The Giants Suck Too

QB Eagles · December 03, 2007, 08:16:46 PM

Derrick Ward broke his leg and is done for the season. The Eagles might see some Brandon Jacobs next week.

That's what we're hoping. He's supposed to start practicing again this week.

I heard a commentator/analyst (maybe Steve Young?) went completely ballistic about Eli Manning, saying he's no better than a journeyman/backup, and the Giants have really made a serious error hanging their hat on him as the QB. He said there is zero chance the team does anything significant in December or January with him at the helm.

I completely agree. He's actually the worst starting QB in the division, behind McNabb and even Campbell.

That makes sense. It's a near-meaningless game against a mediocre team. Fits his MO nicely.

In the NFC there are very few meaningless games. Every win counts since there's so many mediocre teams with playoff chances. *shrug*

As for Eli, I'm not ready to panic or toss him under the bus just yet. Do I think he will ever go down in the record books as one of the greatest QBs to ever have played the game? My guess is, umm, no.

He does have it in him to have big games when his head is right (and a coaching staff change wouldn't exactly make me cry). I'd rather have a well-rounded team that doesn't rely on a sole position to be able to win...

I'm just glad that they traded away a pile of draft picks that turned into pro-bowlers for Eli. That warms my nuggets.

If there ever was a case to me made for "intangibles" at the QB spot, Eli makes it. Because he has none.

Unstoppable... Eli Manning is!

I can't describe to you how much I laughed at that commercial when they played it right after he threw 3 "pick 6''s against the Vikings.

I love his tuff guy, 2 yard stare, in that spot. He's as soft looking as they come.

Fractured fibula for Shockey, done for the year

Diomedes · December 16, 2007, 11:03:36 PM
