The Misguided Backlash Against the Giants’ Decision to Let Saquon Walk
As a die-hard Giants hater, it’s painful to admit that the team made a smart move by letting Saquon Barkley go. However, the constant misinformation and misguided outrage need to be addressed.
The Giants Were Not Stupid to Let Saquon Walk
Every time Saquon makes a big play, social media is flooded with claims that the Giants were foolish to let him walk. But the truth is, the team’s decision was not driven by stupidity, but rather by a realistic assessment of their chances of success with Saquon on the roster.
Why Letting Saquon Walk Was the Right Call
The Giants were not competitive with Saquon, and making him the third-highest paid running back in the league would not have changed that. The team’s problems ran deeper, with a subpar offensive line, a struggling defense, and a weak receiving corps. Saquon was a luxury item, not a foundation piece.
Saquon’s Success is Not a Surprise
It’s no shock that Saquon is thriving with the Eagles. He went from a dysfunctional team with a poor offense to a top-tier unit with a strong quarterback and talented receivers. Any running back would excel in such an environment.
The False Narrative Surrounding Daniel Jones
The notion that the Giants chose to pay Daniel Jones over Saquon is simply untrue. The team’s free agency spending proves that it was not an either-or situation. Even if they had let Jones walk, their options would have been limited, and they would have likely ended up with a similar outcome.
The Real Issues with the Giants
While the decision to let Saquon walk was correct, there are plenty of other reasons to criticize the Giants. Their drafting has been subpar, and they’ve made questionable investments in players like Xavier McKinney, Jon Runyan, and Kenny Golladay. These mistakes are worth ridiculing, not the Saquon decision.
It’s Time to Move On
So, instead of rehashing the Saquon debate, let’s focus on the Giants’ real shortcomings. With a critical eye, we can examine their past decisions and hope for a brighter future. Now, grab your Sierra Nevadas and get ready for the game!
