No Shrader sucks.
Everyone knows it.
Dino flucked this one up royally.
He didn’t trade down to a mac, a Delaware or D3 like many wanted, he traded up to Illionois and got himself a camp invite. He didn’t bounce from team to team and then get hot here all of a sudden. The Giants noticed talent, signed him, then kept him and then reluctantly…for you never want your UDFA rookie practice stringer to get regular season snaps….played and then started him. Then kept him again as a starter over a proven NFL QB in Tyrod.
The talent was always there, it doesn’t just appear in a NFL uniform.
Dino didn’t know how, or didn’t have the wherewithal to have an NFL QB, run his offense.
Granted, before Dino went to the TE at QB stupidity that got him fired, he went with the RB at OL stupidity during Covid and got Tommy hurt, but let’s gloss that over too.
Tommy got a raw deal here. If he just called himseld an Illini, id be ok with it.
But apparently he doesn’t, because the Giants announced him as being from both Syracuse and Illinois and then said AND NEW JERSEY’S OWN…TOMMY DEVITO as they cranked the Sopranos theme.
There is no reason he couldn’t have done here what he did as a soph and as 6th year QB at Illinois…..but Dino.
This board can spin it as they like, for Board Rule #1 is always out there….
Tommy = good
Dino = bad
Shrader = TE
