Beckham inactive indication of Lauletta sighting soon?

Jolly Blue Giant : 12/9/2018 11:13 am
Maybe this is a stretch, but I feel like Beckham not playing today shows that Shurmur isn’t selling out to win the rest of the games and feels comfortable with his job status. Last season, despite being eliminated from the post season, I felt McAdoo wasn’t playing Webb, but played Geno, becuase he felt he gave them their best chance to win, and subsequently save his job. If this was a playoff, Beckham would probably be playing. Maybe, once officially eliminated, Shurmur will give Lauletta playing time becuase its best for the future and not this season.
agree

we need to figure out if we are going to draft a QB in the first round.

OBJ not playing has anything to do with it but if we lose I agree its time for Kyle.
Hell no

You think a coach would loom forward to playiplaying a rookie with question marks with no OBJ and this OL?
Could be the plan if  
TMS : 12/9/2018 11:26 am : link
it is explained up front to ELI, that he will be back next year and this is part of the search for the next QB. If Lauletta is not potentially that guy the sooner we know the better. It has been the pattern at other positions, notably the OL. Try them out and if that are not what we want dump them and move on.
Anything's possible, but I seriously doubt it

It is a complete stretch.

I think Beckham is hurt and this is a meaningless game.
To clarify  
Jolly Blue Giant : 12/9/2018 11:31 am : link
I'm not suggesting it happens this week. Especially with OBJ out. I'm suggesting that the overall philosophy of this coach is different from last year regarding a "must win" attitude for the rest of the year.
don't have to explain a thing to Eli  
mdthedream : 12/9/2018 11:38 am : link
if he hasn't figured out what is best for the Giants if we are eliminated than to bad.

A rare voice of reason. Thank you.

so, yeah, a stretch.
Ahhh the whimsical longings for Lauletta

it Continues to amaze how the benching of Eli last season and the here to for unheard of fan reaction, continues to cloud what should be a common sense issue.

Giants get 9’losses, time to see if Lauletta was worth drafting.
Was it a meaningless game

When Geno started ahead of Webb?
Lauletta is meaningless  
Chip : 12/9/2018 11:55 am : link
He was a good CAA QB not a great one. He will never be our starter.
One has nothing to do with the other.  
FStubbs : 12/9/2018 11:55 am : link
We haven't seen Lauletta yet because the team is 3-1 since the bye week and every game has been close.
If Mark Sanchez can start for a team

Why not Lauletta? What's up with this org, they always do strange nonsensical things?
OBJ got leg whipped  
Dave on the UWS : 12/9/2018 12:26 pm : link
that’s why he’s not playing. Otherwise status quo ( Shurmur wants to win every game). He’s more concerned with building a winning culture than seeing Lauletta. Having him dressed though always leaves that possibility open (which MAC did NOT do last year).
Beckham being inactive is an indication...

...that the Giants have a big investment in him, and it would be stupid to risk further damage when his effectiveness is likely to be curtailed anyway.

The team only has three WRs under contract beyond March. Let's see what Coleman and Fowler can do.

I thought for sure that we would see Lauletta play before the end of the year. I doubt that happens now unless Eli gets hurt. I also think now Eli will be back next year and they give Lauletta another year to develop without pressure.

Me neither. 2 separate situations.

Lauletta's presence will have no impact on drafting a QB. None whatsoever.

If they see a franchise QB on the board they will take him whether Lauletta plays this year or not.

This entire argument is stupid even by BBI standards.

there is a slight chance for a shocking playoff spot. And they are gonna go for it to get the hype back.

I am ok with this. Odell will play when he is fit to play.
)-5 with a pick and it could have been picks.

He's the answer alright.
