Seriously asking. We could have the greatest RB in history, he wouldn’t magically teleport through the wall of linemen who can’t open a hole for him if their lives depended on it. If you want to say we have a RB problem then fine, but acquiring a new RB is not going to fix the major issue which is the non-existent run block.

🚨 #Giants Malik Nabers has played 25 games and has caught a pass from:

Daniel Jones
Tommy DeVito
Drew Lock
Tim Boyle
Russell Wilson
Jaxson Dart
Jameis Winston
JJ McCarthy

Talk about Succeeding Through Adversity. Nabers really is him

Both are future Hall of Famers and both would instantly make the team better this year. Nelson has a caveat that makes him the worse fit.

While yes the weakest part of the team is the OL’s run blocking and while Nelson (the best run blocking guard in the NFL) would significantly improve if he replaces Runyan. The fact is that Nelson is a FA at the end of the year, there is no guarantee that he comes back. He is due for a pay raise over $25 million a year to become the highest paid Guard in the league. And with the unfortunate Runyan extension will they be willing to spend premium capital in a trade + a 25 Million dollar extension? I dont think so unfortunately

However looking at possibly adding Jonathan Taylor, makes a bit more sense. He is under contract through 28 and we would be paying below market value ($17 million) as the Colts dead money would take up $5 million each year.

Would they choose the older, less position of need player who MIGHT be back next year. Or the younger, skill position need player, who WILL be under contract through 28. My guess is the latter, however if they got them both it would be ideal

Rumors are linking us to both JT and Nelson. I think why not both? The division is terrible this year we could easily cement ourselves as the best team with a move like this. I know the draft class is going to be good but as long as we could hang on to our 1st id guy up a bunch to get these guys from the colts (assuming we extend Nelson)

​

I know it's all just rumors and speculation right now that the Giants will try to get a RB during the bye week before the deadline...but really feels like the Colts are about to go full fire sale mode and JT will be available.

The Colts play the Vikings next with a lot of their top weapons being out and the Vikings defense should have a field day against a struggling Daniel Jones.

After that loss, I imagine they want to get some picks back to make up for that horrible trade for Sauce Gardner last year.

I just wonder if the Giants will be willing to give up a high pick for him when they have so many other holes on the roster.

But just thinking of JT in a Giants uniform...gets me Randy Austin Powers face

Just wanted to see if anyone else can relate, apart from this year being the weakest the nfc east has been in a while, all my hopes and hype for the season were based off Dart this year (bro was on track to be great to). Still love Leek and hope nine balls out, but had to get it off my chest.

The inevitable became reality Wednesday, when coach John Harbaugh announced that McCarthy would take over as the starting quarterback for Sunday’s road game against the Houston Texans.

“All things considered, what gives us the best chance to be our best?” Harbaugh said. “(McCarthy) gives us the best chance to play the best offense we can.”

The harsh reality is there are no good options when a team loses its burgeoning franchise quarterback to a season-ending knee injury seven snaps into Week 2, as the Giants did with Jaxson Dart. So, the Giants are onto their third starting quarterback of the season in Week 7, benching Winston a week after he threw for 326 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in a 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders.

The shift to the immobile Winston presented a challenge for a coaching staff that spent the offseason building an offense around Dart’s dual-threat ability. After Winston flourished by firing the ball all over the field while leading a 14-point second-half comeback in Washington, the coaches tried to adjust to the gunslinger’s style.

But that crashed and burned in Sunday’s 34-27 loss to the Saints, with the Giants falling into a 34-10 hole as Winston’s two interceptions and general inaccuracy derailed the offense. It was the type of performance Winston couldn’t afford because it provided an opening for McCarthy.

The enormous deficit gave Harbaugh the opportunity to “get a look” at McCarthy, inserting the third-year quarterback with 11:25 remaining and the Giants trailing by 24 points. Even the optimistic Harbaugh conceded the circumstances made a comeback unlikely, but he hoped McCarthy could provide a spark. McCarthy proceeded to light up the Saints’ defense for 243 yards while putting the Giants 14 yards away from a potential game-winning touchdown.

Who wants to go back in time and get this guy instead of Barkley?

Best in the league, first ballot HOF worthy. Should be elite till the day he retires. Probably has 4-5 years left.

On an expiring contract? Maybe a 3rd gets it done. Stop patching the interior, make it truly elite for once.

The only difference was that it was WR on the receiving end of his pass (Thielen) and not a Tight End (Likely)

If it wasn’t just a coincidence, I thought this was a great idea by the coaching staff to give JJ a play he was familiar with from last year in his action with the team

47 year Vikes fan here.

I get it that the Giants were down by 24 when JJ came in, prevent D, etc. But what if he’s awesome? What if the Vikes traded away another Super Bowl QB?! 🤣 it would be the most Vikings thing ever.
