he won because he wore a pepsi blue sports coat.

no fumbles! Great job, #26.

49 times out of 50, you take the highly rated QB over the highly rated RB. Barkley represents the one time you don't.

Coolest player in football.

and do we really need to repeat their name to talk football?

And where is the Coke, McDonalds, Honda ROTY?

Hell, here's an idea, where the fuck is the NFL ROTY?

Such fucking bullshit with all this branding... makes me want to vomit.

Sky's the limit for SB several plays this season were
incredible . The over the top TD's from a yard or two out
were unreal .We will see many of those ..

Yes, that's EXACTLY why the drafted the person who was regarded - bar none - as the most talented player in the entire draft.

You always whine that the team should stockpile talent, even if they feel they are "stacked" at a certain position. Build on a strength, you have said more than once. Draft for talent over need, you have said more than once.

Well, they drafted the player universally regarded as the best player, and you are still bitching they didn't take a QB.

Taking a QB would have been drafting for need instead of BPA, which is exactly why you preach against...

The Giants are going to keep personal the same model that they've been; based on the franchise QB. THEY value the quarterback above all, and they are going to try to replace Eli with another Eli.

And they passed up on a great opportunity to do that. And now they're looking at a much poorer QB draft, and an even more severe quarterback hole.

taking Saquon with the 2 pick last year was the right choice, is certainly up for debate...but it's a moot point. He's our RB, he's fucking amazing on and off the gridiron. I'm happy for him and happy he's a Giant.

why don't you just root for the jets, who drafted your favorite . . . Most of your argument against SB is because he went to Penn St., who you want burned to the ground.
You make me sick. Just STFU.

"Giants fans are smarter than the average NFL fan."

a giants fan. Since 1956.

When Shcokey won this back in 2003, was anybody bitching?

It gets announced at the awards dinner before the super bowl.

This is just a fan award.

are subconsciously rooting for Barkley to NOT win ROY, and if he does will minimize it...

Step back and think about that, as a Giants fan.

use chances like this to indirectly second-guess the SB pick doesn't mean they don't want him to perform well/get awards. Nor does it outweigh the other 70+ guys on this thread that simply support him winning.

And lets not drag yours and anyone else's subconscious on BBI into a thread please...ever

it's f-cking weird.

The guy is likely going to be the AP Rookie of the Year. He's had a HISTORIC rookie season. Something only done twice before.

At this point, how can anybody still be complaining about this pick?

We are rebuilding. He is part of the solution. A big part of it. He is the future of this team.

It's not enough to be a fan of a player, everybody has to agree with how awesome and great it is too or you're a 'hater'.

"fan of the player"??

This sounds like being a big fan!

Nothing there about saying Barkley is a good player - in fact, seems like he's just a reason the team is not going to win.

Really could have just been a straightforward thread about Saquon having a great year.

that every fan of the NYG should be aligned as to what matters or in how they choose to be a fan.

You really are delicate.

I'd like to think thoughtful fans can separate wanting a different, valid direction for the team and Barkley having a subjectively fantastic season. Not mutually exclusive.

But the Pepsi People's Choice Award brought to you by what's essentially a clickbait internet survey isn't exactly an honor.

Why is a vote by a bunch of sportswriters any more honorable?

Because conceivably more thought is put into the vote than clicking a name between watching Baby Shark remixes and Frye Festival memes?

If you say so. Maybe you can check out which exemplary sportswriters vote for these things. Agendas, lack of football comprehension, and peer pressure abound among many of them.

You can use this to broadly discredit anything. Which leaves what? Damn sure not fan opinion.
