Marc Ross answering DG "no longer having" culture issues

George from PA : 4/22/2019 7:09 pm
I think DG was talking more about Ross, the coaches and less on Collins/OBJ.

I think its disgusting for the NFL network to ask the guy he fired...what he meant.

I am rooting harder and harder for DG.

From OBJ

Kim Jones Chimes in and is annoying.
Anyway, DG comments made front news

on NFL Total Access.
What Ross said?  
George from PA : 4/22/2019 7:12 pm : link
Some players they balanced between charecter and talent...

Basiclly, put it all on the collins and mostly OBJ.

Joked avout no longer saying they do not give up on talent
Snark is the default for anyone on Twitter

Who wants to feel like they are part of the in crowd. It’s part of what makes the platform intolerable. So I assume that’s where Kim is coming from.

Marc Ross is just an idiot I wouldn’t listen to anything he has to say. Failed talent evaluator trying to hang around the league and make a living.
Who the hell

Cares what Marc, I scout like a blind grandmother, Ross has to say?

I took his comment to mean the players.

I'm not sure how Ross would affect team culture on game day.

So calling a stranger on a message board an “idiot” is more suitable behavior?

ran two franchises into the ground with his terrible drafting. Not only is he clearly a poor talent evaluator but he has a reputation for being lazy. Fuck Marc Ross.
Yeah I guess it's fine  
Oscar : 4/22/2019 7:29 pm : link
why not? Marc Ross is an idiot. There, I did it again.

If OBJ was the culture problem....why sign him to a longterm deal?

And

I took his culture issues statement to be for the entire organization...players certainly but especially Reese and Ross, not addressing their mistakes, the primary reason why it was 8 years of lousey OL.

Prefer to save face....then truly resolve a problem.

DG cut bait....with no care at all, to save face....very refreshing

He certainly meant McAdoo

What did Ross say?

This.
As little regard as I have for Dave Gettleman  
Greg from LI : 4/22/2019 8:09 pm : link
I certainly have much, much less for Marc Ross, the man who bears the lion's share of the blame for the collapse of the Giants.

I don't think he reacted the way they thought he would. But I think it was pretty clear they felt Apple, Snacks, Vernon, and maybe Collins were an issue too.

Look, Gettleman has been pretty straight forward about this, but he is not going to name names.
What has Marc Ross done to merit  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 4/22/2019 8:24 pm : link
criticism of anyone else? Also, he got fired from this organization. I doubt he's pulling for us to succeed.

this is true though Mara also interviewed him for the GM position.
Maybe Gettleman was talking about guys like Flowers and Hart,

two beauties that Ross brought in.

Good point. He gutted the roster last year. We could be talking about 5, 10, 15, 20, etc guys here.
maybe DG  
SuperRonJohnson : 4/22/2019 8:37 pm : link
was referring to Ross. What a joke making comments about the Giants when he really is responsible for a lot of Giant mistakes.
The fact that Gettleman fired his ass isn't even mentioned  
yatqb : 4/22/2019 8:43 pm : link
by the folks at NFL Network. What a travesty.
Ross acts like..  
Ryan : 4/22/2019 8:57 pm : link
...someone who knows they'll never work another day in the NFL.
Ross brought in Flowers and Hart?  
Giant John : 4/22/2019 8:58 pm : link
There is nothing else to say.
Ross was fired  
McNally's_Nuts : 4/22/2019 9:33 pm : link
Like 10 hours after Gettleman was hired.

“Basketball on grass!”
...  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 4/22/2019 9:35 pm : link
I will say that I heard from someone within the organization recently who basically parroted what Gettleman said and how he said it, "We're going to get this thing fixed."

He’s doing it the right way, Atleast in my eyes
The one thing I remember  
TrueBlue56 : 4/22/2019 9:52 pm : link
About Reese and Ross (and I may not be 100% accurate on tnis) was John Mara literally having to tell them to go to some college football games and scout these quarterbacks that may be coming out in the draft.

This is faulty logic.

First Marc Ross was hired by the Giants in May of 2007. He was partly responsible for good draft picks like Mario Manningham, Kenny Phillips, Hakeem Nicks, JPP, Linval Joseph, Odell Beckham Jr, Evan Engram, and Landon Collins...

Secondly, Marc Ross helped the Giants win another superbowl in 2011. Without Ross this team doesn't have its 4th championship.

Maybe Ross was good at drafting some players and "maybe" is pushing it. Gettleman came on in 1999 and was pro personnel director. His role was to run the drafts (As it was for Ross when he became pro personnel director). While Gettleman was here we went to 3 superbowls. Ross takes over and Gettleman leaves for the Panthers and well we all know what happened, so to give Ross credit is ridiculous when he didn't have that title.

Once again look at Gentleman's track record and look at Ross. There is a reason Ross is still unemployed by NFL teams.
Ross was Reese's biggest mistake.  
FStubbs : 4/22/2019 11:41 pm : link
Reese's eye for talent declined sharply as he left more and more to Ross. Eventually Reese even stopped getting the first round right.
Both Reese and Ross were incompetent  
TMS : 4/23/2019 2:20 pm : link
ruined a great team. They were on the payroll for five years too long. Glad it is over. Did either get a job yet ? thought not.
so what did Ross say?

Exactly, DG was clearly referring to Odell, and to a lesser extent, Collins. As much as we loved Odell's talent, we don't know how bad he may have been acting in the locker room and/or practice field.
We don't know who he was referring to. A lot of players that were on  
Ira : 4/23/2019 2:34 pm : link
the Giants when Gettleman arrived are no longer there - not just OBJ, Vernon and Collins.
Wasn’t the word on Ross that he was lazy?  
trueblueinpw : 4/23/2019 2:37 pm : link
I seem to remember people saying that Ross and Reese had become lazy. I do think there were problems throughout the organization and it wouldn’t surprise me if there was a lack of hard work by Ross and even Reese.
That's nice,  
RollBlue : 4/23/2019 3:02 pm : link
that DG is changing the culture. However, still have a culture of poor coaching, game manangement, poor FA signings if last year is any indication, and still in QB Hell. Until QB get fixed...........
