Eagles and Cowboys rosters compared to the Giants

nyjuggernaut2 : 9/15/2019 8:54 pm

this isn't going to change quickly. I alluded to this problem in my game preview this week.
In fairness to Gettleman,

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.
You forgot to add the Washington Redskins

Lineup?? They are becoming pretty stacked themselves! That leaves this Giants team really looking horrible in comparison.. My goodness.. Really makes you think, how bad is the Giants Organization?? How bad is their drafting been?! So sad..

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.

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

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.
We are miles behind those 2 teams  
The_Boss : 9/15/2019 9:22 pm : link
The question to ask is if this regime is competent enough to get us to that level? They’re both well run by GM’s who, to be honest, are superior in every way to Gettleman..they draft well (especially Dallas)...have good to great young QB’s...and embrace analytics. I don’t see us getting close to those 2 anytime soon. No f’ing way with this regime.
The only  
Jon in NYC : 9/15/2019 9:32 pm : link
difference is the Giants have 1st and 2nd year guys and the other two teams have guys in their prime. Elliott, Cooper, Lawrence, Ertz, Johnson, Cox. All 26-28.

This shit takes time. I'll worry about the talent gap if it turns out Baker, Big Dex, Carter, Hernandez, etc. all suck.
If Gettleman had not insanely "traded" Snacks for a 5th round pick  
Reese's Pieces : 9/15/2019 9:39 pm : link
last year, we would have been covered at the run-stuffing DT position for three or four years and could have used a first to grab a pass rusher instead of a replacement at a position that didn't need replacing.

Marty866b : 9/15/2019 10:05 pm : link
But the locker room culture is better now that Snacks is gone. Doesn't that make you feel better? Gettleman actually has made a terrible team even worse and that takes some doing.

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!

It’s a lost art on this team but I would first compare this roster to NFL practice squads presently.

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
Getting Jerruh out of the drafting decisions  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 9/16/2019 9:15 am : link
has been the #1 driver of the Cowboys' success. Stephen Jones has been a slam dunk, cutting ties before a player craters and hiring guys like Marinelli.

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)
What sucks the most is Jerruh had a son that lives, eat, breathes

football and we have another Mara with a silver spoon permanently up his ass that likes to play pretend in between playing with horsies.

Is the biggest weakness and some others will say QB. It doesn’t help when our two best receivers are not playing.

Are also not sitting on a ton of dead cap money. With all those contracts off the books next year, hopefully this team will invest in the right players.
