The time has come, actually should have happened a year or two or three ago ...
I understand, and commiserate with the fans who want to hold and believe the year can be salvaged ... But why? Suppose the Giants get to the playoffs, then what? They are not good enough to beat a really good team, so they get there, lose, and the team is picking in the twenties of the draft ... then what? Looking at 3 - 13 again .... And to be honest the Jets have a better future than the Giants at this point all because they got the QB the Giants should have drafted ... So? How does this mess get fixed??? Here are my thoughts, none of which will happen ...
1- fire Gettleman and Shurmur, they were "safe" choices, not daring or imaginative, Gettleman paid TOO much for Solder, Stewart, and Ogeltree, his decision(?) to draft Barkley was shortsighted ... Shurmur may be a nice guy, a QB guru, & a fine offensive mind ... he isn't a head coach! I don't blame him for the boring offense because the OL is so bad but does anyone listen to him and get excited or stirred up?
2- John Mara HAS got to stay out of the running of the team, I believe he has contributed to this demise because he tinkered so much with Coughlin and his staff, I believe he pushed the Barkley draft pick, and his Eli infatuation is killing the team
3- Trade - Trade - Trade!!!! at the deadline this team should get rid of as many players as possible and load up on draft picks as possible ... Solder, Jenkins,Vernon, even Eli should be up for sale ... I wouldn't have signed OBJ to that contract because now it is impossible to trade him and what is he going to be like if the OL and the QB are a mes???I
4- get back to what is the core of the Giants franchise - DEFENSE ... rebuild and retool the D to be one that dictates game plans ...
I know this sounds drastic and probably condemns the Giants to bottom of the league standings and back page ridicule but if the Mara/Tisch team make the right moves in 2 or 3 years the Giants could be legitimate playoff contenders and shortly thereafter possible Super Bowl contenders ... as constructed now this is a boring, losing team
