster yet
Now if your argument is that he's taking a roster spot - perhaps an OL or DL who could actually contribute - then you might have a point.
Otherwise, this reeks of some sort of gentleman's handshake (or Gettleman's handshake if you're nasty) under the table where DG promised Stewart a spot for the entire season. That's all I can think of at this point. They make trades and release players, yet Stewart is still here?
We should have a bonus for least valuable player.
Guess not.

Beal can't return, he didn't make the opening day 53-man.

Haha, so funny, I literally thought the same exact thing before I even clicked on this, amazing that this was the first comment on the whole thread.

No one, eh?

Yes, this is the missing part. Going to run thre table now.
WHY!!!!!!
Charlie Donovan: On how we can get worse?
Rachel Phelps: Mmmmm...
Charlie Donovan: How about a series of fines for good play? Maybe a $30,000 bonus to the guy voted Least Valuable Player.
Rachel Phelps: Maybe the problem is... we're coddling these guys too much. Yeah!

We're winning this division.

I'd rather see them dress 3 QB's in case Eli goes down, we can go to Lauletta rather than Tanney.
