I know many don't feel bad for EE, maybe lots did but he's been involved in so many negative plays for so many years that he's soured most of the fans against him. Having said that, I wanted to see if some of you agree with this observation.
It seems to me that EE needs time to pick up the ball in flight. He seems to especially struggle with quick throws, and/or throws shown a short distance, and has decent hands when he has time to turn his head around and track the ball. Am I alone in this observation?
Reason I ask is that it drives me nuts to AGAIN see him running these 3 yard drag routes or the stick routes on 3rd and 7. I think he needs more time to look back for the ball and track it into his hands.
I know we all want to see him run deep into the seam to take advantage of his speed, but to me it's more about giving him time to get his eyes on the ball.
Thoughts?
He's a mental error machine. They've got to fix his confidence, otherwise it's time to go.
Fix his confidence? They've been telling him how great he is since the moment they drafted him!
Evan should go out and chop down trees in the woods with an ax. Learn to run on wet cement without making a foot print. Catch paint pellets while someone rapid fires a paintball gun at him, and he doesn't wear any gear to give himself that extra urgency.
Do all that with some good Hair Band music in the background, and we will have the best damn TE this league has ever seen.

He's the best...around...
Nothing's ever gonna keep him down...
Doesn't sound like something you should do if you want him to help your team.
Sometimes you get what you put out into the world.

Exactly what I had in mind.

Regardless of how this season goes, I want Dave Gettleman out of the building, and I am hoping Evan Engram goes too.
Love this take. so if the giants get hot here and lets say go 9-8, with the likes of Barkley, Jones, Lawrence, Thomas and Toney all playing well, all DG first rounders, you still want him gone. What if they go 11-6? Still want him gone...why?
Another Dave Gettleman props comment?
First win comes on Oct 3rd and your worried about what happens when they win 10 of their next 13 games and need to extend the GM. Strong post.
Did I say that? No. Dumb ass post.
If they can get a 3rd round pick for him I’ll be happy. A ton of talent coming out of this next draft class.

I'd be shocked if they dumped him.
Despite his faults, he's a weapon as far as defenses are concerned. And I'm pretty sure the Giants staff sees him that way as well. He's a starter on the depth chart and in the game plan week after week.
Best at this point to just hope for the best, I think.
He's a FA at the end of the year, right? Most likely he gets a new start and finds greener pastures in '22. We'll collect our compensatory draft pick the year after.

please tell me how he is a weapon. He cannot catch and he cannot block. He is a liability. If anything, defenses love seeing him in the lineup.

I'm not qualified to answer your question. You should ask Judge, Garrett and Kitchens.
JJ/DG need to consider whether they plan on re-signing him for next year. If not, trade him for what they can get. I think he is a worker and a good guy - liked by teammates, but staying in NY is not helping the Giants or him.

My theory is that they tried to trade him in the offseason and there were no takers at his salary.
It is NOT an excuse for drops, fumbles, turnovers.
