Congrats to Tom's Steelers.
Looks like the Giants are finally going to part with Tom Coughlin and (dare I hope) Jerry Reese, the worst GM the Giants have had since before the great George Young took over in 1979. Ernie Accorsi built the two Super Bowl champion teams with Eli at the helm, which were won with his draft picks (Eli Manning, Michael Strahan, Justin Tuck, Osi Umenura, Amani Toomer, Earth, Wind and Fire, and that terrific offensive line). Since Jerry Reese took over, with the exception of a no brainer like Odell Beckham, Jr., his First round draft picks include David Wilson (a fumble-happy running back who was in the league for 2 seasons and never rushed for more than 400 yards in a season - drafted the same year the Redskins drafted Alfred Morris in the 6th round), Hakeem Nicks (who the Giants cut and re-signed this season out of desperation) Jason Pierre Paul, who had a great rookie season, then two mediocre seasons before blowing half his hand off, Prince Amukamura, who on the rare occasions he is healthy has been one of the worst cover corner backs in the league, and Justin Pugh and this year's pick, Flowers, two offensive tackles, neither of whom have been able to stay healthy or otherwise amount to anything. Only about 15% of his picks since he started in 2007 are Giants starters.
I would rather keep Coughlin than Reese, as, frankly, with Reese's pathetic record on draft picks, compounded by the injuries (the Giants lead the league with 23 players on IR), he hasn't really had fair chance these last couple of seasons.
Here's hoping for a fresh start next year. I hope the Giants grab Sean Peyton, their former offensive coordinator.
