Lol sure.  I'm just staring facts.

Best of luck to Gettleman and the Giants.  I hope they enjoy drafting a hogmahlie at WR with that #17.

You are overly emotional. Gettleman made some great moves and some bad ones.

obj is a cancer. I would not be surprised if that browns team is destroyed by him.  Also, what nobody is talking about. The dude never shows up when it matters most.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but all I'm saying is, his philosophy is to cut his nose off to spite his face.  Yeah we got to a Superbowl, but not properly addressing the tackles or replacing Smitty's production cost us the chance to win it.  And that was his doing...  except with Smitty he didn't try to get any value and just outright released him.

Same thing with Norman.  He got his feelings hurt in negotiations and had to show him who the boss was and released him.  Very short sighted...  and we still have problems at corner today.

And again, you're discounting that the biggest contributors to "his" winning teams were Hurney's guys lol.

But, we've all debated this over the years ad nauseam...  I guess for the Giants benefit, at least he's learned to trade guys for value instead of outright releasing them.

My biggest problem with Gettelmen was what he did after a good season.. He never wanted to build off of momentum.. We have a good season and he spend the next offseason jettisoning and trying to rebuild whole positions groups.. Which killed any momentum from the season before... We spent half the next season with no chemistry at that position.

Yall  really think Gettlemen screwed up?  I do not. He fixed a mistake.  OBJ is a pain in the ass.  Giants are in rebuild mode, and they get J. Peppers, a  first rounder, a third  rounder, and out of a bad contract, in my opinion.  OBJ is a highlight reel, but he is simply good, not great. 1000 yards on 77 receptions.  That is 64 yards per game and an average of 1 TD every 2.66 games. He averaged less than 5 catches per game...That is not (to me) worth $1.125 million per game--that costs the fans $230K per catch. 

Just my opinion.  

Yes, NY may run Gettlemen out of town...he gave OBJ a ridiculous contract and then trades him about a dozen games later?

You don't re-sign the guy to a mega deal in the first place. Yes they got pretty good compensation but they are eating a 16 million dollar cap hit now and need to replace his production.

Also if you are in rebuild mode you should be trying to trade Eli for what ever you can get for him because he isn't the future.

We all know DG doesn't give a fug about Legendary veteran players.

It becomes less ridiculous when comparing it to the Antonio Brown situation. Getty probably saw him as a ticking time bomb who could force his hand into trading him and getting essentially nothing in return like Brown did to the Steelers. Add in the future cap space cleared up and it's not a terrible return, especially since OBJ has also been pretty injured the last few years and that trend may continue. Still kind of ridiculous that Getty signed him to that huge contract and then turned around and traded him a year later.

Let's say they love Murray.  Now they can trade up and get him.  So they get their QB, have a great RB, and they drop $18m from the cap and maybe  Eli's salary ($23m).  That gives the Giants their QB of the future and $41m in cap space (theoretically).  They could not only sign a WR, they can sign a tackle, a safety, a linebacker.  Then they can draft (after Murray) a DE and CB and OL.

Bad trade?  Get the best QB in the draft and fill  4 other needs?
