these two teams are loaded with talent. Comparing the rosters makes me realize the gap talent wise between the Giants and these two division rivals. Depressing...

A lot of it comes down to drafting. Years of bad drafting has really set this franchise back. I know people are hyped up about the cap space this team has next offseason, but until they start drafting better this won’t get fixed anytime soon.
I don’t view the Skins as a contending NFC team right now. Only compared the Giants with Dallas and Philly since both are considered SB contenders in the conference.
Blaming the state of the team today on decisions Reese made a lifetime ago doesn't make sense to me.
This Giants team is chalk full of early round picks and players Gettleman acquired through trades.
The Giants aren't compromised of a bunch rag tag UFAs like last year. These are players Gettleman spent considerable resources to get.
This shit takes time. I'll worry about the talent gap if it turns out Baker, Big Dex, Carter, Hernandez, etc. all suck.
this strikes me as a fair point. snacks was having knee problems though, iirc. may've been dogging it. we don't know how bad things got with certain players.

Huh ? JR was fired 18 months ago!
lol
A couple of more drafts like the last 2 and we are right there. chill. The team had no talent depth what so ever. 2014-16 zero players

I think it's reasonable to blame Reese for very bad drafts 3, 4 and 5 years ago, which have a HUGE impact on our current roster.
The eagles and cowpies have multiple important players from those drafts. We don't. (at least we got something for OBJ)

Very few teams have many, if any players 7-10 years ago.

This is vomit inducing
