After the Giants’ impressive win over the Colts last December, I found myself rethinking the Winston signing. Initially, I was somewhat indifferent, just cautiously optimistic. But now, after reflecting on the situation more, I’m fully on board with the mindset of “Why not us?” Winston has all the tools to succeed—his arm strength is undeniable. What if, with a coach like Brian Daboll, he can rein in his tendency to make bad decisions and channel that talent into something special? Daboll’s leadership and ability to develop quarterbacks could be exactly what Winston needs to reach his potential.
What’s even more exciting is Winston’s personality. The guy exudes positivity, and it’s infectious. His approach to the game seems grounded in gratitude and optimism. He’s one of those rare players who never seems to have a bad day, no matter the situation. This kind of mental attitude could be a game-changer for the Giants as they build a strong culture moving forward. It’s not just about physical talent—it’s about attitude, and Winston’s positive mindset is a huge asset. It feels like this could be the year everything falls into place for him.
I’m really excited about the possibility of building around Winston. With Daboll’s leadership and the right pieces in place, the Giants could surprise a lot of people. One major way to elevate the team is through the draft. We’ve got to be smart and strategic, and there are a few players I’d love to see added to the roster. First, Travis Hunter—this guy is an absolute stud. He’s a rare talent who can contribute both as a cornerback and wide receiver. If we manage to land him, it would be a huge win for the defense and the offense. He’s versatile, athletic, and could provide an instant impact.
Then, there’s Jayden Higgins, a potential gem in the third round. Higgins is a wide receiver who has the potential to be a big-time playmaker at the next level. His combination of size, speed, and ability to make catches in tough situations makes him a solid fit for a team that could use more weapons on offense. Higgins could be the type of player who comes in and contributes right away, providing Winston with another option to build chemistry with.
Another player I’m intrigued by is Jalen Milroe, who could potentially be drafted in the second round. While Milroe is still a bit raw as a quarterback, his athleticism and upside are undeniable. He could serve as a long-term developmental project, and his dual-threat ability would add an exciting dimension to the offense. He might not be the immediate starter, but with Daboll’s coaching, he could be a valuable asset down the line.
When it comes to the defense, things are looking significantly better on paper this year. The Giants have made some key additions, and the talent on that side of the ball is improving. A stronger defense could take a lot of pressure off Winston, allowing him to develop into the quarterback he’s capable of being without feeling like he has to carry the entire team. A balanced approach on both sides of the ball could elevate the Giants to a new level.
Winston could very well be this year’s Darnold—someone who surprises everyone and turns his career around with a change of scenery and a solid coaching staff. It’s easy to look at his past mistakes and assume he’ll never reach his full potential, but what if he’s finally in the right situation to succeed? With Daboll at the helm and a strong supporting cast, there’s no reason why this can’t be the year that Winston shows the world what he’s truly capable of.
The Giants are in a great spot, and the question is simple: Why not us? Why can’t this team rise up and compete at a high level, with Winston leading the way? With the right moves in the draft and continued growth on both sides of the ball, the Giants could be poised for a breakout season. This is the time to believe, to embrace the possibilities, and to trust in the process. Let’s go, Giants! 👊 😤💪
