Chase Young or Bust?  
John In CO : 12/15/2019 3:41 pm : link
Seems some here have let their fascination with the football God that is Chase Young get just a bit out of hand. Does he have the potential to be a great NFL player. Yes. Are there other players who will be in the upcoming draft who also have the potential to be great NFL players? YES!!! And they can be drafted at #2, #5, #50 or anywhere else in the draft. The thing is to FIND them!!! Look at Shaq Barrett for TB; guy has 16.5 sacks and he was UNDRAFTED! Rooting for losses for this one guy is just....ugh. We will have plenty of draft picks. Where ever those picks fall, draft the best prospect at that spot. Period. If thats Chase Young...great. If not...find the next best guy.

Wouldn't we want the Eagles to win this game so they have something to play for in the final week? The Skins winning doesn't do much unless the Giants beat them next week too. And if it comes to that, the Giants screwed their draft position anyway so it wouldn't matter much.

Good post. In all likelihood he won't have the best career of all defenders taken. Look at where Donald was drafted.

You are not seeing the big picture. It is not just about draft position. Most fans want wholesale changes to occur after the season ends. We do not want any end of season meaningless wins to give Mara an excuse to keep the coach and GM.
Another great play call by Shurmer - Nooo

With this guy we got running the ship, he might look @ these wins & decide to bring the crew back for an encore performance in '20.

Winning today is like a 5 minute sugar high.
Let’s enjoy a win for once!  
Simms11 : 12/15/2019 3:46 pm : link
There’s plenty of opportunity to get good players in this draft and DG has shown he can get the job done there, if he’s still here of course. Oline has like 5 first round graded players this year and Lord knows we need some good Olinemen!

Exactly. I don't enjoy (unfortunately) going to a friend's house anymore to watch the games because he and his 10 year old spend all 3 hours staring at their phones and talking about their dumb fantasy teams while mostly ignoring the game on the big TV screen right in front of them

That would be unbelievable stupid. The decision to fire both Gettleman and Shurmur should have been made back in October.
Did you all see that Shurmur all time winning percentage?

I think im OK with the GM, not GOOD, but OK. Want to see what he can do in FA with some $$$ in his wallet; no more dumpster diving. Wont kill me if he is gone, but his drafts have been at least OK after seasons of BAD from his predecessor.

The coach and the entire coaching staff MUST GO! I feel like im seeing flashes of talent from some of the kids on this team, but they need good coaching, and they arent getting it IMHO. Hard to even judge the draft picks when they are receiving this kind of coaching.

And look at the schedule next year. If Shurmur/Bettcher come back next year, we will go 0-16.
You might be watching Eli's last home game as a Giant....  
Kanavis : 12/15/2019 3:53 pm : link
Just enjoy the win!! I think Shurmur has done enough to avoid returning. As for the draft, 5 years from now, we will all be talking about some 2nd or 3rd round pick that ended up being the best defensive player in the draft.

Suddenly, picks are guarantees? Look at last year's vaunted QB class. How many proclamations did we hear about can't miss prospects. Look at the maneuvering some teams did. And now, the leading MVP candidate was the last QB taken in the first round and almost made it to round 2.

There are plenty of EDGE rushers taken in the top 10 who have busted. Our best pass rusher (outside of LT), was a second round pick.

Enjoy the game!!!!!!

ELI.

In his final home start the team shockingly did something that I havnt seen in a long long time.. win a game for him rather than the other way around.

I cant count how many games Eli has carried the team, this is the first time I've seen them carry him to a win since like 2006 lol I'm shocked right now.. but it is the dolphins so, thanks guys.
As much as I have zero confidence in Shurmur  
nicky43 : 12/15/2019 3:54 pm : link

If a late season win over the Miami Dolphins causes Mara to keep Shurmur, then we have a much larger problem on our hands.

I'm betting if we beat Washington next week, not just Gettleman, but Shurmur - and Bettcher - come back next year.

FA signings have been a disaster. No way do I want him spending our projected FA money, especially since his first move will likely be to grossly overpay for Williams simply to justify the draft capital he traded to get him. I also want to use some of that money to cut Solder.

What's is losing out on Young (who may stay at OSU anyway) AND Andrew Thomas. I guess I'd go with Jeudy but then 1 of Shep or Tate has to go. Think I'd vote to trade Shep.

there is no such thing as a "meaningless game" in the NFL. It helps with morale and with developing the younger players. Winning is not going to save the coaches ass.

We are going to draft in the top 5 and we will get a good player. I can't speak for anyone else but the Giants winning makes me happy until the next game.
