The reality is that DG run as the GM isn't going to last much longer due to his age, health and lack of success. The Giants will NEVER "fire" him, he'll be put into retirement with a happy sendoff and a lot of warm remarks about him. That's the Giants way of doing business.
That said, do you think that the Giants have a plan of succession knowing what is coming and do they have someone in house ready to take over? Or do you think that they go outside the organization?
If they go outside for new blood, where does that leave Joe Judge?
Abrams freely admits he is not a player personal...more cap and contracts.
The system of accountability is in place....so it really matter little if Gettleman remains in place.....BBI makes way too much of Gettleman. The Giants have a team approach....and
Judges power will grow...he has that kind of persona.

Good post. I have faith in the direction of the team
You can’t keep starting over because you want instant gratification.
He is part of a team. As long as him and Judge are on the same page, I’m good.
Reese/Ross went away from accountability to cya approach. They would double down on mistakes.
Giants rarely keep underpreforming players year after year. We have seen players cut quickly. They fired the scout who recommneded Baker.
Chris Pettit is the key right now....as he oversee all the scouts.
If Judge adds another player personal person ....he might even work with Gettleman. Again, it is a team approach.
The Giants are not going to change course now...for awhile.
What happened to the Giants in the second decade of this century is a replay of what happened in the 60s. Not keeping up with the latest analytic developments in the game . Nepotism . Hidebound adherence to the former ways . To his credit , after a blowhard , disastrous start , Mr G identified these problems . But he , himself , is not good enough to lead .
I’ve said this before : Gettleman went for the coffee when the true talent remained in the building . He adopted some of their mannerisms . He moved up simply by attrition . He got a big job outside the organization . That organization ultimately let him go .
This team still needs outside refreshment . I think they had it right when they considered Riddick . If he were still interested in the job, he would be my choice .
Barkley was best player available.
If you want Gettleman fired then Daniel Jones must fail....
And I will not hope for that....
No major changes will occur...
Judge will gain power....and will be able to tweak things, add people...but this system will remain
However all these dire posts are quite comical.
Seems the Giants cap situation is usually as good as anyone else’s s, if true why would they allow Abrams to leave. Wouldn’t it be smart to keep him in place and allow Judge more say in personnel decisions.
This idea, that staying in house, “The Giants Way, is bad, overlooks that it has been a pretty successful franchise.
As to Gettleman, trying to rebuild around Eli in some ways prevented the tearing down that was necessary, difficult to believe that was solely his decision.
An objective look at the Giants does not conclude without a doubt, he has failed, that has yet to be determined
There is a lot of good insight on this thread.

What does this even mean?. Reese was under the GY/Accorsi tree. Who you think was scouting the players they drafted??
And BTW, that scout people keep referring to, Gettleman appointed him to that positon himself the year before. So it isn't like he fired a scout that Reese had there..
The thing I hate is saying X can do better. Well, if you're going to say that, fine - but then make the case. Say why X is better, but then explore that person's mistakes to discuss as well (unless the person has zero GM experience). I also think the season needs to play out. Let's see how the team responds, what the coaches do.
However all these dire posts are quite comical.
CHOO CHOO!!
I think I hear the Gettleman excuse train coming around the bend.
The man is a scout that does not have the skill set to be a successful GM. He should have been canned last year and nothing short of a .500 season should save his ass after this season.

This is what I want. Just go all in on Judge at this point - we really can't do any more damage than what's already been done if it doesn't work.
But I actually think this will work well. Leave the personnel decisions to Judge and his staff and let Abrams manage the finances.
The days of finding a GM that can be a scouting guru and cap wizard are over for the most part. I think its a dying breed in football.

The irony of talking about the excuse train coming around when you say that Gettleman doesn't have the skill set to succeed as a GM is telling.
Whether or not DG succeeds here, he succeeded in Carolina. And he didn't it not as a scout, but by clearing up a huge mess they had with the salary cap when he arrived.
But since it doesn't pertain to the Giants - it must never have happened.

I think this would be nuts. Yes, Judge needs at least 3 years here to try to turn this thing around. However, handing over control of personnel to someone who has not been a head coach at any level would not be a wise decision. At this point, we don't even know if he can be a successful head coach let alone a head coach/GM. I'm in favor of giving a head coach more say in personnel decisions but it would have to be someone with a proven track record at the coaching level.

Bullshit. The main building blocks in Carolina were in place before Gettleman was the GM there. He didn't build that team himself.
So, you're basically calling me a dupe? Ok. I'll be a dupe. Still does not justify anything you said as fact as all..
So Gettleman doesn't get credit for success in Carolina inheriting a good team but takes the fall in NY when inheriting a terrible one?
By the way - do some research. What exactly did his predecessor do with all that talent? What has his successor done with the team? There's a reason Carolina fans still complain about DG being let go.
And just to note - Gettleman is Carolina's best ever GM in terms of record.
But apparently undeservingly. The shit said here sometimes is just so fucking rich
What does this mean? GMan coming back to the board has been a welcome sight - now he's called a dupe? I think you're confused
Scout Chris Pettit on what types of players Giants look for - ( New Window )

I really don't get the "Abrams is the next GM" idea. Gettleman is the third GM Abrams has been deputy to. if they wanted to promote him they would have done so already. Abrams is the cap guy, not a player personnel guy. They want a player personnel guy as the GM.
But I just don't like group think and points that don't have fact for basis. This place is riddled with it..
And don't look now, but Daniel Jones is 24th in QBR and 32nd in standard QB rating. It's early but getting late fast.
If, in turn, the Giants finish 2-14 or 3-13, then the organization need complete cleansing and replacing DG with anyone in house cannot be acceptable.
We'll need to wait until seasons end.
He let a lot of the veterans go which was the right move.

Get a clue man.
All of these KEY pieces to that SB team were in place prior to Gettleman's arrival and they were definitely many of the main cogs in Gettleman's Win Loss record that you're so proud of;
Cam Newton
Jonathan Stewart
Greg Olsen
Luke Kuechly
Thomas Davis
Ryan Kalil
Ted Ginn
Josh Norman
I'm sure there are others.
Do you actually think Carolina sniffs a SB without these guys? Not a chance...
That you don't hold that opinion shows exactly how biased and inconsistent your opinion is

what are you saying about getting a clue?
I’d guess that if there is a GM vacancy at the end of the season, the Giants will interview a few candidates. An outside name I’d watch is Monti Ossenfort from TEN who knows Judge from NE. I’d imagine Abrams and Pettit would also be interviewed.
The Giants are very young and their new franchise QB has played in only 14 games. A ton of recent draft capital has been invested in the OL & defense. Now is not the time to bring in an “outside” voice and blow this up. That would be incredibly dumb. If it is an outside voice, he better have connections to Judge.
Some of the decisions that were made,who knows who the driving force was behind them.It's the old Jerry Reese defense,but in this case I think it holds up better.Not taking a receiver,or not drafting a pass rusher.These are key decisions that can break you.You're telling me this was all Gettleman. I can't say that for certain,but some people will.
So, the question is after three years, are we anywhere close to talented enough to compete for the Super Bowl? If a team like the Saints (who just lost to LV) come in to MetLife, what do you think would happen?
Clean house.

I'll repeat it for you...get a clue man.
So you're attempting to defend Gettleman's Carolina record by stating the team was good while he was there but went downhill immediately after he left?
That certainly couldn't be due to the skills of those players that were on the roster before he was hired, eroding with age after 8-10 years in the league and Gettleman's failing to replace them with new players that were equally as talented. I'm sure it had nothing to do with that or his poor drafts and the hatchet job he did on some of the talented players he let go.
You also like to speak of the mess that Gettleman inherited when he took the Giants job due to the poor job of the previous GM. Yet the fact that the Panthers sucked for years after DG was fired is due to them no longer having his Keen management skills rather than him sucking at his job. Unbelievable...
By the way that record of 7-8-1 and making the playoffs speaks volumes about the level of competition in that division during DG's tenure.
Weird. I don't care enough to argue about Gettelman anymore, but you scoffing off 4 playoff appearances and a SB appearance is pretty telling.
the best comment? Was this bit of comedy gold.
No
