Barkley on Rich Eisen

chuckydee9 : 9/13/2024 4:26 pm
Dudes a class act and didn't throw the Giants under the bus. We always say things about DJ being a class act. I just want to add that even Barkley was a great guy. We ruined his career far worse than we ruined DJs career yet he doesn't say anything bad about us.

I considered the Turf at MetLife as part of the Giants.
I don't think anyone thinks either Barkley or Jones  
Mike from Ohio : 9/13/2024 4:31 pm : link
are anything but great guys. They are. That is just a very different thing than being a proud part of this organization. Both of them joined a bad team, and the team remained bad while they both got very wealthy. Good for them, bad for the Giants.

Fair. the turf sucks, but Barkley tore his ACL (which was the worst of his injuries) in Chicago.


he did the right things when he was here so im happy for his success  
Eric on Li : 9/13/2024 4:32 pm : link
and sad for the fact that this org is in such a state that there's probably going to be a lot more success in his future than theirs.

I am one of the most fiery Eagles haters on the planet!!!!  
GiantBlue : 9/13/2024 4:41 pm : link
Yet I root for that guy. I hope he has a HOF career!

I loved him at Penn State. I loved him as a Giant. I love him now.

And no, I didn't have his jersey. LOL. Just appreciated all the dude was about.

Go Saquon!

Eagles are my most hated team but I can't get myself to hate Barkley.

Want to buy my signed giants jersey of his?
I have no ill will towards Saquon.  
Section331 : 9/13/2024 5:34 pm : link
He was a very good player on some very bad teams, and carried that 2022 team to the playoffs. I don’t even begrudge him going to Philly, they made him a very nice offer, one the Giants wouldn’t match. Going back to his home team, who can blame him? I won’t root for him, he is an Eagle after all.
We ruined his career?  
ThomasG : 9/13/2024 5:50 pm : link
I didn’t do anything. And I prayed we didn’t take him that night back in 2018.

But a moron did.
We can rightfully criticize the pick  
Jerry in_DC : 9/13/2024 6:25 pm : link
We can say he's overrated. We can say his game has flaws.

But the guy did have exceptional talent and could do some spectacular things. From just a utilitarian overall football fan perspective, it does suck that he came to the Giants. It would have been fun to watch him and see if he could harness his potential with a better team.

Will Barkley last the whole season without injury?

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 9/13/2024 6:34 pm : link
He's seems like a good dude.
He Signed With The Eagles  
Trainmaster : 9/13/2024 7:48 pm : link
he's dead to me.

I do NOT wish him any injuries, but I think ultimately (probably not this year), the contract the Eagles gave Barkley will bite them in the ass due to Barkley missing too many games or playing and being dinged up.

Barkley started 43 of his last 51 games with the Giants.
What was the Giants record in those  
arniefez : 9/13/2024 10:46 pm : link
games?
I for get which poster here on BBI  
smshmth8690 : 9/13/2024 11:14 pm : link
said it first when Barkley signed with Philadelphia, but imo they said it best. "I wish him good health".

I hope he stays healthy, but I hope the Eagles don't win any games.

Do you think Barkley was perhaps just a talented player on a bad team. Ever seen a great player on a bad team before ? No? Never? Amazing.

He’s gonna have 20 tds and 2000 all purpose yards this year. For a winning team.

because that's what happens  
islander1 : 9/14/2024 1:22 am : link
when you put an elite running back behind a good offensive line.

He played a bad QB and terrible line for the majority of his time here. Never played with a true passing threat and not to mention the coaching.

In the words of Mara they did everything to screw him up.
Tiresome Drama  
DonQuixote : 9/14/2024 9:00 am : link
Barkley bolting to the Eagles and then giving sympathy and advice is nauseating. Move on dude.

Daniel Jones being lauded for his work ethic while throwing 5 yard dump off passes into the ground is absurd.

Tiresome. nauseating. absurd.
I couldn’t possibly care less about Saquon Barkley

He had over 2,000 scrimmage yards as a rookie (and led the league in the statistic), won OROY, and went to the pro-bowl.

He got hurt year 2 and the team struggled more, and he tore his ACL year 3.

His healthy 2022 was similar to his rookie year. Not as many receptions, but pretty close to the rushing #'s.

I said what I said and I stand by it.

Tons or players had good careers on bad teams and without injury Barkley very likely could have too.

Mara's comments were about Jones, not Barkley.
I miss Saquon Barkley....  
Fishmanjim57 : 9/14/2024 7:38 pm : link
I liked when he was on the team, and it saddened me with the amount of times he was injured.
I heard that after the Giants horrific game last week, Saquon called his close friend and ex-teammate Daniel Jones to give him some support.
As I've always said, Saquon Barkley is a classy man. It's too damn bad the Giants screwed up so badly that he left the organisation.

I agree but I wish all eagles and cowboys injuries.
