What's this?

John Mara is in way over his head as Giants owner.

He declared that the next GM/HC needed to build immediately around Eli Manning despite the offensive line needing a complete overhaul. Eli had already regressed and certainly wasn't a playoff caliber QB with the offensive line. They needed to do a complete rebuild two years ago.

Instead they hire Gettleman/Shurmur and tell them to splash money on overvalued talent.

So what did they do under Gettleman...
- Forced to overpay for declining veteran LT Solder
- Struck out on declining veteran LG Omameh
- Struck out this year on declining veteran RT Remmers
- Stick with Eli for a losing season and two games

Now they're looking at drafting a new LT, drafting/signing a Center, and moving Solder to RT or drafting/signing a new RT.

Complete clown show.

Saquon Barkley is Exhibit A why you don’t draft a RB with a Top 5 pick. -- RoswellGAHokie 12/30/2019 10:59AM

Here are the top ten picks from that draft class -- DHokie 12/31/2019 09:20AM

Agreed, and I love Saquon. You draft QB, OT, DE, LB, and CB in the top 5. -- VTDante 12/30/2019 11:42AM

Other than QB, who is a franchise player? -- turkeywinghokie 12/30/2019 11:23AM

A team has better odds finding a franchise player at kicker or punter -- VTHokie2000 12/30/2019 2:46PM

Also coincided with Eli falling off the edge of the earth. None of the QBs -- reestuart 12/30/2019 11:15AM

Eli was alway overrated but he disappeared completely about 5 years ago ** -- 81_Hokie 12/30/2019 12:56PM

Overrated? Maybe not Peyton or HOF member, but 2 SB rings say different. ** -- BamBam 12/30/2019 1:22PM

Remember the "is Eli elite" conversation some years ago? A bunch of people -- 81_Hokie 12/30/2019 2:02PM

Yes. NYG fires in-house GM Reese, ex-GM Accorsi picks ex-asst GM Gettleman. -- VTDante 12/30/2019 12:44PM

It's sad really -- EmpireHokie 12/30/2019 12:49PM

Yeah but even Wellington Mara was pushed by Pete Rozelle in the 70s -- VTDante 12/30/2019 1:24PM
