I’m on the train... This team has had nothing to be cheerful about. Outside of Beckham this team is tough to watch. Watching paint dry was starting to look tempting last year on Sunday’s Me too. Been on the train since before the draft.

I won't lie, I wanted the Giants to go QB with the 2nd pick but have since come around. In fact, F it, I'm the conductor on the hype train. This dude was chosen over multiple consensus 1st round QB's. He better be all that he has been hyped up to be!

I don't care what the blah blah heads say. I watched him run. He is exciting to watch live . I can't take anything Steven A Smith says seriously . He is Skip Bayless without all the caffeine. I get the feeling that most of these sports talking heads just say things that will draw attention to themselves, it doesn't matter whether they really believe it or not..

For some of them that’s all they do. It’s their “thing”.... Skip Clueless is a perfect example.

Why it has become more or less entertainment than substance based.

Gettleman said Barkley was the best prospect he's scouted and he's been a coach/or scout for 45 years. Gettleman thought he was so good he thinks Barkley was "touched by the hand of God". If that isn't reason enough to be hyped up I don't know what is.

how many #2 picks are not "over-hyped".. these talking heads just need to blather about something. Its what they get paid to do. I'm talking about the fans as much as the media. Moreso actually.

And if he isn't an instant success are you and others going to bug out or have patience? Because I "all that he has been hyped to be" is a 1600-2000+ yard back annually, an instant HoFer, and maybe the best HB ever. Call me crazy for not believing it before I see it. This kind of hype absolutely can ruin a player, if they fail to achieve that level of success. Unreasonable expectations hurt the player and team.

Those numbers a little much but I'm hoping for at least 1300 all purpose yards. Something like 950 and 350. A significant drop from that would be disappointing. What, you are hoping for 750 rushing yards from the number 2 pick in the draft? Sorry, he is the number 2 pick and he will have to thrive under pressure, thrive when there are expectations, thrive in the pressure cooker that is the new york media. Nope, he isn't going to sneak up on anyone and he was chosen over Multiple first round QBs. He is a top 2 immediate impact pick.

I think the numbers you posted there are reasonable. I'm hearing people predicting 1800-2000+ all purpose yards this year. Some calling him the best HB in the NFCE, some say the league. 750 rushing yards would be OK imo, if it was because Gallman and/or Stewart (particularly Gallman) was also balling out with 500+ hard nosed rushing yards. So long as he adds a good amount of production in the passing game, and has several game changing big play TDs on route to us being a winning team, yes, I'd be fine with 750 rushing yards for his rookie year.

I just want to have at least the #3 running game in the league, #3 T.O.P., and #15 ranked O.L.. If this happens, then its pretty much a slam dunk that we are in the playoffs and this kid proved his worth. His numbers dont have to be outstanding , just part of a collective effort. The playoffs is what its all about. I could care less about where he was drafted and what he should be doing. If this were the thinking. then Cleveland would have a trophy case full of trophies and Hofers up and down their roster.

I think Barkley will grow into his role with the Giants at the same rate as the Giants O line blends into a cohesive unit, hopefully sooner rather than later....

LMAO, 1800 - 2000 yards? Yeah, no, lol, that's some Homer on steroids saying that crap. Do I think 1500 could be possible if Everything comes together under the most ideal situation, maybe. That 1500 would be a long shot I wouldnt bet on though...
