Booker is awful. So slow and constantly off balance. How we signed him over Gallman is beyond me. Talk about a horrible evaluation. We also signed him so quickly that I truly believe he would have gone unsigned by the league.

It’s not just that they signed him, somehow he was a top priority in free agency that the Giants went right after and gave real money to.
Booker out there? At this point, I am just utterly indifferent whether Barkley plays or not.
2.6 ypc “looked better”?
It’s ok to think Barkley was a bad pick, it’s ok to think we wasted his time here, it’s ok to think he shouldn’t get a second contract. But we are absolutely not better at running without him.
Has been injured his entire career…. Too soft for the BFF… he’s a track guy…. Always goes down on first contact and in never available… I don’t believe we could get a 5 th for him at this point
his injuries are a part of the problem with this team.
I do, he deserves better.
I love Barkley but he’s played one full season. Gave us hope and now the injury bug has hit him for 3 straight years. None of those injuries is on the team. And the team was counting heavily on him to be a difference maker. We’ve only had one season of that Saquon.
Picking him number two overall was a tragic error that has set the Giants back. However - in a pass first offense he can be a weapon when used sparingly. His flaws are now obvious but used properly he can still turn a small play into a big play. No second contract and I really don't believe there are many teams willing to give him big money. But he can be an asset this season.
The Giants need to find a young RB on someone's practice
He deserved so much better then this organization. We are now the Jets, where football careers go to die.
I understand why you would feel bad for him but blaming the organization I don’t get. His injuries were caused by the organization. Bullshit yourself some more.
There is absolutely ZERO chance the Giants trade Barkley
but he's turned into an underachieving and injury prone player. I don't think this is the last time he'll get hurt either. I'd cut our losses and move on. I don't have much trust or confidence in him anymore. It's like he either runs for a yard, losses 3 yards, has an explosive play every 15 attempts or so or he gets hurt.

Anyone that posted this during the offseason was faced with absolute ridicule by the inteligentsia here. Where are they now?
the circumstances the results have not borne out in DG's favor once again, this being the most tragic mistake. On this alone you have to fire this GM. Let the new GM blow it up with a top down approach, giving everyone some breathing room politically.
Would be a great fit with the Ravens and Lamar Jackson. But, I don’t see any way the giants are trading Barkley I think they want him to be the face of the franchise.

Wanting and being is two different things. The man just can't stay healthy. If we pay him it would be a big mistake, if we let him walk he will go on to be an all pro somewhere else (a team that can actually block).
is complete bullshit. The Giants failed the Giants. As mentioned before we got the luxury item before we had the place to put it. BUt, said luxury item is constantly in need of repairs and doesn't perform as well as you would expect for the design, size and the position it plays.
The biggest flaw in 2018 was believing Eli was still Eli and that Barkley was the difference.

Barkley IS the face of the franchise-- and that's the problem. A perpetually injured overpaid overdrafted RB with poor vision, weak stutter-step dance moves, inability to pick up blitzes, and who has contributed to a grand total of seven (7!!!) wins in 3 and a half seasons is the face of this franchise.
I don't see how you can justify bringing Barkley back for a second contract, but I'm almost certain they will look for any reason to, and if he manages to stay relatively healthy next season, they absolutely will, and the mandate will come from the owner.

He has become an injury prone player now, that particular
play looked harmless, but I guess not.
It certainly was unnecessary, since the damn play was over.
If you think Gettleman is going to admit he made a mistake and let

No it did not look better.

And the Giants missing for a decade.

It isn't, but think what you want.

God I hope we don't resign him, let him go to the Rams or San Fran where he can thrive on a real football team.
I do, he deserves better.

Not for Big Blue smh.

The key is going to be not compounding the mistake of drafting him #2 overall and giving him a long term, cap anchoring deal.
Hopefully someone else will be making that decision in the front office when it comes time to make that call.

Cool let's let the only guy that scares defenses just walk. Can't wait to see how we replace him.
He stepped on a guy's foot. That's more bad luck than anything else.
Barkley will be an MVP or all PRO candidate anywhere else. He's being wasted here and is mired in this shitty vortex of misery. He'll shine elsewhere.
DG has cut and traded his picks before.
Bullshit myth.
