Nas Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think Coughlin should play Beckham no matter what. Pulled hamstring, bad knee, gimpy foot... just play him, you IMGRATE! In year four, Beckham can catch maybe 40 passes for 600 yards, and then become a nobody for the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 If you guys thought we had a shot at making the playoffs in 2004 then I have some waterfront property in Arizona for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 And I agree with you agreeing with Boo (just remember, I'm illogical ) Then I continued reading in a very relaxed Thursday morning sipping my coffee and you had to throw it in there... you mentioned a name that should never be mentioned (I have no access to prozac) Sorry to retraumatize ya man... but it had to be written... While you have a winning record you should play the veteran... once you are on a losing streak... throw in the savior... its pretty simple. Otherwise just start the year with Eli playing...if you are going to tank the season ...do it from the beginning... and as long as you are not mathematically eliminated you have a chance... Not a great...good... or fair chance... but a chance none the less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 It just feels like Warner's success in Arizona has caused people to forget just how poorly he was playing towards the end of his days as a Giant starter. He was looking bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 It's in Accorsi's book. Coughlin watched the tape and saw that Warner was missing open guys and waiting for his number one option to come open. In the Arizona game he held onto the ball multiple times for 4 seconds and Bertrand Berry was made to look like Reggie White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigblue25 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Kurt Warner was also benched a few times for Matt Leinart. He took a while to resurrect his career and he attributes that to wearing gloves on both hands interestingly enough. Warner had to be untaught Mike Martz offense too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warner's play in 2004 was the ugliest 60%+ completion rate I've ever seen. Eli had some real stinkers when he came in, but he also had a few games in which it was obvious he would play at a higher level than Warner, especially in less than optimal circumstances. (Warner did have spectacular touch and accuracy when he had time and a target though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 i wish i could find it, but i remember reading an article in the new york times where they broke down his dropbacks and determined that he was holding the ball a couple of seconds longer than the average qb. could be that the receivers weren't getting open, could be that he was trying to hold onto the job by not throwing interceptions but either way he was apparently holding onto it too long.
