From a Giants fan: with look at these advanced stats are you guys more or less interested in Saquon?

Whats up Texans fans, I keep seeing PFF, ESPN and other outlets talking about saquon coming over to you guys. Not sure if anyone remembers but I made a post here back in Dec asking if you guys were interested in Saquon, these outlets should be tipping me lol. Anyways below I will include some advanced stats and curious to hear your thoughts.

This season behind a 30th ranked line he was:

8th in 10+ runs(explosive), 15+ runs(breakaway), total breakaway yards and breakaway percentage among top 10 RB in breakaway yards

5th in 20+ yard runs and 1st in 30+ yard runs.

Projected over a full season and without 3 missed games he would have been:

2nd in 10+ runs, 5th in 15+ runs and breakaway yards, 4th in 20+ yard runs

He is also the third best rated pass blocking RB among starting RB's this season as well.

Per nfl next gen stats he was a top 10 fastest player in the league in 2 different weeks of the season and top 20 fastest in another week. For reference CMC never made the list which I was surprised by.

As for injury history he has missed 24 games over his entire career while CMC has missed 23 games. Including his season lost to torn ACL he averages 13/17 or approx 76% of games played in a season in a season.

However since that season is an outlier factoring every other season but the torn acl one, he has missed 10 games total for an average of 15/17 or 88% games played for season.

So a better estimate of his availability is 82-88% games played per season

Do these stats combined with CJ still being on a rookie deal and saquon likely only commanding a 3 year deal with 2 year guaranteed allowing you guys to move on from saquon before CJ gets paid, make you more, the same or less interested in him?
