For the Optimists, Imagine if....

It's a New Day : 8/11/2022 8:40 am
Imagine if...
KT wrecks opposing O-lines all year.

Imagine if...
Daniel Jones just plays top 15 QB football this season.

Imagine if...
Saquon is back 100%

Imagine if...
Yong Joka and Robinson reach 75% of their potential

Imagine if Kenny Golladay becomes the Golladay he was in Detroit

Imagine if...
Neil develops as Andrews did last season?

Imagine if...
Andrew Thomas becomes a top 5 stud this season

If these things and NOTHING else surprising happens... imagine what we could be in a weak division.

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
I believe some of what you hypothesize

I've been a Giants fan too long to be optimistic

In your hypothetical the Giants would go up by 3 scores in the 3rd quarter of their playoff game and then collapse.

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Neil and Andrews?
Dream on, dream on, dream on

Dream until your dreams come true (ew ew ew)

I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

We should be ready to win bigly by now

You know I've always been a dreamer
(Spent my life running 'round)
And it's so hard to change
(Can't seem to settle down)
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are

I died a little inside just typing those
the first and last ones  
bluepepper : 8/11/2022 1:24 pm : link
would be enough for me. Would bode very well for future. I'd toss in Evan Neal becoming a top-10 RT by 2023.

All these are also realistic.

Jones having a top 15 years is nice but also kind of meh. If he's only middle of the pack by year 4 not sure how much higher he can go. And 15 is not what you want in today's NFL.

Damn dude. Why? WHY?
OK, I’ll Play  
Trainmaster : 8/11/2022 1:57 pm : link
1) KT wrecks opposing O-lines all year. Seems likely (fingers crossed)

2) Daniel Jones just plays top 15 QB football this season. I think likely for top 15 (others will violently disagree) he needs to be a clear top 10 to get a new long term deal. That is less than 50/50

3) Saquon is back 100% - At least close to 100% seems very likely

4) Yong Joka and Robinson reach 75% of their potential - unlikely for KT89, very likely for Robinson

5) Kenny Golladay becomes the Golladay he was in Detroit - a snow ball’s chance in Hell. He’s cooked

6) Neal develops as Andrews did last season? Neal will improve, but not expecting year 2 level play from Neal in year 1

7) Andrew Thomas becomes a top 5 stud this season - Likely IMHO

Schoen and Daboll evaluate what they have in terms of talent this season.

Make necessary changes for next season.

I am generally an optimist. Why wouldn't you be? What are the risks?  
mikeinbloomfield : 8/11/2022 4:44 pm : link
Being wrong, I guess? A lot has to go right this year for the Giants to contend. I will be happy, this year, just for the team and the front office to show competence. Limiting the dumb stuff is half the battle in being a successful organization. I think we've got the right people in place.

It's going to be a fun year.

Some of them are, and some of them are not.
