Dave Gettelman is a great GM and things are looking up.

Mike from SI : 10/17/2021 2:49 pm
I've heard that on BBI the last 4 years. We should feel very privileged that Dave Gettelman is our GM. The heroism to be condescending to reporters who ask about analytics knows no bounds. We are so lucky.

Please don’t act like you’re the only one who didn’t want him as GM.

Hey! He overturned the roster twice already.

This embarrassment has to get him fired.

He is not returning next season. This season is over. He has to go before he can do more damage. The Maras are cowards.

There is no way DG can be back. No citing injuries, none of that. He needs to go. Should be tonight.

Um yes people were talking up Gettelman as a good GM. For a long time. If you paid attention here you would know.
It’s hard to go 1-5..  
Sean : 10/17/2021 3:07 pm : link
It’s hard to be THAT incompetent, and the Giants do it regularly.

Danny Kanell : 10/17/2021 3:10 pm : link
I wish I had confidence in the next hire. I like Jones but that will be a prerequisite to getting the job next year. Whoever doesn’t commit to Jones in the interview process won’t be considered for the job.

Just like Gettleman telling Mara what he wanted to hear when he got hired. That they could still win with Eli.

The process is just going to be another sham. I hope they start over with the coaching staff at least. They’re incompetent. All of them, Judge included.

You’ve already backed it off your original statement. You said people were saying he’s a great GM. Now you are saying people are saying he’s a good GM. There is a difference. And who gives a shit, really? Who cares what “ sone people” said years ago?

I hope you’re wrong. If the process is a sham than Mara doesn’t care about winning and just wants a profit, I don’t believe that. I think he knows there needs to be legitimate changes this time around.

Maybe not “great”, but many still supported him early this season. All of the naysayers were haters who knew nothing about football.

Maybe now. But not before the start of last year. Last year more began to convert during and after the season but still a lot of optimism too.

Before that you were categorized "as a hater" or "A miserable bastard" if you criticized him. Still this year there were many like that.

For the record I was fine with the hire. Unlike others, I'm ok with admitting I was wrong. What is weird to me is people arguing against obvious facts and evidence. But here we are. Rome wasn't built in a day, dahling. (But plenty of good NFL teams were built in 2 years.)

Sure but again, how many posters regularly did that? Not very many. Just a few often said it.

Yes, but they still should as Giant fans.

Maybe they don't because they took to hard a stance on supporting a bad view on DG. Whatever...
many posters

defended every dumb move starting in 2018 - with great enthusiasm.

There are a lot of people who, for the sake of internet argument  
Ten Ton Hammer : 10/17/2021 7:40 pm : link
became personally invested in the perception and success of Dave Gettleman as a GM.

They didn't like being told their belief was wrong, and doubled down on it at every opportunity.

Again posters like you weasling words. The posters were aggressive defending DG. They didn't have ot say DG was a good GM. Instead they would defend big time that he didn't suck.

So silly. Agree, nobody would use words like great, but they still would support him in staying his role.

Suggesting he had good hits and bad, that no GM bats a thousand, that Reese left him with garbage, that the Owners hamstrung him with Eli, that he did well in Carolina, and that he just needs time.

What a joke to backtrack now on those posts...
We had a couple of posters JUST THIS WEEK  
Section331 : 10/17/2021 8:07 pm : link
saying that since Judge had a say in personnel decisions that he was responsible. That wasn’t last month or last year, it was Thursday.

And they know this...how?

Gettleman supporters became more vocal Judge supporters to separate themselves from the former. Then Judge started to look suspect so now they have nowhere else to go...

I sure hope you’re not saying I’m backtracking on any posts. Please go search the archives. I’ve never said shit about DG. And if I knew a poster was praising him I’d probably remember their handle since it would be so rare.

Shit, once he picked up that Jax OL his first season at the helm I was terrified of what he was bringing to the team.
I’ll always say  
djm : 10/17/2021 8:17 pm : link
The GM gets way too much blame for this mess. I’m not even a DG defender as much as I feel it’s way too easy to put all the blame on him. If he got fired into the Hackensack River tonight I wouldn’t lose sleep. He’s lost a lot here so he needs to shoulder a lot of the blame, but I think the HC makes or breaks the GM more often than not. Just how I feel. I have never had a dog in this race other than I want to win.
That is fine, but no need to suggest  
Jimmy Googs : 10/17/2021 8:18 pm : link
DG didn't have a fairly vocal supporting cast here.

They may have been just clueless NYG homers and not have used the word great, but it was very clear as to their views.

He didn’t have fan boys. But I’d imagine he had fans that wanted to give him a chance. Why would a fan base root against the new lead of their GM?

The way you’re wording things is that he had dug in advocates. I don’t recall any.

DG inherited a mess. Yet, he had 4 offseasons, a ton of early draft picks, had the ability to pick his own QB and spend up to the cap in free agency every single year, change over his scouts and the coaches.

And he still didn't improve it one single bit.

He sucks at this...
