The new york giants hard knock episode about the barkley negotiations is aging very poorly for the giants. Clearly shows the ineptitude that runs from the mara family right down to their front office.

Its also why Hard Knocks offseason wont be as indepth next time. Teams wont want to look like fools like the Giants.

There would be a call to replace Darnold based on his last two games if there was a viable QB replacement on the bench at the Vikings. That kind of form and the innate tendency to turn the ball over mean that any evaluation by another team to sign Darnold in 2025 is going to be a complicated one. There are some desperate teams out there, and a general lack of good QBs…..

Rodgers to the Vikings mimicking Favre's career path.

You don’t pay rbs period. Plus Barkley only this good cause his playing behind 2nd best oline in football.

Tracy is decent replacement at 1/15 of the price of Barkley, that money is better spent elsewhere. The giants were still going to suck with Barkley bottom 5 team cos qb sucks. Also giants will get end of 3rd round comp pick for loosing him in free agency. Only bad decision giants made was having it appear on hard knocks.

Just because recent modern thinking/trends is to pay QBs and WRs and not pay RBs doesnt mean it should be absolute or copied from team to team.

I wouldve paid Barkley and not paid Daniel Jones...not in hindsight but way back then it was obvious...Barkley the face of the franchise, best offensive player, and Jones a bust.

Browns did the same error paying Watson all that money when likelihood was he would lose his mojo given the embarrassment of his off field actions.

King Henry is worth the money and we have appreciated all the teams that passed on signing him.

The dont pay RBs argument is wearing a bit thin, its not like they are being paid a fortune anyway (everyone lost their mind over the Chuba Hubbard deal but he only got 15m guaranteed). I think it just depends on team makeup.

I think the dont draft a RB in the first round still has merit however. Better off using that resource to get a bargain at another position that you would have to pay far more for (like QB, WR, Edge, DT, OL)

It's a line from people who haven't followed what's happened in the league this year. Some franchises identified a undervaluing in the market for elite running backs and paid in free agencyBarkley, Henry, Jacobs.

All three have had big seasons and are significant reasons for their teams success.

There is likely a difference between their value to good, and bad teams, but the idea that a team that wants to contend should never pay one is falling out of the orthodoxy imo since the CMC trade.

Saquon has won us multiple games this year against what we were getting from the position last year (which involved a thousand yard rusher).

Can't see why that's a bad use of the 12m cap if we want to contend while we have this roster, which surely we do.

Yep, 12m is **** all given the influence he has on games.
