I have been a loyal Giants fan for as long as I’ve loved football. I remember the classic Bills v. Giants battles. I remember all the ups and downs. I remember Simms, Hostetler, all of them. I remember watching LT play. There is so much history there. I spent so much of my energy loving this team–this franchise–and aligning with them. I’ve been big blue forever.
I’m not sure that is going to stick.
Yes, I can vacillate between Giants and Jets freely. Even then the love lives on the blue side. Yes I enjoy the Seahawks. Yes I cheered for Saquon (not his fault they were stupid and he deserves his flowers!). None of this feels like I’ve quit the org. Yet here and now, I’m saying that tomorrow is the line in the sand for me. They’ve been really bead for a long time. We can accept the playoff blip as a surprise moment, but it didn’t help the team grow. It set them back hard. Now we’re in a position to change for the better. Don’t screw this up.
Yes, Abdul Carter is by definition screwing this up if you also keep Kayvon. I am not one to believe in the hype usually about players, and I don’t honestly believe there are a ton of generational talents in this draft. I think people really sleep on how good Shedur is going to be (not quite generational good though). I think Travis is HIM. I think Carter may not be the guy everyone says he is. I want 12 at 3. Period. If he isn’t there you take 11 and you try to get back into the first to scoop Milroe to train him up. He may be a lot better than people think, and that extra option year is needed.
This is what I believe. This is not what I think the G-Men are doing. I think they go with old ass Shough and hope for the best. What will I do? Well, I’ll watch some but I’m sticking with ‘quon for the fun of the game and seeing how Jets football shakes out. The Giants are about to become unwatchable.
