What’s the plan?

NFL general managers usually get three years to turn their programs around. Dave Gettleman should be no different. Next year will be Year 3 and I don’t know anyone in their right mind who believes the Giants will contend in 2020.

I keep hearing and reading Gettleman’s plan could take four years to complete. That’s a 20th century time-frame coming from a 20th century GM.

We’re 20 years into the new millennium; it’s three years or bust. Ask anyone.

Teams go from worst to first all the time and expansion teams can compete in major sports almost immediately (see:Vegas Golden Knights), so Gettleman’s time-frame is garbage.

Three to four years can turn into five to six years in a hurry and a lot of us in the land of the Giants are getting the sense that we are being sold a bill of goods.

And I don’t want to hear about Jerry Reese leaving him a mess, either. Even if Gettleman came in with an empty roster he should be able to put a competitive team on the field by Season 3. If he can’t, get him out of here.
