Won't be surprised if Giants have more wins than Ravens next year.

Giants are a lot closer to being really good than most think. 2nd year Dart, healthy Nabers, healthy Cam, dominant D line. And they have a top 5 pick.

They blew some 4th quarter leads. Clean that up and they're closer to the playoffs than one might think

They draft Mario and are doomed to a winning percentage less than .200 for eternity

Not sure if it’s already been mentioned, but Davis Webb has played under Brian Daboll for 4 seasons and with two different teams (Buff/NYG). Daboll recommended him to Payton when Webb decided to turn to coaching.

Who knows if Daboll would swallow some pride and work under one of his former players, but I found that link interesting. Add in members in our front office coming from Denver, Daboll and Brady’s relationship, and the storyline of Brady and Sean Payton linking up in Miami a few years ago and the Webb hire may have some legs.

I have an aversion to Davis Webb. I don't think our timeline aligns with his. Position coach to HC is a big jump. I get that there are historical outliers but we're in no position to play those odds. It reeks of an overcorrection by a desperate organization. Going from AP to Carroll back to another position coach. I'd rather take a shot on any of the OC's with a resume like Kubiak or LaFleur (LA). They have more experience and have better odds at assembling a complete staff.

Don’t know anything about him, but yeah that’s a huge jump. But between AP and PC, not sure we could do much worse. Definitely outside of the box thinking though. Maybe that’s needed.

There have been a number of lows, but that was probably the one that bothered me most. At least you could try to spin the others, but this one is just unforgivable.

Reading up on his time in the is encouraging. A real student of the game who knows his shit. He also interviews really well from what I hear. Everyone I have read on him speaks really well about his knowledge and his enthusiasm

If he can convince the powers to be that he can bring in a competent staff I'm onboard...there really is no one else out there that moves me...everything we have done in the past has failed miserably why not try something new!

I want to trust the process but everything I read on the guy and the fact that he has interviewed with some pretty damn good teams is encouraging for sure

Webb would definitely be a guy you’d want to bring in a Raheem morris, Jonathon Gannon or Jim Schwartz

If we want Webb we should be cheering for the Broncos to lose asap so he has a shot at some of the top guys. They could all be gone before he’s able to even interview them.

Is Schwartz going to get a HC job again at some point?

I think it's safe to say we are all pulling for the Donkeys to lose lol
