Dave Gettleman is an unmitigated disaster

Essex : 3/12/2019 8:29 pm
“We didn’t sign him to trade him,”
Damn right you don’t, because now we are stuck with 16 million in dead cap money.

I have never seen a GM come in and misread the roster in the way that he did. He makes decisions not to trade LC and not get a pick.
He could have got rid of both Ov and OBJ and not been hit with 24 million in dead cap.

We now have a 38 year old QB, basically no WRs, and no defense. What is the point of all this?

And they are not cutting Eli—it’s not happening.

I am in shock and worried he will be the Giants Isiah Thomas, just a clueless person who will ruin this franchise even making it worse than it has been (which has been pretty bad since 2013).
Agreed 100%

What does that matter, we know Mara's a clueless eejit.
Think about Giants football the last seven years

I'm starting to think this was Accorsi's doing

to make his Reese recommendation look a lot better.

Next to fucking Gettleman, Bruce Allen looks like a genius.
At least Zac DeOssie will be locked in soon.

Gettleman doesn't care about anything  
Anakim : 3/12/2019 8:34 pm : link
He wants to build the team in his vision. Anyone associated with the former regime, good or bad, will be gone.

And that’s fine if it means Eli’s gone too. I still see no reason to pay him for 2019.
At this point, he's getting rid of Reese's picks

The trade. Call me crazy
Dave Gettleman can suck my sweaty fucking taint  
Hsilwek92 : 3/12/2019 8:37 pm : link
All the bullshit about needing to be blown away to trade their best WR and, he settled for a package of garbage.

Fuck him. Fuck Mara. Fuck Tisch.

No - we're calling that stupid. Plain, run of the mill, stupid.
Absolutely

You're crazy. Even if it was their first 3rd it'd be poor but the fact it's their late 3rd is just fucking madness. Dangle the carrot, if they want him you can get their 1st 3rd.
Next year someone has to pick up the pieces  
WillieYoung : 3/12/2019 8:43 pm : link
of this shattered franchise. I've never seen a guy take over a three win franchise and make it significantly worse. Shurmer is now coach of the Browns Part II. Is there an NFL rule he can't have any talent on the teams he coaches?

Why would he need to do that? Reese won 2 Superbowls. The Reese recommendation was the right one - no need to prove anything.

I don't necessarily agree with this line of thinking but at the moment I can't refute it either.

I'll just think right now that he decided the Giants wouldn't be competitive the next couple of years, so get what he could for Beckham.
I like what he's doing  
Joey in VA : 3/12/2019 8:48 pm : link
I really do.
I’ll wait to make a final rational judgment  
Vanzetti : 3/12/2019 8:48 pm : link
But right now, I’m disgusted and DG appears really to be a clown.

He has now traded away the six or seven most talented players on the team he nherited for very little in return

True but unfortunately his vision appears to be from the 1970s.
Macadoo got fired for benching Eli  
mattyblue : 3/12/2019 8:51 pm : link
and Gettleman trades Odell for garbage and doesn’t get fired.
I am not happy with the trade at all.  
DonnieD89 : 3/12/2019 8:54 pm : link
I will, however, reserve my judgment on DG and see what he does. I do understand that Odell Beckham Was out for the last four games with a bruise. Tough football players play through this. Ask Lawrence Taylor.
I think everyone needs to wait until all the info comes out

I kind of agree that normally we should wait but how do you explain all the dead cap money and the seemingly incoherent blueprint he has executed since being here.

Oh, I'm sure the Giants can manufacture some bullshit to cover their asses, like how Odell would cruelly spit in Gettleman's Metamucil and hide his Depends.

So the franchise that's had a losing record 5 out of the last 6 years? and that was with OBJ! Now it's destroyed?!

Wait for all the info

IE put the stories out there that make this look less bad for the Giants
Good trade  
Lambuth_Special : 3/12/2019 9:23 pm : link
Giants were over-invested in the skill positions. Now they can spend their newly acquired draft capital on premium positions.

The dead money is bad but what are you going to do, they aren't winning this year anyway.
