We talk to everyone in the know to learn how the Dave Gettleman Era went off the rails. In Part I, we examine why faith in Eli Manning backfired. This isn't a normal front office, either.
It mystifies me how franchises in New York and Chicago are bad for so long. It is a credit to the NFL that market size has almost no bearing on anything. I think it’s why the NFL towers over all other sports in the US. It comes down to talent at precious few roles (GM, coach, QB). If you get those right, you can overcome nearly anything. Get those wrong and sustained excellence is nigh impossible.
It's very interesting to read a detailed article about a team I don't follow. One thing for sure: as a Packers fan, I am so spoiled. It makes me a bit embarrassed to think that I whine about using draft picks on selections like J.K. Scott that don't pan out.
That was a long in-depth article. I couldn’t read the whole thing because I don’t care about the Giants- at least this year - but how long did it take you to research and write this? Kudos!
give Pat Traina an assist for getting me to sign up, I’m glad I did… This was outstanding. my one wish would’ve been that you touched on More of what happened before Gettleman because that is a big chunk of the waste of time as well. If Mara had manned up and canned Reese Same time as cough when they might’ve been a better spot 6 years ago. Mara even said Reese knew it was on him. Actually the whole thing was the kind of idiotic press conference he would expect from Mara

This reporting confirms what we all know. The dysfunction starts with John Mara. Things won't change until the pain becomes too great.
Another fascinating look behind the curtain Tyler. Love this stuff. Couldn’t put it down!
