Unlike the Raiders, the Giants have quite a bit of talent that can be tapped into - hire the right coordinators and get some better injury luck, and I can see them being competitive. The Raiders roster is so bad, they have maybe 3 above average players on the entire roster (Bowers, Jeanty, Crosby), worst OL in the league and worst defensive personnel outside of Crosby. Conversely the Giants have a core on defense to build around in Burns, Carter, Thibodeax, Lawrence, Okereke, etc.
