OT: Football thread (2024 season)

Jets not planning to shut down Aaron Rodgers yet despite injuries, will start vs. Seahawks

Aaron Rodgers, who has been "banged up" this season, is apparently now the healthiest he's been in weeks.

That was my point. The argument that the Giants won't ever have a black QB because they haven't is a dumb argument made by race baiters. Considering:

1) They had a black GM for 10 seasons.

2) They had one QB that played all but one game in Eli Manning for 15 seasons from 2004 to 2019.

3) The anger over the racism of this org mostly started because the Giants draft Jones over Haskins. But Haskins was not a can't miss prospect and was a worse player than Daniel Jones.

Well the top QBs in this class are black (I think, sanders and ward , not a big CFB follower). So if the Giants finish with a top pick they will finally break that streak and people should shut up about it

The only thing that's sore is his ego from Mayfield owning the shit out of him.

They're trending for a top 3 pick. My initial reaction is to trade it for a haul given what's going to be available. They're never going to draft a black quarterback. Just not happening. I'm so confused by all of the mock drafts that have Sanders going to the Giants. His father pretty much ruled it out. He's going to go to Dallas.

Jeanty? Looks explosive but his competition is shit. Hunter will be off the board unless they grab #1 or #2 overall. Kid is special but I'm skeptical a CB will go #1 overall at the end of the day.

Trade the pick for 3 future 1sts and a trade down this year and commit to the rebuild.

I don't get this...why wouldn't the Giants not draft a black QB? Why even make this an issue?

Because some racists in the media have said so.

They objectively have never done it. I have no issue at all. BPA all the way.

They've signed black QBs, played black QBs etc. why is 'never done it before' a valid reason that they won't do it for the right guy?

Somehow "have never done it" is proof that they're racist. This is basically the politics of the last 20 years.

 

[Chytilmania]

No they shouldnt. We can find other failures just as easy.

On a side note: Rex Ryan wants to coach the Jets again. I say hell yeah! If we are still going to suck at least have an entertaining coach.

Call me crazy but Rex Ryan with Daboll as OC might not be a bad idea. It might also be a catastrophe but who else is going to want to work with Woody?

I mean can the franchise sink any lower anyway?

Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold on the same team

 

[NickyFotiu]

Good choice by DJ and by the Vikings. They have a great head coach. They have a good line. They have good WR and TE. DJ can sit back and learn from a well run team as a backup. I'm happy for him. I will be rooting for Minny for sure.

 

[NickyFotiu]

I was thinking what was the best time in the last 10 (or more) years for the Giants. It was the road playoff win less than 2 years ago vs the Vikings. Since that time the Giants have gotten rid of almost every starter from that team.

Dex remains a dominant starter.
Slayton remains but is likely gone in 6 games.
AT remains but is injured.
Bellinger rarely plays.
Hodgins is practice squad.

It’s looking like Drew Lock is going to start tomorrow lol

 

[Brutananadilewski]

I think Drew seems like a great guy. Can they block for him?

Pat McAffee just said the best offensive lines are best teams (in NFC). Hard to disagree.
