Wait, how does it look any better? Unless you're counting QB successes in the top 5 that weren't traded for... in which case they're not available to trade for.
Remember, you have to have a willing trade partner here.

Frankly, Hurts and Lamar are not able to realistically keep taking hits like that either

Yeah, this is definitely where we disagree. Outside of Allen, none of those players are what I would call "good," especially for giving up the farm to move into the top 5.
Trubisky - Bad. Got run out of town and didn't even get his 5th year option picked up.
Goff - Mediocre at best. Was so "not the answer" in LA that they gave up two more first round picks to find his replacement, and that's after already giving up two firsts, two 2nds, and two thirds for Goff. Honestly the best on this list, but zero championships and playing for another team after five seasons isn't what you want for that investment.
Wentz - Bad. He had one great year but never even won a playoff game. The team around him was so good that Nick Foles won a Super Bowl with them. Didn't even get a second contract.
RG3 - Bad. One good year and then a complete washout.
Sanchez - Bad. The team won despite him. Somehow probably the second best on this list by the account of doing enough to win some playoff games and getting an extension.
Vick - Bad. Tantalizing to watch, but couldn't remain healthy, couldn't lead the team to the playoffs more than twice, and then got himself kicked out of the league for a bit.
Sorry, if you're trading into the top-5, it better be for a player that takes you to the playoffs and wins multiple times at the very least, and lasts for a second contract, if not makes you surefire contenders for the Super Bowl.
Also, not to overly nitpick, but the only QBs on your list here that qualify for jumping from inside the top 10 to the top 5 are Darnold, Trubisky, Wentz, RG3, and Vick. That makes the list even more painful to look at.

Jalen Hurts got hurt pun intended taking those hits in that offense lol.

You have to think they are going to be looking at the Philly coordinators with how long this is taking. When are we able to speak to them?
If you're not arguing one way or another and your only point is to tell me to shut up you can just be quiet and save your energy. Or hit the ignore button.
If you don't think the narrative around this franchise, and especially around Kyler Murray is determined by what people say in the media then I don't know what to tell you. That's like saying that the day/night cycle isn't effected by the Sun.
The narrative that Kyler has allowed to be told about him being a difficult energy vampire that doesn't study and is a poor leader is having a direct effect on the HC search. How could it not? Even had we not been told it is, it's obvious.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
...and also because he at times bails on a clean pocket and does his bad spin move out of said clean pocket and into the pass rush. Not always, and he certainly didn't always have a clean pocket, but he has definitely developed a propensity for it. Is it because its just a bad habit or he's so gun shy because the line, due to GM incompetence and injury, is often so awful?
What a crock. There's no more rebuild required than the Texans, or Colts. 75% of the HC jobs that come on the market every year are no different than the situation here.
Was Brain Daboll thinking that Giants roster was on the verge of greatness last year? Was Matt Eberflus thinking that Chicago were close? Was Doug Pederson thinking the team that picked 1st the last 2 years was the best roster he could get? Or the Jets roster when they hired Saleh, or Lions when they hired Campbell.
This ain't aimed at you but the idea that coaches are turning us down because of the roster is just ludicrous.

The only guy we haven't interviewed is the favorite?
It would be a weird flex by Mike to interview several black candidates then hire the one white guy he's not interviewed.
Yeah I've watched it. It was still fine.
I do find it funny when people say "Ignore those 2 professional organisations and the number of analysts they employ that say the O line was fine and trust me, who watched about 10 seconds of actual O line play all year because I'm looking at the ball most of the time".

Yes he calls plays. But it's likely Dabolls offense.

I dont see it either. Unless he knows thats the guy and is just trying to see if someone else can win him over first.

It would be ironic but not weird. One may call Michael Bidwill many things because of this franchise's mediocre track record but a racist is not one of them, and I would not put that stamp on his father either

Kafka does call the plays for the Giants.

If it's the preferred offense of Daboll, then that's the offense the Bills use. I figured the Giants would run a version of the Chiefs offense once they hired Kafka to be the OC? Maybe someone should look into this?
I don't think he is either. It just wouldn't look particular great in the situation he is in.

How the Giants’ offensive scheme will change under Daboll, Kafka in 2022
Personnel groupings indicate that Mike Kafka and Brian Daboll are going to change the Giants' offensive scheme drastically in 2022.

Here's an article explaining the mix of Chiefs & Bills offenses.

Brian Daboll got the Giants to the playoffs in his first season as HC with Mike Kafka in his first season as OC. I think Mike Kafka would be a nice hire for us. Here's my new list.
1. Steichen
1A. Kafka
2. Flores
3. Anarumo

I guess it depends if you mean offense or playbook. Danny Jones is trash, so they didn't throw the ball a lot. I think it's fair to say they didn't run the Chiefs or Bills scheme.
But I'd guess the core of the playbook is Bills due the similarity in size and running of Allen and Jones. I'm sure Kafka as added some of his own things to it.
For example, they ran a bunch of super heavy packages this year where they had like 7 O llinemen and 2 TE's on the field and just said "We're going to run this at you and you're not stopping us". In fact they did it for a whole drive in one game. That's neither Chiefs or Bills.

I think this is pre season clickbait. Both Chiefs and Bills are pass heavy and the Giants didn't turn out like either of them. Nothing like this guy wrote anyway.

No it's not Chiefs or Bills but it's more Daniel Jones lol. He's just not a great QB is why. However, if Kafka can turn Jones around, enough to make the playoffs, what can he do with Kyler?
