but then in hindsight, it becomes apparent that he dropped plenty of breadcrumbs. Whatever he says I'm sure it'll be analyzed to death and interpreted in a multitude of ways both by the media and here on bbi.
Gettleman on the Eli Manning question: "We will do what's in the best interests of the New York Giants. We're trying to build sustained success. That takes brutal honesty and some tough decisions."

Well, that's a not committal answer.
I wonder if they hope that Eli retires and makes the decision easy for them.

Last comment I heard him make was about it being a mistake to make emotional decisions (was asked about JJ and OV and how they performed, where he inherited their big contracts).
Also, don't advertise you are starting at 11:30 and instead begin a few minutes early.
like Eli wants to come back but cited the issues on the OL and the Offense in general to Eli. Which Eli countered with it picked up in the 2nd 1/2 after the OL got a tab bit better. To which Dave G said it needs to be better and that costs .... which leads into the paycut/restructure convo ... Eli will say he does not warrant a straight paycut and Dave G will say if you want better OL then work with me ... sounds like a very friendly team restructure happens vs a paycut (my choice and preference). Both sides has a little leverage and it is in both parties interest to meet in the middle for minimize any transitional "pains".
seems like it was not a fun conversation they had...here's hoping 10 makes it back to NYG for one more shot.
Yea it was candid but the he took me to the low post and won ... is telling in that Eli made some points but question is did his points resonate with Eli? If so where is the middle ground they can reach $$$ wise?
that is great for the giants as a franchise.
that means they will have the same candid convo with OV, and assess Collins value properly.
With Eli it means he is either back at a value that is workable for the cap and the team and his value.... or he is not. Which at this stage is the right thing.
but it is time for him to go. The Giants can gain 50% of the cap room they have now if he retires this year. No, Manning is not the only reason they were terrible, but there are holes all over this roster (especially on defense) and young talent is not cheap.
None of the teams drafting in front of them are desperate for a QB, except maybe for Tampa Bay. It's time to build this team the way most successful teams are: with a good, cheap rookie QB, which allows you to spend a ton of resources elsewhere.
Why does it feel like the Giants are always behind the curve Â
and let the guys ask the questions we deserve to have answered. Should've put Gettleman up for a bye week presser. Other teams have their GM's answer questions during the year. Not their fault they've had to wait a whole season to ask him anything.
He is usually pretty interesting. Hopefully he talks about having a plan to attack this offseason and about cap flexibility
-Need to finish games
-Will look into all avenues to improve team
-Eli can still play
Wait....wrong guy....
Well, that's a not committal answer.

I’m not sure if it’s going to be over money, NYG drafting a QB or Eli’s own retirement but I think it’s over.
haha
Seriously, come on...
cut feed.
You have a team worth billions and they continue to suck with their online platform. Unbelievable

Competitive nature gives him encouragement
Did not commit to Eli
Defense must improve
C'mon guys, think.

The TEAM wins and loses. Not 1 player.
Eli is the starting QB in 2019 with a better OL and better Defense.
1) Giants scored the most points in NFC East.
2) Giants allowed the most points in the NFC East.
that means they will have the same candid convo with OV, and assess Collins value properly.
With Eli it means he is either back at a value that is workable for the cap and the team and his value.... or he is not. Which at this stage is the right thing.
so that is positive if that is the case
