He should have just hung out with Shockey more and been a playboy.

That's what it looks like. Reese seems to turn down injured players and why would he want a cut player who failed his physical. I am sure this is just Reese giving Strahan a signal that no player is bigger than the team. Don't want to play, then we will find somebody who does. When Reese cut all our deadwood right away I had respect for him.

He isn't a real threat but at least some threat. Really it's a big if that he comes at a good price and doesn't get all disgruntled when being backup. I am sure he will end up on a team where he has a better shot than on the Giants but if he sits around and nobody wants him then it's a better gamble than what we currently got IMHO. This whole thread is a big hypothetical situation.

Every position needs pressure and right now Eli has no pressure. Maybe Culpepper isn't Peyton but he can at least give Eli some drive to try that much harder. If he comes with a manageable salary then he is better than the three clearly bench warmers that the Giants have now. This all hypothetical because who really knows how bad his knee is or if he will want much more money than he deserves. But if he can pass a physical and comes at good price than take him and cut those scrub QBs. Maybe it's a gamble but a gamble is better than knowing the backups aren't going to be helping if Eli has to miss some games.

That's why I am with you on this one. The Giants have scrubs as backups and they aren't going to make Eli sweat. The Giants need somebody to light the fire under Eli like Dayne did to Barber. Eli needs to start working for his job like all the other positions.

Well then he better get to conditioning because the WWE ain't no couch potato league either. He had to be helped off the field makes be believe he is in really bad shape.

I hear what the Dog is saying and their is definitely that cockeyed optimism on this MB (ahhh.. remember the calls for a spectacular 12-4 season last year). Only time will tell if BJack can carry the load for a full season or whether he will tire out before defenses do. I think he will be good but I doubt he gets much more than 1,000 yards (which is great as far as I am concerned).

Well hopefully he does more than just PR (which Ross will compete for) and I am getting a little worried about Moss. There never seems to be anything about him in Giants news articles.

It looks like Moss is going to have to really fight for playing time. Smith at 3rd WR and Bradshaw on returns leaves Moss with limited playing time. I hope Underwood stays healthy because the Giants need all the help they can get in the secondary.

The worst thing about that game is that my dad is a 49ers fan. I was being an ass and just railing on him. When the 49ers won it was hell for weeks. Stupid Giants.

It's amazing how some people still blame Norwood. It was hardly a chip shot and that was the best Superbowl I have ever seen. I still remember Hostetler getting smelling salts more than once and the teams were out to kill each other. Maybe it's nostalgia talking but the Superbowls lately just seem boring.

And that's why he will end up on ESPN or someplace where's it's easy to look smart when you're surrounded by people who can barely pronounce their words properly. Hey here's to his new career tanking and coming out of retirement. Of course if BJac produces this year then he can be the backup.

I really wish the Giants would have gotten a decent backup to put Eli on notice. There is absolutely no competition and the best thing would be to push him. Either he'll respond like Tiki or fold and then the Giants can move on. I say at least 2 more years to show greatness but like Nas said he has been good already.

The guy is going to be in a wheelchair soon. Bad knees, ruptured achilles and 3 broken bones in his legs.

All are good but Jacobs/Droughns replacing Tiki and especially if they can play clock control running. If this happens the D won't be on the field enough to suck and Eli can get more relaxed.

I am sure Strahan will get another 10 sacks so it's a non-issue really. Maybe it'll be a big deal before the 10 but he'll get more than that and secure it for good.

He is the Pillsbury Throw Boy. I am sure if Eli missed the bucket it would have been the bucket's fault because it was thrown where only the bucket could have caught it if a DB was defending him.

It's only a 6 hour drive from here so hopefully next year.

Not a bust. The definition of bust to me is not where you are drafted but how long you play. Hilliard has now been in the league for 11 years and was on the Giants for 8. It doesn't matter that he hasn't gotten pro bowl numbers but that has lasted this long (especially with his major injuries). A bust doesn't last 11 years. How many players are still playing from the hundreds drafted in his draft year?

I'd like to be a fan of that team.

It's because he's Plax and everybody wants to go "I told you he's a prick". If he doesn't want to sign jerseys it's his prerogative and if he got mad at a woman it's no big deal. For all we know maybe he knew her and got pissed because of some thing prior. It's all hearsay and "eye witness" accounts which are sketchy at best. The tab thing may have just been a mistake and I am sure he will pay it.

How most people at Giants.com keep their jobs is a mystery. The site is cluster fuck.

Holy shit thread is lame. The I am Douche article is even better. No wonder nobody new joins.

I told you so.

Then he would just be a big distraction, he ain't called MeShawn for nothing.
