This is the most improved team in the league. Its time to recognize what the Gettledog is doing.
We have the Coach, QB, and are stronger on both lines. Need to add a few more players =this will be a very tough team to beat.
(great name, btw)
Both have looked better over the last 2 weeks and maybe Jones and the offense show sustained improvement and success here over the last half of the season.. but right now he's a marginal starter in an offense that struggles to score points.
I presume Gettleman drafted Jones because Shurmur wanted him and Eli's contract was up and the front office seemed obsessed with the idea of a rookie QB "learning from Eli". But I, like many fans, was hoping they'd take Allen, let Eli play out his contract with Lauletta backing up, and move heaven and earth to get Herbert the following year.
Any improvement this year can be attributed to having a better coach and DC in here than Shurmur and Bettcher, and Gettleman going and getting players they want.
Gettleman should maybe not be fired, but should definitely not win any awards.
If this team finished 8-8, there is an argument to be made he’s in the running. On the flip side of that if this team finishes 4-12, there certainly an argument to be made he should “retire”

Valid perspective Zeke.....
If you're going to choose an echo chamber, sports is the best place to do it.
I think the OP is actually Dave Gettleman.
Who else would think Leonard Williams was signed as a free agent?
Side note: I love Leonard Williams and if we get 5 years of this level of play out of him then it’s a hole run no matter what we gave up.
Somewhere Marc Colombo is getting a good chuckle.

He's doing a great job? Uh...
Of course, he set the bar so low in his first couple that a league average off season by comparison looks like an award winning off season. But hey, its an improvement. I have no clue, but I gotta wonder how much of Judge's influence affected it though.

Has he made mistakes? Sure but all GMs make mistakes. He has a head coach and staff who are on the same page and the result is that the abilities of the players - be them free agents of draft picks - are able to maximize their potential. GM of the year? If the Giants finish 9-7 and/or two win a playoff game, it would be a consideration. Firing him? At this point, it’s ridiculous to even suggest.

Is the team getting better? Is Logan leading in pro-bowl votes? Do we have the best corner in the NFC in Bradbury? How good is Jones becoming? How good is Thomas becoming? What does Martinez do for the defense?
Our general manager has at least earned his keep for next year.
Yeah, sure. “Trolls start fights.”
Fine.
But anyone with a sincere I terry in the team and half a brain can evaluate the state of the team and understand that the team is headed in the right direction and Dave is a reason why.
And the man had other concerns - like his life - due to cancer that may have made him a little off his game.
He’s doing a good job.
Period.
I hate typos
Notice that our two biggest free agent signings this past off-season - Martinez and Bradberry - are young veterans as is Leonard Williams. Gettleman has overhauled this roster. I like where it has gone and feel optimistic about where it's going.

So he went from doing a great job to a good job in just a few posts.
Average job by noon today?
NFL executives seem to agree w me so whose the troll?

IMO Jones has the talent and mental makeup to be a top 5 QB

Exactly

Great points
Then again, even if he (or someone else) had started a "Gettleman sucks and should be fired" thread, my guess is the same people (on both sides) would show up and post the same things they do on all DG threads.
still think i was uhh trolling? ha

I love you being here. You add a lot to the discussions. And I love you name....best name here for sure!
Interesting thought. Its been a crazy season.
I think this board needs a GH category for threads - Giants Hyperbole. Then folks can start threads like “are the Giants the best team in the league?” or “Will we ever draft outside the top 3 again?”
Finding a rationale Giant fan these days is like looking for a leprechaun riding a unicorn.
You were saying? Lol
Ha I didnt see this.. He deserves it more than Obama
Care to reconsider?
Feel the same?
EASY.
You don't even have to be subtle here. We are eager to swallow the bait.

Way better than the John Jerry guy. (Although they may be the same person, maybe he stepped up his game!)
This is a lame troll. Trolling this board is like fishing in a lake of starving fish.
EASY.

It looks good right now, but let's see the whole thing first.

Premature. When everyone was clamoring for his head at 1-7, I said it doesn't look good now, but wait, the season needs to play out. We won 4 straight and everyone wants DG enshrined. The season STILL needs to play out. They don't give 3/4 season awards. They could go 0-4 or 4-0 and that changes this conversation 180 degrees. 9-7 is the moon from 5-11.

I disagree and here's why -doesnt matter record going forward imo -DG had the best offseason Draft/trade/FreeAgency and in season additions of any GM this year -he wont win but this will go down as one of the best.

[/quote]We have to agree to disagree. I don't judge a GM over subjective opinions on whether an individual move is good or bad. Then, come up with a overall GM draft/offseason move report card. Silly and an endless conversation with moving goal posts.
I judge executives from a higher orbit. It is win or GTFO. You get time. I feel the right number is 3 years. If the Giants end up 5-11 there is nothing you could tell me that could convince me he had anything other than a bad year. Think about what going 0-4 the rest of the way out would feel like.
