I know I've jumped on the Giants offensive woes too, but in all honesty, with Eli and ODB, I can see that offense having a rebound year, with or without Barkley. They've done it before.

But just like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get.

There is one way I could get behind Barkley not being in during blowout/garbage time situations, winning or losing. And that would be the Gmen not wanting unnecessary exposure to injuries to the future if the franchise. A very real possibility that numerous teams have done.

But even that, definitely nit picking. Might happen 2-3 time all year, if that

Exactly

It's a case you can make for almost any player outside that Top 4 chalk

Gordon is contending with a really good young pass catching back

Hunt is dealing with Spencer Ware and an awareness by the Chiefs that he broke down last season


Etc Etc

Just not something I'm gonna allow to affect how I draft

This kid is supposed to be the next NFL franchise back, and he can't even make through 5 carries in an NFL game or a typical non-contact NFL style camp in preseason without getting a hammy.

That's the sole risk.

I think a lot of these injuries are BS right now, and only some of them are legit.

Maybe he has a tell when its gonna be play action, and they are working on it but don't want another team to pick up on it in preseason?

I might be a little drunk, my 2nd best friend at work retired and we had happy hour

I don't see Odell being down graded because the Giants might have some blow outside in theory. It's more of effort to nitpick Barkley potential.
Why would his affection with cocaine downgrade him? It worked for Michael Irvin!
