If he was still on the Giants, "Is Saquon wasting his career in NY?"

[stickshiftt]

Saquon on the Giants is like 22" chrome wheels on a broken down car.

[Phloptical]

The giants had 6 years to build a decent o-line to help both Barkley and Daniel Jones, they didn’t. They deserve their impending demise.

[luisvalentin]

Honestly, being real, Mad Dog is right. You'd be wasting Saquon's career by keeping him with the Giants, its not like they could draft a QB and win a superbowl while not wasting anymore of Saquon's prime

[keefriff]

Mad Dog is right…the Giants couldn’t provide the protection for Saquon to thrive.

[MomentumMarketingTips]

Yall are WRONG. Saquon couldnt fix that Dumpster Fire

[habavdekar]

Mad Dog has a point. Saquon went into a way better situation than the Giants.

[davidwhite]

Eagles fan here. The only issue I had with not resigning Barkley was why not trade him mid-season or sign and trade? They just let him go for nothing. But hey I ain't complaining

[ericanders]

Why do people act like Saquon would’ve done this on the Giants? We absolutely suck. Is there not a previous 6 years of evidence?

[jayruusamaa]

letting go of Saquon Barkley was the right choice for the giants. A bad team really shouldn't pay a RB like him, this issue lies in the fact that the giants paid Daniel Jones, if they would've just let both go in free agency I believe the giants would be in a better situation. Also if saquon was still on the giants they would probably be like 4-7 maybe.

[lees]

Man y’all know the giants didn’t have a good offensive line, stop the bulljive.

[orlys]

The notion that the RB position is dead is stupid AF. Jacob’s, Henry and Barkley have proven that . They improved their teams drastically

[breonmitchell]

Daniel jones Giants paid $160m
Sequan was 40% offense didn't want pay him $10m yr😂😂😂

[bowlingclarity]

Saquan wasn't going to have anywhere near this type of season in New York guys .

[jamesmangham-nc]

I’m from da hood. And I don’t know a lot about football but you don’t sell you best weapon to your enemies 😂

[ifanhung]

Although I usually disagree with Russo, he's on point here. The Giants can't block for s**t

[ADM-nxgn]

Mad dog is right not to mention Barkley missed like a third of his games in those 6 years

[mikeynyg]

Jesus Christ it’s been 8 months now just let it go already. Giants did him a favor. Enjoy what you’re seeing. Idk why ESPN have so many idiots working there

[xander]

Chris Russo is the biggest anti-NY when it comes to sports teams. Even when the NYG had successful seasons under Coughlin, he would always criticize. He does not belong up there. His evaluations are nothing but bias against NY. No one should take him seriously!

[johnniegamblejr.]

5:40 But the problem is the way they acted as if Daniel Jones was the best player on their team. That's why they paid him and let saquon walk...
