Connor signs with Giants

[Nation]

So says Pro Football Talk

 

[Titleist]

Meh, he's the epitome of a JAG.

 

[Questfor6]

Witten should have a field day down the middle, Hanna too because there's no way he keeps up with him.

 

[LatinMind]

Connor is decent. Just Carter came into his own. IMO Connor wasnt a good fit for the 3-4

 

[Bluestang]

At least Broaddus admitted that he misevaluated Connor.

Proof that even the experts get it wrong from time to time.

 

[9darter]

Good news they are signing mediocre (at best) players.

 

[Nation]

He will be half decent as a 4-3 MLB

He wasn't as bad as his reputation here would suggest. Solid player when he could get there in time. I probably a really good guy in the locker room. Just not quite gifted enough physically to stick with the same team long-term.

Anybody know why the Giants let Blackburn walk? Just couldn't make the money work?

Still waiting.

Well, that was sort of the problem, wasn't it?

he might play better for the giants, just because he was a COwboy didnt mean he was happy. Who knows. I wish him luck and didnt think he sucked as bad as people thought because if he plays better, well than you know. Frankily i was okay with his signing and if another team picked him up, they know why they did,

What?

 

[Eskimo]

He doesn't really have a role in a Tampa 2 because he doesn't have the coverage ability to play the Mike and is a total misfit as an OLB in any scheme.

He is an okay run stuffing LB but those guys are quickly becoming dinosaurs as all the receiving RBs and TEs make mincemeat of them in the passing game nowadays on a routine basis anytime they can get the matchup. With all the spread offenses out there now they can routinely scheme to get such a matchup and carve up a defense.

He seems like a good guy and played hard when in the lineup so I have no beefs with the player. He just doesn't fit what we do anymore.

 

[ShiningStar]

What?

im just saying i dont think he was as bad as our fans thought he was, and who knows why some players play well for other teams. ive seen guys leave this team and fans say "he sucks" and turns around and plays better for another team. It happens.

Who knows why he didnt play his best here, but it wasnt his best and maybe the Giants will get more out of him.

Let's hope either McSurdy or Lemon have enough speed (or someone in the draft) and can fill that backup MLB role.

Well our front office doesn't think so.
