Dak thread got me thinking about the GIants impending QB decision and secondarily, the RB decision. It's eerily similar to the Cowboys a few years ago. We all know that Dak and Zeke got paid and it is now costing the Cowboys dearly since they no longer can afford the roster they had when those two were thriving. Are the Giants going to make the same mistake?
-Do you overpay a mediocre QB and hope he gets better and your team keeps ascending on this same trajectory?
-Do you pay your stud RB top money, having no idea how long his prime will last?
-Or do you let them walk believing you can get similar production (or even better QB play) for much less money, allowing you to hopefully stock up an already pretty good roster?
These are the decisions that make or break franchises for 5-10 years at time. If it's me, I'm taking the 3rd option. I'm not paying a QB franchise money after throwing 15 TD's in 18 games. There are several free agents, especially this year that could replace or exceed what DJ did for the Giants. Also, I'm firmly a believer in not paying RB's top dollar. There are too many good productive RB's out there you can get without overpaying for them. Other roster spots are always a much higher priority IMO. Gonna be very interesting to see what they do.
