OT: 2025 NY Giants Off Season Thread

[Morrischiano]

The Stafford buzz is growing. Schoen and Daboll must be worried that a 3-5 win season will result in their firing so drafting a questionable QB with the #3 pick and then get crushed by the 2025 schedule might not be their preferred path.

I'm just tired of sh!tty football for the last 8 years so going with Stafford as a stopgap is a welcome and worthwhile swing to take.

That being said, Stafford is getting old and there are only 2 players in recent US sports history that were able to play at consistent "playoff level" as they approach age 40. That's Lebron and Tom Brady. Stafford is 37 right now. Sean Mcvay and Les Sneed are one of the smartest HC & GM combos in the NFL. It worries me that they are ready to move on from Stafford.

Buzz growing in February means only, at best, that the vast world of the internet and blogosphere are yammering about it. I give this supposed "buzz" no credence. More generally, though, I have no reason to believe that Schoen will do anything but mostly make bad decisions, and he has a host of bad options in front of him (as do all GMs all the time). If history is any guide, there's a good chance he'll pick one of those.

After losing out on Stafford, rumors are that the Giants are interested in friggin Aaron Rodgers.
As much as I'd love to see him get pummeled due to the Giants porous O-line, I can't root for any team he's quarterbacking. After 60 years I may have to stop rooting for the G-men.

I don't believe anything this time of year.
Players use teams to get their dollars up from other teams.
Teams run feints on draft picks and agents lay narratives.

I'd take this in a heartbeat. Giants would be stupid to not consider it.

 

[willisneverrana43]

If all of this is true, it means that the Giants aren't enamored of Ward or Sanders.

It's a shame the Jets didn't have those stats on Rodgers' last season when they decided to part ways with him.
What were they thinking ?

Are the stats wrong? Fact is he would be the best QB the Giants had since Manning.

If you take his numbers from last season with the Jets and assume similar numbers with the Giants in 2025...when he is one year deeper into his forties...then I guess you would be hoping the Giants sign him. And wondering why the Jets gave up on him. Although i suggest you take a look at his numbers with Gang Green in 2023.
Regardless of his numbers, the guy is an ass and I could never root for a team that he is quarterbacking.

I still think he could put up similar numbers. There are players that have done much much worse then him, Ray Rice is one of them.

That's probably the lamest of arguments.

It’s not an argument it’s a fact. The guy is a little strange but a good football player.

Really ? It's a good argument on someone's behalf to say that others have done worse ?
I don't think so.

The guy is more than a little strange, and, he USED to be a good football player.

I don't think so.

So what did he do that's so bad? Please explain, I don't think he has ever been involved with the law.

The guy is more than a little strange, and, he USED to be a good football player.

He used to be a great MVP football player. Now he is a good one. Yeah the whole dark room thing I find very odd, but I can live with that kinda stuff. Out of all the potential vet QB's he is the best IMO.

I feel that those in charge of the Giants have some inflated view of how good they actually are. They were willing to spend close to 50 million in a contract with Matt Stafford? For what purpose? The rest of the team needs a ton of work and it's going to need multiple drafts to do it. They should just go after a one year veteran that's cheap, draft a QB (or not if they don't like them), then boot next season which has a much harder schedule and build through the draft.

The fans are just gonna have to be patient with this one.

No way of knowing if that was actually true or just media fodder.

Well I guess that’s true. The overall point is why throw good money away when a full rebuild is needed?

This is NFL in 2025 - a bunch of bad teams who cant block, grasping at rusty, old greats who are mostly over the hill and an injury away from wasting 50-60 mil.

 

[willisneverrana43]

Not so. Just in New York.

Don't trade up, trade down and hope Jaxson Dart is on the board.
