My brother tried to convince me that the Giants need a rebuilding year. I denied that this could happen. Well, maybe it should happen. Tonight’s horrific loss was a clear indicator that the team is a mess. Few people in that locker room are happy. Even fewer offensive players have the right to hold their heads up high. Barkley can. Saquon Barkley was incredible this week in two games that showcased how explosive and impactful the young back can be moving forward. The only problem is that it will be hard to keep that energy and mentality high in the face of a QB that flat out sucks.
There. I said it. Eli is done.
No, I don’t think they should’ve drafted a QB in the first round. Every year there is an outstanding crop of qb’s–at least according to the media–and every year most of them fall short. Barkley is the truth and has proven that. Eli deserved to leave on his own terms and hopefully he will at the end of this season. If not, then that gives the team the year to rebuild and prepare his replacement from the batch of talent graduating into the NFL come April.
QB is not the only position of note to be fixed. The line is a sham. They have not been good for more than a few series all season. Over the last two games the Giants have converted 1 3rd down. One. Let that settle on you.
One.
No wonder the D is tired and gives up points. The offense cannot stay on the field. Eli is broken and beyond fixing. Six games into the season the Giants have no chance of making the playoffs or even finishing above .500. This is a sad sad day for the Giants when you find yourselves looking up at the Browns in the power rankings and the standings.
Next up is the Falcons. They suck too, but I am willing to wager the Giants will drop this one too.
