Why dwell on his team's offensive performance while he was HC though? It's not an apples-to-apples comparison; we want to evaluate McAdoo's performance as an OC since that's the role he's serving here. It's logical to think, as HC, he was much more hands-off with his offense than while he was the OC where that'd be his sole focus. I think a more apt comparison is to look at the Giants' offense before and after he was brought on as OC. In 2013 (the year before McAdoo was brought on as OC), the Giants ranked 28th in yardage and 28th in points. In 2014 in McAdoo's first year as OC, the Giants ranked 10th in yardage and 13th in points. In 2015 in McAdoo's second (and final) year as OC, the Giants ranked 6th in points and 8th in yardage. That's a pretty good track record as OC, although fairly limited. I think we can all agree he was a failure as a HC and if Rhule gets fired and McAdoo takes his place full-time (beyond an interim role), I'm gonna be just as disappointed as most everyone else here.

Well yeah of course. McAdoo as a head coach hire should and would be evaluated completely differently than McAdoo as an OC hire. 99% of the board wanted Ron Rivera fired as our coach but I’m pretty sure that same 99% of the board would have loved seeing Rivera as our DC instead.

Burns is good but he seems to largely be the same guy from his rookie season. I don’t really see him having progressed or developed from season to season. Hoping to see him finally take that leap into elite territory this year.

Davis Mills is being pretty disrespected considering his rookie season compared to his fellow rookies like Lawrence, Wilson, and Fields, who Simms is rating 10+ spots higher despite them performing statistically at Darnold-levels of garbage.

There's no way he'd come within 50 miles of the Giants organization as long as Gettleman was there, but since G-magic is "retired" now, Smitty can have a little fun with them.

The draft room high-fiving is always a hot topic on the Huddle lol. I still cringe thinking about the Huddlers who obsessed for months over the clip of the Bills' 2019 draft room high-fiving after we took Greg Little, so they could take Cody Ford...the guy they moved from Tackle to Guard to Bench over the course of three seasons lol. He's basically their Dennis Daley, except they took him with the 38th overall pick. Better than Greg Little? Sure. Bust of a 2nd round pick? Also yep.

The keyword in your post is "maybe". As in there's a lot of uncertainty around Christensen and the team's vision for him, so it's very premature to have any strong opinions about his career outlook. It's pretty funny to me how the narrative around BC after the end of the season went from: "Brady looked like our second best o-lineman, after Moton. Especially later in the season". to "Man I wish the coaching staff played Brady more so we could see what we really have in him. Maybe we could actually have a capable LT on our hands if he had more playing time" to "Brady is looking like a career back-up and a waste of a 3rd round pick" The sentiment towards Brady went from positive -> uncertain -> negative...and here's the hilarious kicker...all during the OFFSEASON while Brady hasn't even done anything on the field I get that part of our opinion on a player is tied to how the coaching staff (i.e. Rhule) uses or views a player, but we're talking about the same guy who has proven to be incompetent? The same guy who not a single person on these boards trusts to exhibit sound judgment? That's the guy whose decisions are going to affect how we view a player?

Did you...mean......to compliment him...?

You ever see a T-Rex try to hike a football? Exactly...

I mean…Kenny has spent more than 3 months on our practice squad over the last two seasons. So if these teams wanted to sign him, they’ve had plenty of opportunity to do so.

Based on the exchanges in this thread, I think we know who the resident Huddle Karen is lol.

Meh he’s got some very uninspiring Rashard Higgins-esque production but I guess they’re banking on his potential. Just don’t really see him achieving that potential catching passes from Marcus Mariota.

Whoops...who's gonna tell them?

Even though this article is about a specific player on another team, this is the message that I think every fanbase should take to heart and engage in a little introspection. Every fanbase has people who incessantly direct hate online towards these players deemed underperforming - "this lazy POS just collecting paychecks" etc. and justify it by saying they make millions and therefore are subject to hate and criticism. It's okay to be levelheaded and say a player is performing poorly and that we need to upgrade a position, but fans can take it way too far. This is just common decency stuff that applies outside of the sports arena as well. If you have a server at a restaurant who is inattentive or slow with their service, puts in the wrong order, etc. But before blowing up on them, consider maybe their loved one just passed away, or they're a sleep-deprived single parent raising 3 kids at home trying to pay the bills, or they have some kind of up-and-down debilitating neuromuscular disorder and it's a particularly rough day for it. Yeah maybe in some cases it's just a lazy incompetent employee but you're not always in a position to make that judgment call so why not give the benefit of the doubt?

Rhule created the playbook and did the playcalling? Cause that’s what I’m talking about. Not some generic instruction like “run the ball a lot” or something.

Can you elaborate on what this means? 99.9% of our fanbase hates Darnold + Rhule. If we suck, they're getting boo'ed bottom line. Not sure what you mean by coddle/hide how bad he is...we know what he is at this point. Rhule knows he needs to win this year, and the way you do that is by playing the best QB. I guarantee if Corral shows out in training camp/preseason and the team believes he gives us the best chance to win, then he'll start. Simple as that.

Yeah I don't think Sam's nosedive after Game 4 was because teams figured him out...I mean as everyone points out, he's the same dude with the same issues that he's always had even since college. His/our offense's nosedive was because teams figured Joe Brady out.

Ah duh thanks.

Even crazier considering that number is boosted simply because of his height/weight. So he's even less athletic than that number would suggest.

I'm confused....is dead cap not specific to players who are cut/traded? Why would Matt Paradis and Haason Reddick have dead cap considering they simply played out the entirety of their contracts and left organically in FA (i.e. simply were not re-signed)?

Looks like a strong correlation between amount of dead cap and level of success as an organization who would have thought a crippling amount of dead cap could impact your ability to field a competent football team?!

It's hard to argue against the success of Gettleman's tenure here; his run as the Panthers' GM was objectively much more successful than Hurney's. But if you're able to evaluate his individual performance as GM within the scope of his actual role, it gets a little more muddied. People discredit Hurney's 1st round picks and say it's so easy to draft superstars in the 1st round, in particular the top 10...and yet look at those 1st round picks you've highlighted lol. Also if you evaluate their entire body of work as an NFL GM, Hurney never had anywhere close to as bad of a 4-year stretch as Gettleman's in NY (19-46 overall). I absolutely believe that Gettleman being hampered by our abysmal salary cap and not being able to afford to shop at Tiffany's was a blessing in disguise. It seems like with the Panthers and Giants, the more money and flexibility Gettleman had, the more harm he did to his team. His one big money FA signing for the Panthers? Matt Kalil. But yeah they both sucked, bottom line.

Ironic...Gettleman came here to clean up Hurney's mess, then he goes off to the Giants to create his own mess that their new GM has to come in and clean up. The circle of life. Poor Joe Schoen has his work cut out for him...what a disaster Gettleman was in NY.

I think you need to re-read the OP cause you seem to be wayyyyyy overblowing what he said out of proportion. He said he wouldn't be surprised to see the team use Hubbard at RB with CMC in the slot (an important qualifier that you are overlooking). You somehow took that as him saying Hubbard is a better RB than CMC and that we should bench CMC in favor of Hubbard? He's not even necessarily advocating for that, just saying he wouldn't be surprised. I think he's simply making a case for the package of Hubbard (RB) + Moore/Anderson/CMC (in the slot) being a potentially effective wrinkle to use in place of a package of CMC (RB) + Moore/Anderson/presumably Marshall. I don't think that's a contentious or rose-colored take, assuming he means using that package sparingly and not as our default package in transitioning CMC to full-time slot WR. But @DaveThePanther2008 can correct the record if I'm wrong and clarify if he was saying Hubbard is a better RB than CMC.

Never really been a soccer/futbol fan but I went to my first Charlotte FC game on Saturday and the atmosphere was pretty electric. I am all in on the hype - I just ordered like $250 in apparel lol. I'm still trying to figure out our roster. I don't know these guys nearly well enough to pick them out on the field during the game. But the way you guys are describing Fuchs, he sounds kinda like the Roy Kent of Charlotte FC.
