But next year, with Gates and Lemieux being out all year next year, and DJ being the guy for us… do we just totally flat out improve the line from Thomas ——& gt; ? Assuming Thomas has a pretty good year. Big if I know, but I can’t imagine both guys come back better then ever, RT seems to be a huge question mark… and who knows about WH anymore.
Thoughts?
I would say no, because I don't trust read offense QB's to take you to a Super Bowl and win it.
If there's a Franchise QB out there in the draft, we need to take that guy, either with one of the two draft choices, or use both.
Otherwise, the team needs to use it's first two choices for Edge Rusher/Offensive Tackle in no particular order, then get Offensive guards. We may need to dedicate a draft to fixing both lines once and for all.
You could replace Jones in this situation with a journeyman (think how we drafted Kerry Collins back in the day), then use a later draft for a franchise QB once the new Offensive Line solidifies. And yeah, doing this would mean trading Barkley for draft choices.
I don't see the Giants moving on from him until his rookie deal is up unless he completely falls apart.
He has shown enough when the line gives him time to be successful.
I think the current leadership will continue to build around him.
If gettleman and judge are fired and we bring in a completely different front office than bets are off and they probably draft a QB.
Let's be honest the Giants have not wiped this clean since the 70's and very rarely go to far out of the organization to hire talent.
2. The reason why the Cleveland browns are so bad is because they tried to fix their team is QB after QB, they also tried getting a RB and that was a bust too. These players can make your team better but they will not win either if you have no pass rush, no protection, and no push to make a hole for a RB.
3. We already rebuilt and we need to keep building. We all agreed this team sucked and that it was going to take years to fix and where we failed was more in the line as pass rush not the QB. Last week was even more proof, DJ had 250 yards passing and a TD and another 100 yards rushing with a TD. How much more are you expecting a rookie QB to do with a bad line and no pass rush. Fix the the freaking problems.
4. Offense design. Stop trying to run an offense does not match your personell. Stop trying to put a round peg in a square hole. Be creative with weapons you already invested in.
5.Stop using Saquan as a every down back until he actually can do the job. I feel bad that he is not there yet but this year should not be used for him but rather to see what DJ's ceiling actually is if you let him loose.
6. If the Saquan and DJ experience is complete bust it's because you wasted any talent you had with not building the team properly and you are not going to fix the team by just replacing them or you just going to cycle through the same process. Fix your shit with draft picks. If you draft high again the next year then you will have a high pick to pick the QB to take Jones' job
I think this team is headed for 1-7 or 2-6. If that happens...tank! Fire Gettleman and let a real GM rebuild.
Thanks for your input. You are 1 of 2 who actually answered the question. This somehow turned into “should we keep DJ” thread.
Keep building a pipeline. Constantly try to improve starters and depth. Let marginal or just average leave. Do not sign average to second contracts. Continue this every year.
Related to Solder, is Peart in the doghouse? I don't think he was on the field at all against Washington.

No he’s just too ‘raw’ apparently to beat Soldier.
