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.

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.


Yes, he had dug in advocates. They are fairly quiet these days.

However, if the NYG win the next 2 games they will come out again so you have a chance to find them again...
The only mild defense of Gettleman...

is that Chris Mara is the VP for Player Personnel and equally incompetent. Together, they are the perfect shit storm.

It’s weird for a fan to defend something before it’s a finished product. Were talking about a wait and see approach at 0-0. Were also talking about a fan being pumped up when the giants beat Seattle in Seattle last season. They were showing signs of life. Wtf is a fan supposed to do at this point in time?

No one is defending DG this season. You’re overstating this so called legion of staunch or loud DG defenders. Many here are lately. Everywhere I go most fans have always killed DG. You can’t go one day here without seeing multiple dg bashing threads. You’re gonna get your pound of flesh don’t worry. Then you can sharpen the knives for the next poor slob to come through here as GM.

That and not one of these HCs since coughlin will ever coach an nfl team ever again. Judge is probably the next one to shit the bed.

Not overstating anything. The defense of DG has been one of the more ridiculous stretches I have seen in NY Giant history.

When he was put in place things started poorly, it was a general defense of NY Giant nation.

Then when the first year results were bad, it became a conspiracy theory on how Eli was forced on him to "win now".

Then when the losses piled up in Year 2, it was the coaches stink so give him more time under a new coaching staff and his own guys.

Then when Judge came into the picture with some positive results, it was they are a "good collaborative team" so let's keep going.

So we are 1-5 again after two months.

Anything weird now?
Man, I just love what DG is doing!

I read variations of that a LOT a few years ago

What would be awesome is if the Giants had a GM and Senior Vice President who could help the young head coach.

You know who I liked? The last guy.

Where’s Gettleman’s Bradshaw, Smith, Ross, Boss, Phillips, Thomas, Manningham, Nicks, JPP, Joseph?

Reese picked 10 pretty good players in his first four drafts. I’d sign up for that.

lots of terrible decisions were made that brought the team to this point. The defenders lauded many of those decisions (trades, signings, etc.) - while other first guessed them as questionable.

Name them. Who were they? I’ve been on this site 14 years. Don’t recall any “in gettleman we trust” handles.

There was a dude named GettleDogMan. I feel bad for that dude.

There’s another character named Dimes something or rather who thinks the Giants are 3 players from being serious contenders.

Where is that fat fuck to apologize to everyone he was a dick to?
There was some guy calling himself TheBlueprint  
Greg from LI : 10/17/2021 11:16 pm : link
Who regaled us with fulsome praise of Gettleman's brilliant master plan, and how this year it was all going to come together. That was earlier this year, too, not at the beginning of Gettleman's reign of error.

There were also quite a few apologists who have blamed all of Gettleman's failures on Jerry Reese. Fortunately, now that it's year four, those have dried up.

I like FMIC. But magically the guy who stanned for Gettelman for several years suddenly decided not to post here any more. Weird timing.
