Bigblue25 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Just because it's been slow. New York Post Backup QB Nassib continues to struggle with Giants By Bart Hubbuch June 12, 2014 | 8:40pm Backup QB Nassib continues to struggle with Giants Ryan Nassib Photo: Paul J. Bereswill Never mind the Giants No. 2 quarterback job. Ryan Nassib appears to be struggling so much in offseason workouts that the Syracuse product might need a terrific training camp and preseason just to keep his roster spot. Nassib had another bumpy organized team activity on Thursday, throwing multiple interceptions including a pick-six in 11-on-11 drills and generally looking lost in new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoos scheme. The Giants seemingly couldnt have made the path to Eli Mannings backup role any easier for Nassib, even cutting former Buccaneers first-round pick Josh Freeman recently. But Nassib doesnt appear to be separating himself from the ailing Curtis Painter, leaving the 2013 fourth-rounders future with the Giants in question. Its definitely a process, and its coming along slowly, Nassib said Thursday. Theyre putting in new stuff every day, and its all about learning it as quickly as you can. Itll take some time, but its coming. Nassibs problems stem mostly from his skittishness in the pocket. He has good size at 6-feet-2, 225 pounds, and a cannon arm, but anything resembling a strong rush often seems to result in happy feet, a short-armed throw or a poor decision. Ryan Nassib. Photo: Nassib didnt take a single snap in the regular season last year, even while Manning was enduring his worst season as a pro, and hasnt appeared to make much progress since scuffling through the preseason as a rookie. Nassib completed just seven of his 19 throws (37 percent) for 114 yards and no touchdowns last August while absorbing five sacks. Thus far, Nassib is making the Giants look bad for their middle-round flyer while making former college coach Doug Marrone now with the Bills look good for choosing EJ Manuel over Nassib last year. Nassib told The Post on Thursday he was hurt by Marrones snub but has since patched it up with his Syracuse boss. I understand now, Nassib said. Its just business. It wasnt personal or anything like that. I ended up in a great situation where I can sit and learn from a two-time Super Bowl [MVP] in Eli. But if Nassib feels frustration about ending up with a team where winning the starting job always has been completely out of the question, he hasnt shown it. Being a competitor, you want to get out there and play and compete, Nassib said. Its also good to sit back and learn and develop, because there have been a lot of great quarterbacks who sat their first few years. Im extremely happy with whats going on here. Whether the Giants feel the same way could be answered as soon as this summer. http://nypost.com/2014/06/12/backup-qb-nassib-continues-to-struggle-with-giants/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 plus i think only 3 of the overall ota sessions were open to the press. and after one of them they cut a qb who wasn't named nassib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Story remains...Eli goes down, we're screwed. Oh, and it was a poor pick in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hopefully he settles down in the pocket. Overall this is not a big deal, he is almost starting from day one again with a new system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigblue25 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Remember, some members on the board were wondering if we could get a second for this schmuck. I didn't understand that logic. If nobody wanted him in his own draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Did anyone really say we would get a 2nd for him this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Did anyone really say we would get a 2nd for him this year? Sadly, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Did anyone really say we would get a 2nd for him this year? No one said we'd definitely get it, but some considered the possibility. Reason being simply is the comparison between Nassib and this year's QB class being underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 A 2nd year QB who didn't get much action in his 1st year is struggling in a completely new system? Shocker!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Sadly, yes. who? edit: nevermind who, no need to embarrass anybody, but as a Nassib fan, no way we were getting a 2nd rounder for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
