Enlightening thoughts from Chris Wesseling and Bill James

and this misses any point that was made

anymore.
Well, in the long shot chance to make the playoffs

He wasn’t on the field, so, he didn’t factor in either way. Tough to make an impact winning games missing 16 games your last two seasons here.
Shouldn't this drivel be in Elite Mobsters thread?

this post really is about the dumbing down of America

Hmm Is he referring to Eli as our best player?

Very often the team ends up focusing on what their best player DOESN'T do, and thus attributes their collective failure to the star.


Based on the focus that Eli can't do this or that and he is to blame for the team's failure, then the hypothesis that Eli is our best player is proven true.
It doesn't..

even pertain though. Nobody postulated that we were bad because of Beckham. He was traded to avoid future headaches and meltdowns and to get value, not an assessment of how responsible he was for the losing.

Tons of people on BBI blame Giants record on OBJ. Fat Mike on WFAN has a lot of followers.. the overall situation reminds me a lot of Ewing..
Odell wasnt our best player

Last year, Barkley was.

Anyone calling him a cancer?

Say how we would be better without his distractions?

How many fights has he gotten into with other players?

How many times did he call out his QB / coach?

Did he do any really inappropriate calibrations?

OBJ is a hell of a talent... but he is also an ass hole. He is gone... stop being little bitches and go root for Cleveland
So much negativity

towards those who want to discuss the OBJ trade and don't have a positive view of it.

This poster saw something that resonated with him and some of you guys say he's not a real fan because he's upset one of our best players got traded? Unreal.

English is my friend? What now? LOL.

How about the person immediately commenting before me saying to root for the Browns. As though he's only a OBJ fan and not a Giants fan.

I wouldn't say nobody. Go Terps certainly blamed Beckham.

No, they'll just pretend they loved the trade from the start!

If it's a Bill James quote, it's most likely related to basketball where "stars" have a much bigger impact on the outcomes and are expected, especially by fans, to carry their teams regardless of circumstances.

Uhhh, if it's a Bill James quote, it's most likely related to baseball because Bill James is most related to baseball.
