He has taken criticism for it, but Dave Gettleman isn’t afraid to make bold, unexpected decisions.

The Giants general manager drafted Duke quarterback Daniel Jones at No. 6 when Dwayne Haskins seemed to be the most likely choice. He traded Odell Beckham Jr.: a controversial player, but still one of the best wide receivers in the league.

Gettleman has dealt with his fair share of second-guessing, especially in the wake of those two big decisions. New York’s GM held a press conference at training camp on Wednesday, during which he reiterated that the fans need to trust that he knows what he’s doing.

“Give us some credit for the experience and our resumes,” said Gettleman. “They just gotta trust. Pat (Shurmur) has been coaching a long time. I’ve been doing this a long time … we’ve all been doing this a long time. We’re professionals … you can’t turn this thing around on a dime.” Noah K. Murray/USA TODAY Sports Gettleman’s resume and experience are now resting on how these decisions will pan out for the Giants. If Daniel Jones doesn’t have success, then Gettleman will surely be blamed, as he is the one who chose him to be the team’s next franchise quarterback. The criticism wasn't just about Jones being taken, but about how early he was selected. The Giants very well might have been able to take Jones further back in the first round. Noah K.

The 68-year-old Boston native has been New York’s GM since the end of the 2017 season. He had also previously spent time with the Giants as their Pro Personnel Director.

The Giants inked Beckham, their best player, to a massive new five-year deal before last season. Gettleman explicitly said that the team hadn't re-signed Beckham just to trade him. Seven months later, Gettleman traded Beckham to Cleveland. Beckham has since taken shots at the Giants in GQ, and Eli Manning has even responded. Gettleman refused to be drawn in to the feud surrounding Beckham’s departure.

“Odell plays for the Cleveland Browns now and we’re moving on. We wish him the best. No more Odell questions.”
