The New York Giants are one of the most storied franchises in the National Football League’s history and one of the most talked-about franchises.
But they’ve also been a franchise that has fallen on hard times as far as the on-field product is concerned, conjuring up memories of the “Wilderness Years,” the 15-year span from 1964-1978 in which the franchise devolved into a laughing stock.
As far as FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd is concerned, the Giants are still a laughing stock given their failed attempts at fixing the on-field product that hasn’t been good since the early 2010s.
In a recent broadcast on his Show, The Herd, Cowherd took aim at the Giants.
If you had an optimism meter in the NFL, the bottom of it has to be Carolina and the Giants if they lose Saquon Barkley,” he said before narrowing his aim over the team’s loyalty to quarterback Daniel Jones over running back Saquon Barkley.
“Daniel Jones in games that Saquon doesn’t play is 8-14,” he said.
“When I look at the Giants, when I was back there years ago, I felt like it was this great successful accounting firm.
They feel like Blockbuster Video.
They have not pivoted. Not very good upstairs.
In 12 seasons since winning the Super Bowl, they have had one double-digit winning season.
And that is in the weaker NFC.
