They brought back Barkley too soon!!!

He is a shadow of the player who took the field in Tampa. I've watched teams do this for decades. Bring back a player as soon as you can. The doctors said he was a go. Well, we're paying a big penalty for a bad decision. We didn't let him get healthy and now he might carry these limitations through the rest of the season.

It's painful watching him right now. Get him out of there before he really hurts something. Let him get well.
Nonsense.

He is getting hit as he takes the handoff almost every rush. They also are not throwing to him in space. They do nothing to utilize his talent.

Agree with both comments above. There’s clearly none of the usual burst and now he has a serious shoulder issue that may be contributing to his passivity in picking up blitzes and lack of physicality. Also the running schemes are predictably vanilla and the line can’t move anybody. Forget worrying about 7 man fronts as the Jets were bringing 6 man fronts and winning all day.
Part of that’s on him.

He guaranteed he’d beat the recovery timeline and probably wanted to make good on that. He’a been running behind shitty lines since he got here and always managed to get more than one freaking yard. He’s a shell of himself
If only you were part of the medical team

maybe the Giants could avoid doing this going forward.

because you know, those guys who went to medical school all those years, and did all that studying and received all that training, having been screwing up for decades where you, and only you, know how long a player should be out and when they're ready to return. Based on your specific and exemplary education.

You are so underutilized posting on an anonymous message board, you should monetize your talents.
Saquon himself said the ankle was still an issue.

He rushed back for the team. Our coach should've told him no.
Maybe if we had a couple of capable backups ...

The issue would have been moot.
It's readily observable

You don't need an MD next to your name to see he doesn't have the explosive cutting ability that we have seen so many times prior to the injury.

He needs to heal, and I don't even know if the two weeks afforded by the bye week will even be long enough.
And you have to start to wonder

What the benefit of trotting him out there in this lost season is.

Yeah, because the Giants medical team has been shown to be geniuses over the years. Good grief. Have you watched this medical staff screw up player after player for decades?
