I was as shocked as anyone when I saw th pinned thread. And the compensation gives me pause. Beckham is a great player and I loved watching him play. However...
"No guts no glory"
DG said this himself and there's no denying, the guts are there. There's something to be said about the balls it takes to make a move like this. You know it's gonna be unpopular. You know it's gonna be a large part of your legacy and if you are in fact wrong, you're never gonna live it down. And you pull the trigger anyway. Im shocked and part of me is bummed he's gone but fuck it, I'm in.
Let's see what happens. What else does this mad man have in store? Couldn't be worse than the last few years, right? Who knows, maybe this is the collective BBI's "WHY IS TYREE IN THERE?!?!?" moment (sorry Anak) and the turnaround will be traced to this date. If you don't think it's possible you're kidding yourself. This team was good before Beckham. It will be good after him. And to be honest, it was never actually very good with him. Now that may not be his fault, but going in a different direction may be what's needed,
Anyone else interested in talking about where this is headed instead of just bitching? Check in here
Expect the Daniel Jones love to heat up.
So far, I've only really gotten shit for the baseball team I root for and a lot of posters talking over each other about how the Giants are now the worst team in the history of professional sports.
I think we probably made the right football move today.
I've always loved watching Beckham play, had always hoped he'd get to win here, but obviously whatever was going on behind the scenes wasn't going to work itself out and wasn't worth the headache.
I still really hope we cut bait on Eli and use the cap space to bolster other parts of the team and either swing a trade for Rosen or take our guy in the draft. I have to see where we go with the QB spot.
But long-term, I think this made sense.
If Gettleman has to be the bad guy, so be it.

Or any other QB in this draft.

Fuck that.
Maybe it's a completely different plan than what DG had when he took the job, but the two worst things he could do were to commit to a failing vision, or refuse to change course.
Can you?
At least 2019 won't be the same team.
LET'S GO.
Can you?
NOTHING is off the table. Buckle up!
This is Barkley, hand the ball to the ref, act like you have been there before team now. We are going old school with big oline, best rb, and now lets build the d.
This is the most patriot style operation that we have seen.
We lost with OBJ, we can lose without him.
I am still in shock and it sucks it didnt work out with OBJ but this was the right move for this franchise today.
Also, call me a get off your lawn type but I have to be honest, it will be much more enjoyable being able to follow this franchise without the constant OBJ drama. Its not all his fault, a lot of it was the media, but make no mistake. It is/was CONSTANT!

Even as a big fan of the player, it was exhausting.
Part of me feels honest relief.

I'd like this more if they cut Eli. They're like companion moves. This is a clear indication you're rebuilding, despite saying all the "right" things in the press. There's no dipping your toe in this pool, you gotta just jump in.
Nobody is tuning out the Giants over this move, regardless of what their emotions are causing them to say.
Go Giants
Cmon man have some class. BBI is a family corner forum.

LOLOL I just snorted a Coke in through my nostrils and choked on it. Great post and thanks we're all a little on edge and needed that. Still laughing....

This made me giggle.
I still am just a bit in shock. But he also bet me O'Dell was going to be looking for more guaranteed money and soon. Then I saw this
"They are already talking contract upgrade in Cleveland. Good luck Browns. You will need it."

I dunno, this might've broken some people lol. And just wait til Beckham goes for 200 and 2 scores and eclipses our entire passing offense one Sunday next fall. It's gonna be unbearable lol.

That was a Francessa tweet ^^
Old calculator head in Foxboro would say: Future risk adjusted return on a small, quicks and cuts based WR with lots of leg injuries and who missed 25% of the games over the last five years ( played in 59 out of sixty games) is at least a debate.
The return could be 4 players. A better than average safety plus two draft picks plus the cap room to add one more very good FA.
The poor return for Collins was a mistake. Not signing OBJ would have been a round 3 comp pick?
The emotional whipsaw that fans ride during a turnaround and memories of better times gets in the way but better a rebuild than ignoring a rebuild
If he flips this into two elite pass rushers, which is certainly possible, no one will lament this trade.
There are a ton of realistic scenarios where the Giants end up with two great players, guys that win you championships, at 6 and 17.
Good post. We really do need 2 decent WRs now, that's the only thing scary to me.
First order of business is getting a mailing list together, cuz fuck the internet. After that we slander any draft prospect with a sizeable social media presence (this might require social media use). After that we go after Goodell. That smug prick has embraced technology and expansion for about as long as I'm willing to take it.
I think there's a decent chance you don't.
