Your point about passing on a QB this year and getting one next year, I can agree with that. If you dont think ownership made the call on the future starting QB though, I think your giving Gettleman too much power then he actually has. I'm talking about his actual drafting of players, which I thought last years class was pretty good in my opinion. Its just not cool to say, because.. "her her, Gettleman". I get that he brings a lot of it onto himself with the way he talks, but people are overreacting, his eye for talent is actually pretty good.

Anyone can be a sports analysis, that's what I learned from the Daniel Jones situation.

[@ianemory5800]

So even as a bears fan that Aaron Rodgers comment is moronic. The reason why Rodgers doesn't have as many 4th quarter comebacks is because they were ahead most if the time. The bears with Cutler played the safe try to be within a touchdown going into three 4th rely on three defense to get a turnover and win late. Look at the win percentage it's a much more telling stat

[@ch33seweasel42]

Early in his career, Rodgers was admittedly not great when down in the 4th Quarter. It wasn't until the fake spike in Miami that he started doing this to teams consistently. But your point is still correct; The team won a lot because for a year and a half the D was just good enough to not need him to do that, coupled with years of the Packers offense putting up points. 12/13 Picks on defense also means nothing if those picks don't pan out. and it's funny he decides to cut out the information he is feeding us before the 2015 draft, because then he'd have to mention how not a single player from that draft is still on the team.

[@DarthChee]

With a success rate of .269% he ranks 54th out of 84 quarterbacks who have had at least 20 4th quarter comeback attempts. He literally has a worse percentage than Mark Sanchez (.296%)

[@truenorthangling4728]

@@DarthChee Maybe because the defense had given up so many points already the comeback attempt was nearly impossible?

Another telling stat is the fact that he's something like 1-40 when trailing in the 4th quarter against a team with a winning record.

[@JonathanSirico]

There is no data, no metrics no film that shows D.Jones is worth the 6th pick in the draft. Compare his data to the rest if the QBs in the draft. He is average or below in every category. Maybe he will develop into a solid starter, but there is nothing suggesting he will. He lacks any outstanding trait, expect he had a real good coach.

[@weakbrainthrombosis]

I would’ve thought they could’ve traded down and still got Daniel Jones. They should’ve picked O-line and defense.

[@Arigator2]

They could have waited till the third round. Nobody else was looking to draft the next Eli Manning.

[@meinking22]

Giants O-Line was so bad last year. Manning was hiking the ball and running for his life. Success of Barkley was a testament to his talent.

[@toddhowardsnoseismystand1965]

Lmao they still didn't take on OL in the 3rd round, poor Daniel would have to run for his life. Press F to pay respects

[@weakbrainthrombosis]

meinking22 I honestly only saw a couple giants games last years, but what i saw from Barkley reminded me of Adrian Peterson in his first years, when the Vikings had a really bad schemes and play calling(brad Childress) They just leaned on a.p., opposing teams would play 8 or 9 guys “in the box” on 1st&2nd and 7 or 8 on 3rd, and he still had success. but his greatness sort of masked a lot of flaws, and probably caused the Vikings to keep some bad players and bad coaches.

Of all the super stupid excuses made for Rodgers the "He doesn't have a lot of comebacks because he's usually winning" is one of the dumbest. Guess who has the most comebacks ever? It's Brady, the guy with the most wins and the highest winning percentage of any QB with at least 25 starts in league history. Who's 2nd? Peyton the guy with the 2nd most wins and the 4th highest winning percentage ever. The guys with the 2nd and 3rd highest winning percentages? Joe Montana who has more than double the comebacks of Rodgers (31 to 15) with only 13 more career starts and a MUCH higher winning percentage. The other is Rodger Staubach with the same number of comebacks but with 43 fewer starts and a winning percentage over 100 points higher. It's not that he doesn't have comebacks because he is always ahead he just isn't good at playing from behind. He wins a lot because he is a great front runner who wins more than 88% of the games he has a lead starting the 4th quarter.

This was a good pick for the Giants. He's the same kind of QB as Eli, only taller and can throw a spiral. They need to replace Eli, and this will be a smooth transition. He can watch Eli from the sideline for a season, then come in, and the Giants don't have to make major changes to the offensive schematics. They need to get him some blocking.

[@victorvillari6136]

Wow, a rational comment here! Amazing. I agree 100%. Let him sit behind Eli for a year and let things go from there. People are forgetting this is a rebuild. Gettleman grabbed 2 good defensive players in this draft from all the picks he acquired last year, and cleared up 100+million in cap space for the Giants to spend on whatever they urgently need. This draft is going to go underappreciated for years. I'm confident it'll turn into a very productive draft.

Kansas City was able to do it cause they had a winning record and where reaching the playoffs with Alex Smith playing great, which is the complete opposite of New York. You can't sit your rookie 1st round pick if your team is losing like the giants.

Well Giants had **12** picks and traded 2 of picks from tomorrow to trade up for yesterday. Smart teams may be active today, and there’s a lot to get on NYG about, but that Baker trade wasn’t it

[@harrisonduncan8367]

Corners are extremely valuable

[@ijamsum]

I have been sayin last years draft grade should have been B- for taking a RB instead of the QB which is the most important player on the team ?

[@joaquin4497]

Man U called it

[@BPrimeTimeL]

So Jay Cutler is 50% better than AARon in clutchness?

[@meanscene914]

Lol FedEx Field is nowhere near the Potomac

[@andretorres1220]

This pick means more years of eli...that's why peyton said they should pick jones...

[@moonbull3137]

I'm tryna see how Quenin Williams does in the NFL

[@justingaumes3515]

You were wrong Colin!!!! Hahahahaha

[@youurr]

not even

[@mayhemlolz]

0:32 lmfao Bill is his own man don’t do that. Look it up 😂

[@GreenDay1981]

I didn't understand this pick. I'm not a Giants fan but why they would pick Jones instead of Haskins boggles my mind. Haskins had about as many TD passes last season alone as Jones had in his 3 years at Duke COMBINED.

[@newyouchallenge7559]

Colin owes Dave Gettleman a sincere public apology. When you use a national media platform to take such a wildly negative, definitive shot at another man's job performance (and therefore his livelihood), and when the QB pick you crushed him for taking has one of the greatest first starts in the history of the NFL, you need to have enough professional integrity to admit you were wrong and give him credit for seeing something in the tapes that you (and almost every other scout on the planet) missed.

[@TheBarbahaba]

He wasnt wrong

[@thunderman131]

The Linc is not by a river, Colin. The Delaware isn’t close enough to the stadium to be a factor

[@lefonzopollock4345]

How does look now?

[@hoffman6628]

This aged well

[@youurr]

it absolutely did

[@kevinbohn9640]

He’s knocking on Rodgers for low 4th quarter come-backs when only 3 veteran QBs have a better W:L ratio (Brady, Roethlisberger and Wilson). It’s hard to have a 4th quarter come back when you’re already winning. 😂

[@alexc4012]

When I first saw the video I agreed with you, but I looked up the stats and they don't tell the same story. His success rate for 4th quarter comebacks is very low among "elite" QBs, with 40+ chances he's only come back 12 times. Ryan Tannehill actually has less comeback opportunities but more comebacks.

[@kevinbohn9640]

I saw that when I was looking up the stats, too (there’s a big table listing come backs and come back opportunities on google, and if anything that ratio is what Cowherd should have used to make this asinine argument)... but Tannehill isn’t even over 0.500 W/L for career. The goal is to win often; not occasionally win but do so in dramatic fashion with a last quarter drive.

[@alexc4012]

Carrick CuckFG yeah I agree with you. Obviously people would take Rodgers over tannehill any day of the week. But I guess if you want to argue that Rodgers isn’t as clutch as some of the other greats, Colin would have a point there

[@RichDoe9]

Damn Joy

[@sparkdebate7378]

I like Colin's take on the Giants' past 2 drafts. They have wasted so many resources and opportunities (trading OBJ for Lawrence/Peppers/Ximines, letting Landon walk, trading Snacks, passing on Darnold, etc.) that it is revolting. That said, clearly, they are trying to restore the old school culture and football and they love Jones for his toughness. It is hard to see how they can win with this defense unless they pick up a lot of help off others' roster cuts. They probably figure 7-9 this year with Eli send-off game 10 or so, then buy tons of help for defense and rock in 2020 with Saquan leading the offense.

[@dragonmaster7841]

Daniel Jones = Mark Sanchez lite

[@josephbrewster1169]

Mid season, the Giants are going to try to trade for one of Philly's 3 QBs. All 3 are 6'5" with strong arms.

[@BNA_Est.1988]

Lol

[@gauntlet4791]

I’m a Vikings fan but don’t you think the focus on defensive players has something to do with the lack of 4th quarter comebacks. Maybe he doesn’t have enough offensive weapons? When was the last time he had a great running back?

[@evanrainforth2185]

Why are there chairs if no one sits in them

[@ronalddesantis3021]

Maybe cuz his teams up more often than not?

[@Meechii23]

Just because you draft defense doesn't make your defense Good Genius
