  1. I didn't say he was far superior to Eli.....perhaps a bit better, certainly more mobile

     

    The thing is we could have had Rothlingsberger or Philip Rivers (well we did have Phil for 2 minutes) and not had to give up the farm

     

    We paid a lot for a slightly better than average QB, a "Faux" Manning if you will. Also I think Rivers and Ben would have handled the NY pressure a bit better

     

    Eli goes into slumps and I think its mental not physically induced slumps......Eli is a bit mellow

     

    Having said that he often rises to the occasion and shocks the heck out of you with moments of pure genius.....a diabolical hero if there ever was one

     

    In the end Eli will be remembered as more a Phil Simms than a Joe Montana or a Peyton Manning

     

    Disagree with the first part - I don't think Rivers has the head at all for New York - we have seen that guy lose his cool plenty of times before. He's a bit of a loose cannon. Ben can handle the heat probably the same way Eli did - but not better. Eli is fine in NY - that is kind of one thing u can't knock him for. Dude has composure.

     

    Agree somewhat with your last statement - Although I think he will be remembered as superior to Phil. He is already putting up better numbers - all he needs is one more ring and in my opinion that comparison can't be made anymore - eli will own NY.

     

  2. MAN what an athlete.....scored 81 0n the US Open course a few days before the tournament

    2 birdies..........lots of pars

     

    He could play pro golf if he chose, and he rarely plays golf

     

    whipped Michael Jordan who plays every day

     

    yep he is a great golfer... as for the hype about him being a top 3 qb like alot of these analysts make him out to be - I disagree with that... Look how he played in 2008 during the regular season... At times he was downright awful. He is wildly inconsistent but has some great comebacks and does get the W's (even though I think his defense bails him out alot). I just don't get how some people are so quick to crown him and bash Eli.... Ben has been blessed with not good but GREAT defenses. I give him all the credit in the world for his playing his best when it counts in the 4th quarter... but he was a BAD quarterback for the majority of 2008... I just don't get the different ends of the spectrum both quarterbacks are placed on by the so called experts

  3. the dog thinks that is a misleading stat, as typically the MLB, especially in the 4-3 scheme, is the team's leading tackler...if you look, 8 out of the first 10 players that lead the league in tackles were MLB, and 17 of the first 30...plus, according to NFL.com, Pierce was credited with 95 tackles and not 137 (not sure who is in the wrong with regards to information, Eisen or NFL.com...). Anyway, the dog isn't a Pierce hater, but stats don't tell the whole story.

     

    Can i quote you on that the next time you bash Eli? Cause it should be clear to everyone right now that he's legit.... 4 straight playoff appearances in 4 full seasons as a starter, what is it 17 game winning/game tying drives and a superbowl MVP on the resume

     

  4. Jack GM?

     

    We would be a Danny Ware runned offense.

     

    Rhett Bomar as our QB

     

    Hagan as our WR

     

    Woodson and Wright as our CBs

     

    and etc..

     

    His foolishness is well documented and has been since the days on the giants.com message board years ago. He was calling Jesse Palmer a future pro bowler and calling for him to start and he also wanted Tiki benched if I remember correctly.. Oh and don't let me forget... He wanted Michael Strahan benched all the time... just a first ballot hall of famer

  5. I still laugh to this day..

     

    Tiki bitched and left...5 months later we won the superbowl.

     

    Har Har Har :lol:

     

    Was refering to Shockey but yeah you are right as well. I am one of the few people who give Tiki a pass only because I don't quickly forget what a beast he was. Some of the things he did on the field were unbelievable and he was probably the 2nd best rb in the league when he retired (He still had 3-4 years left in him IMO) - But once he ripped on Eli I was never able to look at him quite the same.

  6. Did you watch the playoff run last year?

     

    You have a pretty valid point although 2 of those players were in by default for one former player at his position bitching his way out of town and a rb going down to injury... And the others played limited roles throughout the season... hard to say with Smith because he was hurt all yr before that so who knows what would have happened with him.

  7. a picture of moss and barden would look like an advertisement for the big brother program

     

    Ha YES!!!! I've accomplished what I set out to do - get everyone back on the Moss hate bandwagon. Jesus the kid pisses me off so bad.

  8. I love Tom as a coach and what he has done for us over the last 4 years speaks for itself, but one problem I have with him is his hesitancy to really use rookies in a great capacity. We NEED Hakeem Nicks starting from day 1 in my opinion. Nicks, Smith and Hixon as the starters and let Manningham and Barden battle it out for the 4th spot. The one major gripe I always had with Tom was the way he used Shockey. If you remember Shockey's rookie season, he was practically a wide receiver in a tight ends body - Seam routes down the field, deep ins, he was a bigtime playmaker - he had like 900 yard his rookie year under Fassel. Then Coughlin came in and Shockey was mostly a blocker with the occasional 9 yard curl mixed in. I never really understood that. Nicks has the ability to go over the middle and turn it into big gains ala Anquan Boldin - something this team has not had in awhile... And I think we need to see it from day 1.

  9. In truth we totally agree on this

     

    I wonder if Pierce will survive the gun hiding incident.....I can't picture Coughlin taking to a guy who drives our star WR into NYC with a gun hanging out of his pants

     

    then spends 12 hours trying to hide the gun and injury

     

    Any decent teamate would go to lengths to help out one of their own. What do you want him to do - Call the cops? He was looking out for the team... Question Pierce's speed or whatever you want on the field, but the guy loves playing for the Giants and it shines through in his interviews and he was looking out for the team

  10. Only makes sense that the people who know the least would complain about this pick. He is absolutely perfect for what we need. The Giants did good by their draftboard and anyone that has an argument feel free to bring it to my attention as I will shut you down.

     

    well said. We got 3 players who are very good. I even wanted Beatty at 45! WHat a good value pick at 60!

  11. Could it be that the only reason nothing has been made official is that we are working out a new contract deal with Edwards prior to the trade? I know he only has 1 year left on his deal and I'm sure the Giants would like some security (knowing they'll have him for a long time) if they will be trading a player in a package in return. Maybe talking some figures?
