Whipping Boy

[Thanatos]

Our whiff on Whitworth is inexcusable. I love Ryan but if he had some part in bringing his brother here over going hard for Andrew that was a big mistake.

I could possibly begin to consider giving Gettleman a bit of a pass for Matt Kalil if he didn't also let Ted Ginn walk in favor of Charles Johnson and Russell Shepard after seeing how signing Tiquan Underwood worked out for us.

I think Gettleman hit on a lot of his early "dumpster diving" moves with us and that built him a lot of credit with the fans. The reality seems to be that he wasn't not a wizard of a talent evaluator as most liked to believe. The latter half of this time here had quite a few blunders(draft and free agency) and he really left some obvious roster holes. That said, the one thing you can't take away from him is that he did a bang up job navigating us through the salary cap hell that Hurney Part I left us with.

Man if Dave had re-signed Ginn and picked up Whitworth? Sigh... Why did we have to have a Kalil brother hyping up Matt... 

You can add to that if he drafted Lattimore, Dalvin Cook, and Alvin Kamara instead of CMC, Samuel, and Moton

@Hogmolliesmaht for sure is posting under a different username.

Some others should probably do the same thing

Oh but Gettleman is going to make the Giants an instant contender with no QB.

If he pulls that dollar tree poo in NY he won't even last 2 seasons.

I liked Dave but have changed my opinion. I still think he did a lot of good but the thing that did it for me is him letting Ginn go twice and then giving Russell Shepard that contract

I have said it about 400 times today. The Kalil signing alone was a fireable offense.

[TheRed]

The Idea that JR forced Gettleman to sign Matt Kalil sort of holds a little water until you remember that Gettleman thought Nate Chander was an OT worth extending for multiple years.

Nooooooope.

Its not like I just changed it haha. I've been saying for a while that I didn't want him back and wanted us to find someone better to be GM

Whitworth was an easy pickup but many posters tried to tell me how old he was......

That's the thing, his age wasn't even a big deal, IMO. He was still super productive and it allowed us to fill an obvious gap for 2-3 years while we tried to draft or sign a guy to be a future. Such a stupid move not to sign him.

Where’s D Williams ranked?
