Which is odd, Ive always had my favs through the years, Toomer, Tuck, LT, Jumbo, Eli etc...
I don't know what not having a fav player says about me. I root the hardest for Jones right now though.
This is exactly how I feel too! When I read the thread title I thought " Odd, I don't really have a favorite" as opposed to other years. Pressed for an answer I would likely sat Leonard Williams. There really is no one on this team at the moment that inspires.
But I'm more in the BR camp of not having a Fav on this team. At least not yet. I like that DJ has taken heat and still improved and works to improve and hasn't thrown anyone under the bus or deflected blame. I like Bradberry because he typically gets the job done and quietly. He's had a rougher start to the year so hopefully he prevails.
But I do like Andrew Thomas a lot. Good steady demeanor. Works hard, says little, ignores all the outside noise. Perfect temperament for a Left Tackle.
not sure at the moment, I think it's more-so due to getting older but also years of terrible football has made me apathetic about the team. I want it to be Jones, but I really like Golladay's physical style of play. If the Saints game is just the start of what Toney does on a week-to-week basis then that may be my choice. Barkley could be up there if he starts getting back to his dynamic play as a rookie. So I guess those four are growing on me at the moment.
I remember catching him on the sideline during one of the preseason games cheering and encouraging the newbies and wanna-play guys out there like they were the starters.
That spoke volumes to me about his dedication and intensity
cannot help but notice that Jones is a real class act. Not convinced he is the next franhise QB but cannot think of anyone who has carried himself as well in NY at such a young age--other than possibly Jeter or Judge.
I like Judge and Graham. I'm really pulling for them to make it work. I'm indifferent about everyone else in the building except Gettleman (who should be shot out of a cannon into the Hackensack River) and Mara (who seems like a nice man but is in dire need of an intervention).
Given this team’s recent history. I’d probably say Gates. Bradshaw was my favorite during the Coughlin era but many of the players since he left have been forgettable and hard to route for.
Even if you hate the selection of a RB at #2 in the draft, you still have to love Barkley. Pepper's has his faults on the field but love his team spirit. Gates and Lawerance with their lunch pail attitudes. Shep with his blocking and effort in general. It's early on Toney but he looks like he might be fun to watch. Logan Ryan. , Bradberry's talent without the drama, Martinez, etc...
I totally get the issue with the pick and see the flaws in him as a player. However, Marshall Faulk is one of my favorite players ever and I think Saquon is the closest thing to him from a talent perspective that we’ve seen.
Faulk didn’t reach his full potential until his 6th year and on a 2nd team. Shows that Saquon still has time, but I hope he doesn’t reach his potential on a 2nd team. Faulk was definitely a better blocker though, Saquon needs to continue working on that area.
I had been watching Toney before the draft. Saw him as another Tyreek Hill. Can make Das look foolish. Was really happy when we got him AND the Bear's 1st round pick in 2022.
Was happy to see him let loose last week. He should be on the field ALL the time.
Also Logan Ryan, 2 reasons, a baller of a player PLUS he runs a pitfall rescue society. Good man, opposite of Michael Vick
Kadarious Toney, there are only a handful of guys in NFL that can
do what he can with ball in his hands. Unreal quick, tough, strong, and unreal vision. Fun, fun player to watch. Between him and Saquon teams are going to have to make tough decisions
I just think he is extremely easy to root for. Seems like his teammates love him. Its been a while since Ive wanted a young player to succeed more.
Also love Leonard Williams. I don't think many understand how much of a beast he is and how difficult he his to deal with. hes essentially unblockable in the run game. very gifted

He’s just insane to watch when he finds space.
Mine too.
Easy guy to root for. All about team and winning.
And in today's NFL, 3 yards and a cloud of dust doesn't win games any more. Defenses will let you have that now. They are trying to take away the explosive play. Having explosive players makes defenses adjust and creates opportunities for other players as well.

Jury is still out on Jones, but he's growing on me.
Yep, Thomas is up there too.
Jones/Saquon/Thomas/Golladay/Toney isn’t the worst core on offense.
That spoke volumes to me about his dedication and intensity
Not who is the best.
Not who is the most productive.
I like Barkley even though I think the pick was not worth it.
His personality and demeanor are that of what I look for in a teammate.
He is exciting with the ball in his hands.
You didn't name your new kid Daniel? ;)

On Offense, Gates, Barkley and Jones.
In that order.
Lawrence on defense but I expect more from him.
