Giants might not be an elite team again, but I'm damn excited for the future.
Thomas, Neal, Thibedeux, McKinney, Ojulari, Toney, Robinson, Lawrence, Williams, Bellinger, Jackson that's 11 starters all but 1 under the age of 24 with at least 2 years of control left on them.
Add to that a healthy Barkley, Jones, Martinez, Love all who are young and gunning for big new contracts.
Add to that a whole host of interesting players that I have the change to emerge, such as McFadden, Jarren Williams, Shane Lemiux, Eweudu, Elerson Smith, Aaron Robinson and Cor'dale Flott, Belton.
We finally have a backup QB, a credible center and right guard.
I HAVE to imagine players like Golladay and Barkley will be better than last year.
OF COURSE there are a ton of ? there too. Especially if Daniel Jones doesn't show improvement (though I am confident he will with this offense).
The biggest concern again has to be injuries and lack of depth at certain positions.
But damn, I'm excited for this year.
Well so much for the era of good feeling. Come on man, its the summer time. This is the part where every team is supposed to have hope. There will be plenty of time to wallow in the pit of misery once the season starts.
I mainly follow football, hockey and EPL soccer. Right now there is just no sports on TV that I want to watch and I get bored coming up with snarky remarks on online message boards.
As of right now, I'm really looking forward to Giants' football even though I'm not sure if they have enough to even be a middle of the road team. I think eventually this management team will right the ship though I have no real evidence of this, but hope springs eternal.
Some of the posts on this site are really ridiculous. It s summer time, the OP is excited about the coming season, and instead of just ignoring the post some feel the need to be negative and take another dig at Jones.
Read the room dude, if you don’t share the optimism don’t come in the he room
It s not like you made a new point.
The constant need by some to reinforce negativism is exasperating.
It must suck to be writing off a season in June.

He said he is hopeful to draft a real QB soon.
Isn't that being optimistic and positive?

No, it is, as was said, a shot at Jones. Nothing optimistic or positive about it. Same boring negative crap we see here on an endless basis.

The Giants don't have draft capital to be a player in the franchise quarterback sweepstakes...
Let's see what happens this year, before we abandon ship. Like every season, there are things that change the trajectory of a team and surprise everyone. Lately, those things haven't been good; the Giants are surely at the point where there's no place to go but upward.

Finding a QB is a very positive take...

Imagine waking up everyday (in June no less) and one of the first things you do is log on to BBI to bitch about the Giants.
I don't think Jones is the answer either but man, if that isn't an old, tired, and beaten up conversation.

That is what I mean. Jones is a place holder. I'm a realist. Plain and simple. This is a rebuilding team that will have a losing record. that's not negative or positive. It's an evaluation. I'm looking forward to having a feeling at the end of the first round of the draft like I had this year. I rated the first round this year an A+. I hope I feel the same next year when the NYG can get their QB for the net decade plus. Living in sunshine and rainbow land is not realistic for this team for this coming year. It's been the worst team in football since 2017 (tied with the Jets) for a reason.
P.S. What makes you think it's the morning where I am when I post mongos?

Mr Googs has nuanced views and is a sarchastic prick. Which I love!

Correct, completely guilty and I own it. Doesn't change the above. Putting so much time into not liking something is a common occurrence here. One of life's many mysteries.
Any other issues you'd like to discuss today?

I like it too
It's been a long time coming....the sun needs to come out again.
They go back 100 years. The late 60s and 70s were bad, but 2017-21 was and is a special kind of bad. The best season was 2020 where we blew so many leads it felt like a NYG fan's birthright
Why the hell not.

Those 5 teams are my concern as well. The race to the bottom will be an interesting one to watch this year from that perspective. If we can get a QB out of ut though, it'll make all the difference. I'm optimistic about this front office for the first time in a while. Looks like the Tisches stepped in and did what needed to be done. Schoen and Brown are a heckuva nice 1-2 punch to have leading the way.

So this is your idea of being gray and not being so set in your ways, huh? Well done.

You realize you are complaining about me complaining about others complaining, right? How long can that circle go? Your turn!
Getting back on track, do you miss football?
