Wallyhorse Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Remember when Giants fans and the New York media lambasted Giants GM Dave Gettleman for taking Daniel Jones with the sixth pick in the 2019 NFL draft ahead of Dwayne Haskins? Looks like Gettleman got the last laugh has Haskins was released by the Football Team on Monday! If you're Howie, given he would only have to be paid the league minimum next season, would you take a chance on bringing in Haskins to back up Hurts and/or Wentz?

Road to Victory Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I’m not sure people were lambasting Gettleman for taking Jones over Haskins- I think it was the fact they took Jones at #6. No one really viewed him as a top 10 pick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaBeach_Eagle Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Why release him just after week 16? Are they signing someone to fill his spot and they want that roster spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one really viewed him as a top 10 pick. I listen to 98.7 ESPN and WFAN out of New York and they were lambasting Gettleman at the time, calling him clueless for taking Jones so high. There were rumors Washington would have taken Jones if he was available and that's why Gettleman took him at #6. 1 minute ago, VaBeach_Eagle said: Why release him just after week 16?

toolg Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Haskins is still too raw, not NFL ready. He needs to be on a team willing to coach him up. The new regime in Washington doesn't want to bother. And Daniel Jones still sucks. Not worth a Top 10 pick in the draft. The Giants should've traded down... Washington was likely to pick Haskins at #15 anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether Wentz goes or not, Haskins would be coming in as a backup to Hurts (and/or Wentz), and he would have the time to work on things and develop more slowly.

paco Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Waiting for our cap genius GM to sign him to a 4 year deal with 20 mil in dead money in year 5. You know, to stay under the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team can't coach the qb's they have now and you want them to bring in another one, especially this stiff? 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyPhreak24 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Apparently he was already in Rivera's doghouse for something other than bad play. He was recently cought in a strip club and he wasn't wearing a mask. It was the second time he broke the team's COVID rules. His poor performance against the Panthers was the final nail in the coffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawkins4prez Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Cutting him with a week to go is pretty big statement from rivera. That's the kinda thing that lands you in the CFL. But let's be very clear, I doubt Gettlemen is laughing too much while he boxes his personal items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point,. however, the point here actually was Giants fans wanted Gettleman to take Haskins with the sixth pick because he was rated higher than Jones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
