The Giants New Alternate Jerseys Are So Putrid, Ugly And Hideous That They Are Actually Perfect And Will Trick Our Dumb Brains If We Suck | Barstool Sports

Every single person out there is talking about how they are hideous. They might be. I think we’re wearing khakis? But the fact that everyone is starting to hate them is only going to make me love them. They are so bad that they might be perfect. Plus it will trick our dumb brains watching them, especially if we suck again. Not to mention, are they really worse than the previous red alternate jerseys we had?

2024 NFL Schedule: NFC Team Record Predictions

New York Giants: 4–13. The Giants are banking on a bounce-back year from Daniel Jones, who had his 2023 season cut short due to a torn ACL. They will have to host the Saints, Buccaneers, Ravens, Bengals and Colts for difficult home games. But New York could hang with the best teams because of their ferocious defensive front led by edge rusher Brian Burns, who joined the Giants in March after being traded by the Panthers. If Jones quickly establishes a connection with rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, the Giants could prove the naysayers wrong.

The Giants haven’t had an elite No. 1 wide receiver since Odell Beckham in 2018. They struck out with big-money free agent acquisitions Golden Tate (2019-20) and Kenny Golladay (2021-22). Then they went through 2023 without a No. 1 receiver.

Ranking Every NFL Offense After the 2024 Draft | Bleacher Report

30. New York Giants. Most of the improvement needs to come from young players growing into their roles. Evan Neal is going to get another chance at right tackle. Jalin Hyatt is going to have every opportunity to carve out a large role in the passing game. The same can be said for Wan'Dale Robinson. Brian Daboll did turn the offense around in 2022 with Jones at the helm. If he stays healthy, Nabers is electric from Day 1 and others step up, this offense could surprise.
