[@Kevxtreme21]

Finally someone with an intresting take on the Giants situation

[@blazinpyromaniac]

I like what the Giants are doing. Although they likely do not have a QB now, they have a lot of talented young players and it seems the team is being built for the future. Which ever QB comes in next season will have a solid young team to develop with.

[@markymark616]

they are in a weird spot but nabers is special. if they can get him the ball that offense will be miles better

[@Baelitfamsquad]

Daniel is not as bad as people want to make him out . His 3rd year in the system and at full health coming into this season with healthy weapons . I think you’re going to see the kid ball out

[@Jtevkicksandcards]

Exactly

[@christopher9087]

[@ZackAttack5858]

Wow. Nick saying something positive about the Giants???

[@jackbryan4676]

Just so he didn't have to say anything positive about the Raiders, who by his logic, won the draft even more than the Giants.

[@tonelamont1498]

6 teams really beat the Giants in 2023 Cowboys 49ers & Raiders (top 10 Defenses) Seahawks Dolphins Saints Everyone else was a 1 score win against a 2nd and 3rd string QB, abysmal Oline, no WR1, and back up TE's. A healthy Giants team might bring some good competition on Sundays

[@sabirabdul-lateef5352]

Good point!

[@markymark616]

good point, jets game, bills game and rams game all came down to the very last play.

[@beyallluv]

Excellent point.

[@someguy9301]

The Jets had no business winning against the giants.

[@KenjiMapes]

Love the Malik Nabers pick for my Giants. We have a loaded receiving corps now with Nabers, Slayton, Wan’Dale & Hyatt as the central core. Daniel Jones has the physical talents that you covet for a QB & off the charts intangibles. He’s flashed brilliance especially in his rookie season & 2022. This is essentially year 2 under Daboll for him as he was hurt for most of 2023. The years under Judge were a wash for Jones & basically a digression for him. He just needs to stay healthy. Giants have an improved Oline & pass rush, a better secondary & a deep & balanced group of offensive weapons. Jones knows his grip on the starting job is tenuous. He has to have a breakout year or he’s through until Big Blue can draft Arch Manning😆😉 I actually liked Bo Nix a lot. What you like to see is progress & improvement from your QB which is what Nix’s college playing trajectory was about. We know that not all of the Tier 1 QBs in this year’s draft composed of Williams, Daniels & Maye will succeed. Same goes for the “Tier 2” QBs consisting of Penix, Nix & the Boy Wonder JJ McCarthy. Perhaps, in fact, one or two of the Tier 2 guys has a better career than the Tier 1 guys. Bo Nix couldn’t have gone to a better situarion & the Broncos didn’t have to trade the farm to move up & grab him. Broncos Head Coach Sean Payton is an offensive guy & an alleged QB guru. Nix shares a lot traits with Payton’s former future Hall of Fame WB Drew Brees - Nix & Brees are timing & accuracy QBs. They’re finesse not power types. If the Broncos can ease Nix into the role without putting too much on him, he could turn into a very good QB. Same for McCarthy. I don’t fault the Falcons for picking Penix at 8 despite giving Kirk a big 4 year contract. If you like a QB, you take him. It’s another ideal situation for this QB. Nix will have to start sooner but both McCarthy & Penix can sit & learn under their current veteran QBs & receive solid mentoring. Penix has a great arm but if he can learn under the talented Cousins for a year or two, it will pay big dividends for years in the near future. The Falcons have been drafting big offensive weapons with the first round picks the past 3 years but have had a QB carousel & little stability at the position. Now they have a veteran Top 10 QB in Kirk Cousins to start & they have a top young QB as his understudy & backup. They could now be set at QB for years so all the criticism is just excessive. If Penix succeeds in a couple of years, no one will really remember or care about the criticisms.

[@Jtevkicksandcards]

Dj does not have intangibles at all thats literally his problem

[@jackcurvin9769]

Giving Daniel Jones another receiver is is helpful But a fee doesn't have an offensive line to keep from being shell shocked It's not going to matter You need time to throw

[@ericheisler5351]

The best part of the Giants draft was not trading a QB they don’t love for a QB they don’t love.

[@jacklatta1890]

That, took me a second to unwind. And you are absolutely correct in your assessment as well as the logic. Well said

[@ericheisler5351]

@@jacklatta1890 Teams have forgotten rule #1… if you don’t love him don’t take him. There are other fish in the sea. I would have liked to see them trade back to package into some blue chip picks next year, but whatever.

They win so long as the players drafted play at their projected draft positions. Someone will play better and someone won’t live up to expectations, and we won’t know that for awhile. Love the show, thanks Colin, always enjoy your opinions. Best in the business 👍

[@vcj2729]

Daniel Jones will be the comeback player of the year.

[@Jtevkicksandcards]

I really hope your right

[@richcropsey572]

They "fixed" the line but we lost saquan which hurts alot because he's the best in the league and we never had an oline for him but I hope your right he has a ton of weapons now.

[@steveboyd3455]

On Atlanta -- Cousins is a good QB, and so, if the team does well this coming season, they will pick like #28 or something next time they can make a first round pick. That means a challenge to trade up etc. So this draft was their chance to get a future QB knowing Cousins won't be the long term answer.

[@joshuap935]

Correct, but drafting a 24 yr old to sit for yrs isn’t the best move.

[@curtisroberts5271]

@@joshuap935 Ideally you are correct. and I agree but you never know with injuries and with Kirks age. We think he has good football left in him, but we wont know until he plays.

[@vitorpeck4458]

28?? Atlanta is not moving past the Wildcard round if they make the playoffs at all.

[@Renix360]

Give me one take either of these guys have ever had that played out like they said it would. I’ll wait.

[@EmmanuelConstant747]

If New England took the Giants deal on draft day - They could've drafted JJ McCarthy at #6 overall and have a ton of draft capital to build around him - Which would have been worth more than a high QB pick in Drake Maye and no draft capital to build around him. Talk about missed opportunities and a chance for immediate success.

[@daniellaforme9868]

How a you say the Giants are the draft winners, when they haven’t played one game of the 2024 seasons?!

[@33moneyball]

Being “fine” is lovely…they’d be much better without wasting a massive portion of their cap. There’s a reason why countless QBs have won or nearly won on rookie deals. Lighting that on fire intentionally a la Atlanta or unintentionally like Denver isn’t okay cause you’re not a disaster.

[@vinylrichie007]

How does Nick Wright have a job. His takes are right 50/50.

[@CJK-bt4ll]

@@Jetski4 The issue for me is that next year will be another wasted year or might even turn into something like Daboll's first year. Make the playoffs or contend.

Kirk Cousins is 16 wins and 47 losses against teams above .500 12 years to win 16 games vs teams with a pulse. Like that is who you bet your career on. A 3 year window of that... vs a 10 year window of a QB you Believe can be great. The delusional perspective on Kirk Cousins is insane. As if this is even a choice.

[@rjjalaparthi545]

Nick is acting like Kirk is world beater. Look at Jets last year. Their season is gone after Rodgers was injured. New HC got second opportunity if he is confident about defense and they did this.

[@33moneyball]

You can roll over cap in the nfl….the contract continues to hurt you even after it’s no longer on the books…this isn’t the nba. You can save cap space. It’s effectively a drag in perpetuity but practically kills them for at least 4 years….meaning no value ever.

[@fpsoftdev]

You're not going to be great with Kirk Cousins. That's what everyone is missing. No one signs Kirk Cousins to win a Super Bowl. They sign Kirk to have a good enough team to put butts in seats and make people happy enough. Kirk was known as a prime time choker for a long time. What has he ever done in the playoffs or in big games? You can't say "oh we're signing Kirk Cousins to make a Super bowl run" when Kirk himself has never made a Super bowl run or even shown he's capable. I think he's a really good regular season quarterback. He's Tony Romo. He's the king of good not great.

The biggest mistake Atlanta made was signing Cousins and the crazy money they gave him. At best with a great all-around team he will only win you one playoff game. If Cousins was the quarterback for Kansas City last year do you think they would have made it to the AFC Championship game? I think not. Do you think San Francisco would have made it to the championship game with Kurt , I think not. He is another Dak , he will never get you deep into the playoffs.
