  1. If I was Sanders I would be thinking to myself โ€œWhy would yโ€™all put me with 2 of the most corniest QBโ€™s in the league ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ) lol. He ainโ€™t going to the Giants.

  2. I hear you, Steven A., regarding the last 2 months and a playoff loss for Russell Wilson, but that is the AFC North. He has a shot in the NFC East, especially against the Cowboys. He toughest opponents will be the Eagles, of course, and the Commanders. Let's go Giants!!!

  3. Makes 10000% sense. Why sign Wilson to draft Sanders & have yet ANOTHER situation like Russell had with Justin Fieldsโ€ฆ They most likely get Hunter.

  4. Russell Wilson while he was in Denver had tides to Shedeur Sanders. Iโ€™m sure they worked out together already during Wilson time as a Bronco. Watch and see the QB chemistry will be ๐Ÿ”ฅ

  5. Honestly Iโ€™m neutral about signing Wilson. The deal was only worth $21 which is cheap for a good veteran qb such as himself. I understand the backlash he received for the final 5 games of the season but thatโ€™s just what the Steelers have been doing since 2020 they collapse at the end of the season and play mediocre in the playoffs. Also for Giants fan Wilson can throw the deep ball consistently and his check down completion rate to Tracy will be good. All offensive weapons should improve production substantially. Plus Wilson has been battle tested all last year in a difficult division and while maintaining a very high qbr and comp%. Great move for a year or two before identifying other qb prospects for this year or next

  6. As a Falcons fan, I find this line of discussion quite hypocritical. Steven a roasted Atlanta for giving Kirk cousins a big contract, drafting Michael penix, and then benching cousins in the middle of the season, but now that's exactly what he's saying that New York could possibly do with Sanders. And while Kirk cousins contract is definitely bigger than what Russell Wilson or jameis Winston are getting, it's pennies compared to what other quarterbacks in the league are making, like the 40 million that Daniel Jones is making as they mentioned earlier in the video.

  7. The Giants are drafting Shedeur Sanders.

    My predictive text is able to type that now.

    This will pretty much be 2004 all over again. A Super Bowl winning quarterback starting the year. If it goes south they have a rookie that will be carrying the franchise.

    At the very least Russ wins games and Dabol and Schoen keeps their jobs. Hes gone next year Sanders plays next year.

    But like I saidโ€ฆ Giants are drafting Shedeur.

  8. People act like Eli just left the Giants. Take a look at the QBs they've had the last several years, it's BAD, like woefully bad. No Giant fan should be thinking playoffs, but is it really crazy to be excited about genuinely having a chance to have an offense that isn't a complete joke for once? We even have a decent chance to have Travis Hunter on the team to help the offense even more. I'm excited that there's at least some hope this year, when you haven't had that for a long time you're happy for even modest improvements.

  9. Not a fan of Mad Dog but he was right. He said the Giants donโ€™t love Sheduer and that they will probably shop around for a quarterback prior to the draft. Based on what the Giants have done with intentions to compete, it would only make sense to draft Travis Hunter at this point. Russ will give you 2-3yrs at best. The Giants are putting their money on Arch Manning
