Terrific player. Terrific guy.
This team now has by far the worst roster in the entire league. If you draft a running back #2, you better be ready to win quickly because his prime starts immediately.
As great of a player as he is, a top running back on an awful team does no good. He has a ton of value to another team. Get rid of him for a big return now and tear this entire thing down.
They will never do it, but they absolutey should.
Dave Gettleman steering this rebuild should frighten the hell out of everyone. I would actually be good with this plan if they didnt have a total clown as GM.
Fire the GM. Fire the Coach. Trade Barkley.
Go all in on a total rebuild, in every way
The Giants just traded your best friend on the team and essentially admitted they aren't trying to win anytime soon.
Barkley will be worn out and due for a big contract by the time the team is ready to compete.
Barkleys prime started last September. If you want to bet on Barkley being the rare running back whose prime lasts a decade, a list that is blank, go ahead.
This team is further away from winning a title than any in the league. There is zero scenario where this roster will be able to compete for a title in two years.
Then at that point its time to pay Barkley and pray that he doesnt wind up like almost every other running back, even the best ones.
He has no value on this team. A great running back on a horrible team. Shurmur will run him into the ground to win meaningless games.
Under no circumstance should a GM be allowed to steer the ship of a rebuild after just the year prior going all in on contending in 2018.
This is not an indictment on Barkley. Hes terrific.
I dont even really want a QB this year. The tank needs to be on and accumulate as many assets for the future as possible. Ezekiel Elliott is a terrific player, but on a bad team how valuable would he be?
Trade everyone. No one would be safe outside of will hernandez if I were GM
Why not trade Barkley for a 1st and a 2nd? At this point, this dumpster fire isn't amounting to anything anyway, might as well let the kid go on to have a career somewhere.
So then you have wasted 3 years of Barkleys prime and you’re one year away from having to pay him big money.
The Giants will never do it. But for the long term success of the franchise, it should be done. The Giants are going to be horrible with or without Saquon Barkley the next two years.
The same people saying out the bottle down and laughing would have said the same thing last year if anyone suggested trading Beckham.
This is a sinking ship. Trade everyone of value besides Hernandez
They’ll reportedly ask for the moon but, will obviously settle for below that.
This. At this point it's worth considering.
After spending stupid money on bad FAs last season thinking he can make a run, then extending OBJ only to trade him shortly thereafter - I'd say there's enough on the books to fire Gettleman right now. He can have the next guy trade Barkley.
Worst fucking GM in NFL history right here.
At this point, I agree with u, trade this pick and get more, fuck it, can’t hurt anymore than this shit
Nobody (well most) aren't happy. But gee whiz. Just because they didn't rape Cleveland doesn't mean the trade wasn't fairly good. JonC was just saying this afternoon that after the AB trade, the market would not be that good for Odell. I don't like losing Odell. But a 1st, a 3rd, and a starting 22 year old safety who was a 1st rounder himself is not chump change.
