Posting it again on this page, because folks will be asking

Agreed. Being with a partner who has her own success and can stand on her own and being able to feed off that, is much different than having to drag someone riding your coat tails.

thread is moving fast...

You're sticking up for those voting players while bashing bills fans, Jalen.

Found Jalen Ramsey's account.

They obviously care if they voted an MVP-caliber player as overrated.

We're all "over it". It's just funny to mention because it makes those voting players look obviously butthurt.

LEETTTTS GOOOOOOOO

Deleted makes it seem more like she let the cat out of the bad too soon. It was a real post on her real account.

I mostly agree. Especially in theory. But when the specific situation sticks you with Dnaiel Jones... they should have known better.

Like finally going to the playoffs the year before you are trying to draft a QB from one of the highest rated QB classes ever. They just werent realistic as to what that season really was, who Jones really is, and what they still needed to do.

What about keeping Barkley and getting a QB? Keep Barkley, trade down in the 2024 draft so you pick up an extra 2025 1st, and could still probably have landed BTJ. Then they have an extra pick this year to maneuver up and get a QB. This is similar to what the Bills and Beane did. Trade down in 2017, but still get some core guys. Shore up the OL. Then have ammo to move up and get your QB the next year. I'm surprised Schoen didnt copy. The bold is pretty much what Im saying. They chose wrong in sticking with DJ instead of re-signing Barkley and looking for a new QB. As it stands, they are still looking for a new QB, but now dont have Barkley either. See above: The Bills broke the drought and made the playoffs in 2017 and were still able to move up and land Josh Allen. They had a plan. The Giants didnt seem like they really had a plan. I tend to blame Owner Influence on that too.

Tell that to the Commanders. Or the Texans. It doesnt take 3+ years to rebuild in the NFL. Dont get me wrong, I agree the Giants suck. My point is, a big reason they suck is because they are mismanaged and didnt have a good plan in the FO.

I literally said draft a QB. Not draft another RB. As it stands, from what we saw in 2024 and the way it looks in the near future, the Giants FO had no plan and still dont have a plan.

Right. So keep your superstar and build around him. As it stands, they were much worse without Barkley and still didnt have an OL or QB. Now they are back to square one with zero assets.

The NFL loves selling commercial time.

Theyre not announcing MVP until the last award, right? So 11pm ish

It aint rocket surgery. You pay your superstar RB, improve your OL, and draft a QB. Prioritizing Jones made even less sense. At least the other route is a long term plan.

Definitely agree that it was dumb to draft him #2 overall. I have to imagine if there was a 2018 redraft, Josh and Lamar go #1 and #2 in either order. That said, I think Schoen messed it up big time last year by choosing to stick with a QB that everyone in that building had to know wasnt the guy. Even with the big salary in 2024. They spent a lot of time scouting Jayden Daniels. Schoen made a number of attempts to move up in the draft. They had to know Jones was on his way out. If that's the case, then pay Barkley with a plan to draft a QB in 2025 and have your QB on a rookie deal while paying your RB. Instead they got both wrong. I'm sure Beane has an open door for when Schoen needs a job as an asst GM.

Prime Time = more $$$ for Roger. Cant air it live at 6pm when folks are still stuck in traffic.

Ha, I wouldnt go that far. They just arent all tears and woe. More so hoping this will allow the kids to sell, like I thought.

Just checked in with Bears fans, and I was wrong.

While no one is celebrating a death, Bears fans have been waiting for this. One step closer to pushing out the McCaskeys.

I can say that the Pats are the only Division Rival that has made a move I actually (slightly) worry about. Hiring Vrabel is the best move made by an AFC East team since we drafted Josh. The good news is, they still have a long ways to go. It will depend on how they use all that cap space and those high draft picks. And of course, what McDaniels can get out of Maye. I could see us splitting with the Pats and going 5-1 in the Division next year. Still our Division to lose, but will definitely be keeping an eye on NE.

That is the rub. You have to be ok with the "you get what you get" approach, and be ready to make the most of it. Like, I didnt expect to have 10 lbs of radishes in my fridge. But now I do. So what can I cook with them...
