If they're trying to get their QB of the future in this draft, why trade away your best target in a year that you have an abundance of draft picks? It just doesn't make sense from the Giants' point of view unless they really don't like each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how true this is, id have to watch some of his games. But he’s a clear step up from Malcom smith. i don’t love the signing but I didn’t expect people to be so violently opposed to upgrading a gaping hole. Even if it’s an overpay. But thats FA, can’t have it both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's why Miller's tweet was so stupid. Like even if a trade is happening, makes no sense to happen right now. Giants will let this play out longer and see what they want to do at QB first and foremost before thinking of moving OBJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757-NINER Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 @John232...he's not good in coverage. You're the second person who I've seen mention that and it's just not true... Quote Alexander’s overall grade of 59.1 ranked 66th among linebackers last season. Although he had below average grades in run defense (53.3) and coverage (57.1), he did excel as a pass-rusher. On only 32 pass-rush snaps in six games, Alexander recorded six pressures. His ability as a pass-rusher will be valuable to any takers this offseason. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-kwon-alexander-wasnt-as-good-as-you-think-tampa-bay-buccaneers The last article is from 2016 so this has been a running theme during his short career...

Forge Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 10 minutes ago, John232 said: its not a great contract but Jesus Christ this isn’t worth acting like the sky is falling, And it wasn't worth it to act like that when we signed McKinnon to a ridiculous contract. Or Juice. Or Jonathan Cooper. Or Malcolm Smith. Or Richburg. Should I go on? These are symptoms of a bigger problem as a whole. You can look at any one individual contract and say oh, it's not all that bad...but when you look at the whole, the fact of the matter is, we are giving much worse contracts than good ones.

But thats FA, can’t have it both ways. Not to mention he is a young player who in his last full season went to a pro-bowl. He's adept at creating turnovers as well which is something this defense needs in a big way. Yeah, I don't get the aggressive hate for this move. I like it better than I liked the McKinnon signing last year and definitely better than the Malcomb Smith signing a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong, feel free to post. But Bucs fans are saying his strength is in run defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
