mushypeaches Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 yes, let's please get back on the cycle of overpaying the most replaceable position in football. Should we also pursue Todd Gurley? Melvin Gordon? Mark Ingram? David Johnson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Cautionary tale with drafting RB's that high in today's NFL. DON'T DO IT. Since the Giants didn't want to go QB that year the next three non QB's off the board that year were Ward, Nelson, and Chubb. They pry could've traded down a few spots and still obtained one of them.

That’s just a lot to invest on a guy coming off a major injury like that. I’d rather use our first or second round pick on a RB on a rookie deal. Barkley is either going to be a one year rental (and first year back from an ACL is almost always a down year from their pre-injury production) or cost a lot to keep, money we don’t have to spend. Spend big on a QB, WR, and OL...no where else on offense. Plus there are much cheaper options in free agency too that won’t cost a 2nd round pick if they wanted to add another veteran RB. Barkley is a game breaker though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could easily return to form and lead the league in rushing. Better than anyone we could get at #61. He is only the former #2 overall pick because the Giants are idiots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 1 hour ago, BuffaloBills1998 said: He’s damaged goods at this point. Can’t stay healthy and has been way overused due to them not having any consistency from the QB position That depends what he’s asking for come contract time. If he’s looking to get a pay day I think the giants let him walk or they trade him So mccaffery is damaged good.....but Barkley isn’t? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Austin was worth 6 million back in 1973. What would he be worth by today's standards and inflation rate? Remember, we have limited cap space😆 Might be worth it. I remember him kicking Dick Butkus's ass in an episode. Edited March 13, 2021 by billsbackto81 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think there's any chance the Giants do anything with Barkley other than accept his 5th year option?

Seasons1992 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 2 hours ago, Victory Formation said: He’s missed 17 games over 2 seasons and is coming off a torn ACL. The Giants are debating on whether to pick up his 5th year option or not or whether to extend him to a long term deal. Would you guys inquire about him if you were Brandon Beane? Think a 2nd would get it done? I didn't read any responses. Absolutely not. No running back deserves a 2nd contract unless they are HOF worthy. This is a terrible idea.

BADOLBILZ Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 This board and the fascination with runnin' bax. How many examples do some of you need to see to know that you don't draft them early, don't trade good picks for them and don't pay them big. Very simple rules. If Barkley becomes a free agent and has to take a cheap, Leonard Fournette kinda' deal.........and you really need a veteran RB.........that's your opening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I’m old but I never banked any slide rule manufacturers or abacus retail establishments. Poor guy had to go from place to place collecting loose change in the GOOD days! Oh, and I have ZERO interest in Barkley unless he’s dirt cheap and healthy. But if he were both...... . Edited March 13, 2021 by Augie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
