Leonard giving 4 alternative scenarios of what could have been and saying most of these would have improved the roster for the better...
Ranks with the worst he has ever written. Hindsight is always 20/ 20.

We'd all be better off.
What if nobody here POSTED about Hack Leonard's articles? We'd be better off, and maybe he'd get laid off.
And I thought Uncle Ben was making rice . . .
However, being a proponent of they should have drafted Darnold, I don’t think his first scenario is ridiculous. But if Jones turns out as good or better than Darnold he ll be wrong there too.
Damn those big runs. That's like saying the giants wouldn't have 4 Superbowl championships if we hadn't won them.
And what manning - Beckham friction is he even talking about
I feel like I lose a few more brain cells with every article pat writes
Stopped reading. Nonsense

The Giants’ running game wasn’t great even with Barkley last season, though. His big runs skewed the final stats.

The Giants running game wasn't good, even with Barkley and those big runs. Forget about skewed stats.
What if Saquon Barkley is the greatest (or close enough) RB who has ever played the game? The physical attributes combined in a single player certainly make this possible.
What if Daniel Jones is the QB of the decade. Nothing of his arm talent, leg talent, physical stature, intelligence preclude this. The assumption presented that Sam Darnold will have a better career may turn out to be correct, but there is scant empirical evidence for this belief.
(Though you guys who think the ads are bad on this site should try surfing around the Daily News - holy hell).
Weird thing is the Giants have at least two beat reporters covering the team right now who seem to hate covering the Giants.
Aaaarggh this time of year is brutal.

Are we talking about Barry Sanders?
We should have hired Riddick
We should have drafted Darnold
Bullshit! Let them keep sleeping on Saquon!

Ben McAdoo, are you a sports writer now?
If Geno Smith isn't available this makes perfect sense
We should have hired Riddick
We should have drafted Darnold
Bullshit! Let them keep sleeping on Saquon!
People are amazingly stupid and information and facts are completely ignore, even with what SB showed last year and Darnold looked like a less tough Andy Dalton.
Just stop the crap about keeping Collins for a rebuild team.
I know it's the dead period, but hindsight articles like this are about as useless as immediate draft grades. And this one reads like someone has an axe to grind with DG.
The only reason to open this thread was to enjoy some of the inventive comments about how much Pat Leonard sucks...well played sir.
Just stop the crap about keeping Collins for a rebuild team.
Yeah exactly my thoughts.
His different scenarios, while different, are equally as shitty as reality.
Am I missing something here?
You never know if a different player would preform as well or better on another team. FA leave teams all the time and many don't live up to the contracts they sign. Some exceed expectations but a lot of times its the scheme that a player is successful in. I like some of the FA moves the Giants have done because the coaches know the players and the players have been successful in the scheme.
The Jury is out on the QB situation. We wont know for 3-5 years if it was good or bad. Haskins was drafted in the middle of the 1st round so a lot of teams passed on him, maybe they would have passed on Jones too but we'll never know.
I do know that the article was garbage, not well thought out and a really bad attempt to discredit Gettleman once again.
Just stop the crap about keeping Collins for a rebuild team.
You hate DG? That's an helluva expression for something that is meant to be merely entertainment.
Stopped reading. Nonsense
But is it?
Aaaarggh this time of year is brutal.
You post all year, don't you? That kind of makes the whole year brutal.
The guy’s a hack! What ifs?? Please!
