Should Pugh be starting LG next year?

Jerz44 : 12/1/2023 7:14 am
Steady veteran presence between AT and JMS could really solidly that side of the line, and he has versatility if needed.

On Talking Giants he said if he’s playing next year, it’s only if he’s playing with the Giants so it sounds like he’s open to coming back.

We have to do better as a starter.
No...  
blueblood : 12/1/2023 4:53 pm : link
and No....
Would absolutely let him compete for a job

amazing how much shit Pugh is getting on this thread. I'm not inducting the guy into the HoF but our Oline has looked significantly better since he's been on the team.
Obviously there is the causation/correlation argument...but for a guy off the couch he hasn't performed lower than expectations.
wow

Guess I am in the minority big time. I think he can be a very good LG for us. We don't have endless money so him at a decent price allows us to go get a stud RG. That would be the best OL we would have in years. Of course that would depend on Neal being average which at this point we haven't seen.
No

He's terrible. The fans that think he deserves a starting spot are probably the same ones who believe Jones just needs more time and help...
One would hope the Giants could do better  
David B. : 12/1/2023 8:06 pm : link
But we've been saying that about the OL forever.
No

Maybe as a back up on a cheap deal.. but no
He's the perfect swing T/G.

Like when we had Bob Whitfield backing up LT.

I'm fine giving him fringe starter $$$ to play that role, too.

Should be the LG and Giants need to find a starting RT
Seriously?

Have you watched him play? He is bad.
If it were just a matter of needing another offseason…

… to regain his pre-injury form, Pugh might be an option. But in 2024 he’ll be about eight years removed from his days as a “plus” player. As veteran depth on a qualifying one-year deal? Sure. I would guess that if that’s all the market will bear for him, he’ll either retire or go elsewhere.
Depending on who is available

in FA, at a reasonable price, no Pugh should not be a starter next season. He simply is not physically strong enough to play OG.
If he signs for vet minimum, he would be a good backup.

I still believe Ezeudu gets another year if they would just let him play guard only.
He might have to start but,

if he does - that is a sign our OL still has a ways to go before it is a stable talented unit.
We let him go the first time  
Bleedin Blue : 12/3/2023 9:04 pm : link
The only reason he’s here for round two is because we’re so desperate! If I remember correctly he was a clubhouse lawyer and shit stirrer! It’s a thank you, but no thank you for me

I believe it was George Young who said when a player says it's not about the money, you know it's about the money.

That said, Pugh was on the Schneider pod last week - said it's not about the money he's either playing for the Giants if that works out or retiring.
hopefully not
