So Shurmur says Eli will be back. This organization under the really really stupid John Mara does everything ass backwards.
And a potentially positive note he didn’t rule out Murray while most beat writers have.
I am happy that that Shurmur said they will address the lines, the rest of it seems idiotic.
Dave Gettleman says his dream is to do for the Giants at quarterback what Ernie Accorsi did.
Asked if he would consider making a move to deal draft assets for that QB like Accorsi did, Gettleman quipped: “No guts, no glory, kid.”
Gelttleman says he likes the KC model of bringing along a new QB. So maybe we will take one.
I’ll be honest I can intelligently critique this model one way or the other:

Murray isn’t just a scrambler who excels working outside of the pocket and on broken plays, either. According to the ESPN Stats & Information Group, 91 percent of Murray’s 377 pass attempts in 2018 came inside the pocket, and 81.6 percent of those throws were on target and catchable. Murray faced five or more defensive backs on 82 percent of his passing attempts and threw a catchable pass 78.8 percent of the time. Against nickel and dime packages, he was even better when blitzed, with 79.1 percent of his passes charted as catchable when the defense brought pressure. And Murray didn’t just check down to the outlet receiver when the other team sent heat. Kyler pushed the ball downfield at depths of 20 yards or greater 21 percent of the time vs. a blitzing defender.
Meanwhile the other consensus first-round talent, Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins, is viewed as much less of a sure thing by the model. While his CPOE is identical to Murray’s and his QBR is similar, the model rates his yards per attempt and low average depth of target as red flags that drag down his probability of success. Nickel is the base defense in the NFL, so a quarterback’s performance against it is important, and Haskins faced five or more defensive backs far less often than Murray, dropping back against nickel or dime on just 63 percent of his pass attempts. And when Haskins was blitzed out of those looks, he was not as adept at delivering on-target passes, with 76.4 percent charted as catchable despite only 6.6 percent traveling 20 yards or more in the air.
I think it’s I’m incredibly unfair to compare Rosen to Leaf without a factual predicate. It’s an out and out smear .

Would the Giants make a play for the former UCLA Bruin who was the fourth quarterback taken last season?
Probably not. My information is that the Giants simply did not like Rosen when they met him a year ago, and that stance hasn’t changed. The Ryan Leaf comparison has even been tossed around.
So, Gettleman’s dream quarterback is unlikely to be Murray or Rosen.
I said it before his measurements yesterday and I'll say it again. Give me Kyler Murray.
You put him in this offense with Saquon & Odell, there's just no way a team can gameplan. Imagine seeing a QB scramble and throw an accurate pass to Odell or Saquon?
Giants offense is just so easy to defend based on Mannings limitations.
I also hate Gettleman, he is arrogant and completely stuck in his ways. Eli should be cut and have his $$ reinvested into other areas. He's also not going to franchise Collins and will let him walk for nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if he traded up to get Haskins, which to me is a big mistake.
I agree but don t think it will happen.

The #Giants have discussed the possibility of trading LB Olivier Vernon, sources tell me and
@RapSheet
. The big score of free agency a few years ago, Vernon might have played his last down as a Giant.
This roster was hurt so profoundly by years of Reese//Ross unchecked incompetence, exacerbated by the spending spree Mara allowed Reese to go on in his last year, that keeping a declining, immobile QB makes absolutely no football sense. And of course they seemed to know that when they unceremoniously benched Eli, but now it seems like Mara has told Archie that he’ll do whatever he wants to make amends even if it means hurting the franchise.
