Hire Terps as GM

Thegratefulhead : 11/23/2021 12:19 pm
Fucking do it.

The whole god damn thing needs to be gutted like a fish. Trade everyone you can this offseason, the return really does not matter.

We need cheap players and available money. We need lots of picks, no premium contracts UNTIL we have in place the recipe to compete.

Then, SPEND THE MONEY.

We are mired in a cycle of suck because we tear it down half assed every time.

Can't we be 3-7 and 50 million under the cap?

Under discussed point. The Giants have a bunch of starters (as unremarkable as they may be) who are free agents, and lots of incumbents needing an upgrade.

The 2022 resources are bare, and with a deeper look 2023 isn’t great either.
If that happened, the only question would be...

Hopefully from the snap. We need a self critical GM who admits mistakes and is willing to move on from them quickly.

Terps would trade our whole draft

For the No. 1 pick and draft Matt Corral. No, we’ll be alright.
I LOL'ed but seriously

I have 300000% more faith in Terps and his vision of team building and his way of doing business would make the Giants instantly interesting again.

Thegratefulhead : 11/23/2021 3:14 pm : link
But I am not.

If we had moved on form Eli sooner rather later, traded down in 2018, not drafted Barkley and drafted Lamar Jackson, we would be in an infinitely better spot right now.

Terps wasn't shy about those things, he screamed about them.

Try and deny it.

Lamar Jackson I think it helps that he has the one OC who has a track record of making QB's like him look better than they are. He did it with Kaepernick and with Tyrod Taylor. Had we traded down and taken Nelson followed by Nick Chubb we would have been better off than Barkley followed by Will Hernandez.

I agree with this but I would phrase it differently. He is the one OC that can exploit their exceptional talent.

I feel like we should go back and analyze every Go Terps draft selection during the draft seasons and coaching selections from the last 4 years and figure this out for real.

The only advantage Gettleman has over any average Giant fan is his Rolodex, which I assume is actually a Rolodex.

The man is an absolute fool.

Again a Monday morning QB. Amazing how people always pick 2 of the best people that could have been drafted but were not when we play the what if games.

I think you misunderstood my post. I was not MMQBing. What I disagreed with was that we should have traded down and drafted Lamar Jackson. I do not think Lamar Jackson is the same QB he is now if he did not have Greg Roman as his OC. I merely mentioned Nelson and Chubb because we took a RB and OG early. I know we also had a lot of ties to Notre Dame and they had Nelson and McGlinchey on same OL. From what we know of the Giants draft board after Mayfield went #1 it was Barkley-Chubb-??? (I would guess Nelson based on the profile of player that DG likes. I don't think Darnold or Allen would have been in our Top 4.)

You being better than Gettleman isn't a reason to hire you. Why hire an amateur with a high opinion of themselves (you or Gettleman really) when you can bring in an actual GM from a successful organization?
And by that I mean poaching an executive who is not a current GM

It would be hard for a BBI'er to actually be worse than DG.

Jokes aside, I don't think I'd advise GT to update his resume, but he's clearly been more right than Gettleman.

Serious question: would the Giants be better or worse if we traded our whole draft to pick MC. The truth is, at a minimum, you kind of have to stop and think about that question. Don’t you? I think this team, as it is now, and assuming expired contracts aren’t renewed, would be three or four wins better w/ MC.

One thing is fairly certain, the Giants couldn’t be any worse by trading their entire draft for MC.
Draft picks are the lifeline for a team  
djm : 11/25/2021 4:09 pm : link
But they ain’t worth shit if you pick duds every year and trading a valuable pick isn’t bad if the player you get back is a big time contributor.

The mid 80s skins made a living off trading away picks year after year. Rams are now. Giants fielded their best teams over a 20 year period AFTER “giving up way too much for Eli”

Picks are valuable but so are difference makers. Just get it right. There’s more than one way to skin a cat but when you operate with this risk adverse mindset than the giants have adopted, you have this milk toast mess we see every year.

Gimme the Cowboys / Eagles / skins mentality any day over this shit.
