I can't stand the self indulgent, "notice me" celebrations.
But it's a brave new, selfish world.
Lol, you are just old. The NFL is marketing towards the target market, which is 18-21 year olds. They already have your money and mines. They're just trying to get that future money. The inability to market its superstars is why baseball fell behind both basketball and football. Baseball was king when I was a child and is still my favorite sport. I hope that it becomes king again before I die. no...it's at least true in part the look at me now and look at me now and look at me now generation infiltrates every aspect of life
it'll wane as all passing things do

"Saquon Barkley added to an impressive rookie campaign with the New York Giants with his stellar play in Weeks 9-12, as he ranked third among qualifying backs in yards after contact per attempt (4.2) and seventh in passer rating when targeted (128.1) while logging zero drops. Barkley did a lot with a little in the month of November, as he averaged an NFL-high 3.9 yards per carry and 5.2 yards after contact per carry on the 28 runs where he was contacted at or behind the line of scrimmage in the last four weeks."

Zero drops. Zero fumbles. 74 receptions. Incredible.

To give you an idea of the sorry state of the NY Giants run game these past few yrs, Barkley's three 50+ yd runs this yr are more than all Giants RBs had combined in the past decade! Anyone still wanna say they wish we had drafted a QB instead of SB?
2017 Giants stats for all RBs in 16 games: 1549yds 6 rush TDs 3.9ypc 96.8ypg 105 rec 608 yds 1 TD
2018 Saquan Barkley stats in thru 12 games: 954yds 8 rush TDs 4.9ypc 79.5ypg 74 rec 602 yds 4 TDs

He is a very special talent and more importantly a very special young man. I would love to meet him one day. If you do you won’t be disappointed.

The kid is just special.

What a player. Crazy that he could break the giants rookie record for receptions! Best overall player in the draft. Prove me wrong who wanted a qb.

Prove me wrong who wanted a qb. its all fine for records, but if kyle isnt that good (which doesnt look good as of now) we will have no qb for the next few years capable of a playoff run.

Anyone that was mocking Gettleman's comments about this kid looks like a schmuck.

The records will come just because he is that good. But he has changed this team. You can see the difference.

(saying we needed a qb is not a knock on barkley)

It's actually not a weak argument and a huge area of concern. eli isn't going to be around fully for these "next couple of years" thats just how it goes, so yeah it's an issue. They need to figure out life after Eli quickly for an easier transition going into 2020 in all likelyhood Eli plays his last year in 2019. For the record though - I'm glad they chose Barkley in the first round. Kid is remarkable.

We don't need Eli to throw for 40TDs to win.

We don't need Eli to throw for 40TDs to win. I'm not trying to imply that I get your point and agree. Judging how he and the team has looked with the improvement of the oline Eli is still the guy. I'm just saying contract runs out. He's 39 or 40 and 2020. Times running out is all. There isn't 3-4 years to figure the position out. Unfortunately, without the right moves or just incredible luck. We'll be in a bad spot QB wise in the near future and we all know how long that can be.

this was the first game without Odell, since his draft, that the team played effective on offense. He is a game changer.
