I did go game by game. Stafford went out after the November 3rd game. He played in all eight games from the opener thru the Nov 3rd game.
Look at KG's stats from 9/8 to 11/3. Those were with Stafford and he was more productive.
I don't disagree that KG was never a true WR1.
Why bring Jones into this? If you don't think he is a elite one maybe it's more on him or those who wanted him here at his cost. That is a fair rationale. Not having MS (who I like) is not a big part of the equation here especially with most likely physical issues KG has.
Where did I bring Jones into this?
"Fair point. In Detroit, and this was mentioned by a few of us when we signed KG, Stafford could throw KG open because he is fearless with his confidence that he can put the ball anywhere."
Come on.
Can also seemingly completely blame KG. A man that has had WAY more proven success in the NFL. It's puzzling.
Especially the fact that DJ seems to have an aversion to throwing contested balls, which is really a part of KG's game, perhaps there is something to his frustration.
Not saying I like him just that I feel like I see the same people ready to tar and feather this guy and falling over themselves to make excuses for DJ.
KG can’t get open. He does not separate no matter how much he may work in practice. I don’t care who he is or what is contract looks like. A WR who cannot get pork does not belong in the field. At that point we can just put another OL out there to block.
I want someone to show me highlights of KG getting open consistently in a giants uniform against man coverage.
Connor Hughes video about the Golladay interviews today - ( New Window )
Leonard Williams restructured.
I bet Golladay said kiss my ass and now he is making moves to get traded-or if they can drive him insane enough he does something to void his contract(walks out or no-shows)
He also would not be the first athlete to be done while thinking he has plenty left
Where does it lie
What I can’t figure out is that last year 1st 4 games with Jones healthy he avg 6.5 targets and 4.5 catches and 70 ypg. That went away with Jones after Dallas injury as well as the other QB. His best after was 3/53
Keep speaking, Kenny!!
I like the way you think.
Keep it up, Kenny! They're hosing you! You deserve better!
It should be obvious to the beat reporters that Daboll plays the WRs who deserve to play based on what they do in practice.
Julian Love in an interview yesterday on the fan suggested that some guys are better game day players than practice players, when asked about Golladay
Plaxico was one of those guys. Golladay has some pelts on his belt, this team is in need of playmakers at receiver, get him involved
I m glad he s unhappy, It s be more concerning if he wasn t.
Go back and watch videos of him in Detroit. Players just don't fall off like he did unless there is a lingering health issue. He isn't the same player. It is that simple. He doesn't have the same burst, acceleration, speed, etc. His routes were aggressive in Detroit. Now it looks like he is in quicksand.
It feels good to finally feel good to trust people who I think know much more than I do and are thus better able to make decisions. Most, if not all of us here, don’t really have all the inside facts and certainly don’t have first hand knowledge. Much of what we have comes from some media guy telling us what he thinks or believes.
So, if someone thinks poor Kenny is being picked or Kenny is just a slacker ….not really relevant to me. What do the “terrific trio” think? Ahhhhh, that is what I’ll listen to?
Not trying to be mean spirited or downplay anyone’s opinion- nothing wrong with sharing such, especially on a public message board.
Jeez Louise Gettleman signed free agents like a middle schooler playing fantasy football. "Hey, I've heard that name before, let's sign him!"
Golladay was running around with a fork in his back last year; right now, he's carrying around the whole kitchen silverware drawer.
This has happened to better players like Cruz and Nicks, who thought they could still play after major injuries. I don't think KG can make those contested catches or good routes anymore. The coaches can see it, though.

Yeah we get it. It's all Daniel Jones all the time. There is no other subject worth discussing.

Kenny Golladay has always been candid and nothing he said today was disrespectful. He basically said what you’d expect a disgruntled player to feel. The one thing that caught my ear was, “even people on the team were kind of like, ‘What’s going on?’”
This doesn’t bother me at all. We all want to win the next game, but this season is also about changing the old vibe and establishing some new standards. One of which is guys who work hard in practice will earn PT
And we’re not talking about playing a scrub over Randy Moss here. Sills offers pretty much the same or better as Golladay at this point
I’d bet this is at least in part related to learning the offense. There was plenty of chatter about how Daboll and Kafka’s scheme gave WRs more autonomy, but required both pre and post snap reads and being on the same page with the QB
It’s no stretch to question whether Golladay is putting the time in to get on the same page as Jones, and mis-reading coverages is showing up on practice and game film. Conversely, Sills has by all accounts put a lot of time in with Jones to be in synch

Is DJ one of the highest paid players at his position? Is it that hard to understand there are different circumstances at play here?
Yeah, the money is different.
Golloday has a better case than Jones. He excelled in college and the NFL. Jones has never produced anywhere.
The money is different, so is something else.
Get this guy off the fucking roster, as soon as possible.

and some of you are actually proving the point. You want to string this guy up and he's played poorly but so has DJ yet everyone makes excuse after excuse for him.
How exactly are conditions supposedly untenable for a QB but KG's poor play is entirely on him? It's a point on hypocrisy.
And yeah, I don't hate Jones, I just want him fairly assessed, something many fail to do.
Yeah like Glennon and Fromm were lighting it up throwing to him with their fearless throwing.
Just curious what was your old handle?

and find out what is going on between KG and the coaching staff
There is some mystery there to you? I don't understand. Why are Brian Dabbol's and Kenny Golladay's comments not to be taken at face value? If they are, why is there a mystery? I don't see what's hard to understand.
Nothing a coach or player says in this type of issue is to be taken at face value. Daboll says KG is working hard and being professional. If that is true then why isnt he playing? Clearly there is more to the story
Feels like its turning to a staring contest between both sides.
One of two things will happen. He’ll either snap out of it and start producing or somehow he’ll be gone. I’m fine with either option.
Why? Who gives a shit what he says? He can pout all he wants. The team is in control of (t)his situation.
When a coach says "playing time has to be earned" and you see high paid guys sitting on the bench - everybody knows he must be dogging it in practice and possibly showing up, not knowing the playbook.
Sit there Kenny and enjoy the view from the bench during your last year with the Giants.
Didn't some Detroit fans say "Good luck with that guy"?
And I don't get why when we are talking about Golladay somehow DJ gets dragged into it.
Golladay is not producing on the field for whatever reason, it doesn't matter. We can't stop someone who isn't productive just because they make big bucks.
Signing Golladay has been a disaster. Money wasted that could have bought us two or three quality free agents starters. Think how much better we would be.
Golladay had head and health issues in Detroit and we still signed him. Just terrible signing.
Let's get real.
I still think Solder is #1 on the list because it really showed how clueless Gettleman was. I know many here took a while to see it, but this was exhibit A
Golladay is a very close #2 based on how little he has played and how useless he has been with Jones.
Who’s next?

I'd say Stewart was the most useless..but it was relatively cheap.
If Golladay is gone after this season with little to show I will say his was the worst over Solder. At least Solder got on the field, as bad as it was.

Solder stunk, but at least his play rapidly jumped off the cliff and it was a calculated risk with a HOF QB.
Golladay is unforgivable for a few reasons. A - this clown was gonna trade for him until Judge took the keys from gramps. B - he outbud himself on money and years after the dude had friggin hip surgery
Not setting world on fire but very respectable.
Then KG got hurt, missed three games, came back for three quiet games before Jones got hurt.
If the issue now were actually a matter of Jones not wanting to throw to KG, how to explain those 27 targets in the first four games of 2021?
The most plausible explanation is that KG is another year slower and further down the hill.
He's three years removed from the year that got him the big contract. A lot of guys are NFL old at 28.
Nice post.

Kenny Golladay flashed some impressive athleticism today in practice. An out route led him to the sideline at full speed, so Golladay and Darnay Holmes hurdled a waist-high cooler simultaneously.
The Golladay situation is perplexing to me. I wish I knew just what the problems are between him and Daboll. It just seems to me that the Giants are wasting a guy who could (the operative word) be an asset to the offense.
It's not rocket science.
Wake up and make a few plays on Monday night for your teammates, and stop being an ass…
There have been reports all summer of the coaching staff getting on Golladay in practices at times. Reporters have mentioned a lack of effort at times. Do you honestly believe Daboll has told him he’s doing everything right?
It is odd you cannot see through this statement by the very actions Daboll has taken…
His 2020 season is misrepresented here. He caught 20 passes in 4 games for near 17 yards a catch and 2 td's. He caught 2/3 of the passes sent in his direction. He hasn't come close to those numbers here. You guys act like he's 35. He is not yet 29.
Apparently, some of you have learned a new term "separation". This is the NFL. It is rare for a wideout not named Kupp or Jefferson to consistently separate at this level. Unfortunately, the qb is not good in those situations which is part of the reason he has so much trouble completing passes in the red zone. Golladay is a bad fit here for the qb's skills.
It's not rocket science.
The team should bite the bullet, eat what they have to on the contract and trade Golladay to GB or wherever for whatever they can get before his agent tells him to take care of his body, sit on the bench, collect his paychecks and the agent will get him out of here in the offseason.
