In this passing era you almost forget what it's like to watch guys who clearly don't have it anymore. Watching Brees,Brady,Rivers, and Ben spoiled us into thinking all QB's built to be playing this late in their careers. Clearly not the case watching Eli and to a less extent Carson Palmer.
Palmer had two good seasons before retiring. He was close to an MVP. Eli has been no threat for years

It's only the right choice if you think Darnold & Rosen aren't gonna amount to shyt.

It wouldn't matter anyway. The only QB that could make it work with this OL is Russell Wilson. Anyone else, you have the makings of a David Carr situation.

tg was looking like a bust before his team got right

That dude won OROY :gucci:

He had one bad year because of a trash line and a passing game that didn't warrant respect from the defense. The Rams addressed that, and now Todd Gurley looks like best offensive player in the league.

The problem is Eli. Not so much that he's washed(he is), it's that he won the two SBs and no one wants to force him out. He's got zero mobility and even though the Giants OL sucks, the problem is amplified because Eli can't move around in the pocket.

Let me see what they do with someone that can move around a bit in the pocket before you blow up the entire team... on another note, who the hell thought Shurmur was a good hire? He was awful in Cleveland and was at best mediocre as an OC.

A franchise QB is a 10-15 year investment. Saying

“well the offensive line sucks NOW so i shouldn’t draft one”

is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Not to mention 95% of the lines across the league aren’t great. We’re in the middle of an Oline crisis right now

Two first round picks for Andrew fukking Luck is a good trade to you? What the fukk has Andrew fukking Luck accomplished?
Times like this I wish the NFL had proper FA...Andrew has been hurt but he's elite and has lead some awful indy teams to the playoffs.

Didn't see a thread :ld:
First Giants game I couldn't watch live and it got spoiled after the fact and the only thought I had was

WHY THE FUKK AM I SUPPORTING THE GIANTS!?

Can Eli Manning and Shurmur get it in their heads that Odell Beckham Jr. is THE BEST wide receiver they will ever have? And do SOMETHING other than letting him run either slants for 5-10 yards or passes at times even BEHIND the blue fukking line? Also: yes Eli, thank you thank you for 2 SB wins, AMAZING. But the dude can't do a single thing OUT of the pocket, he is a step back QB with a very questionable offensive line... of course he barely has time and with little mobility it's not shocking that he's gotten picked off 2 games in a row.

With a forced, predictable running game (as opposed to one that can catch the defense by surprise because the QB is actually USING his superstar WR..), a questionable offensive line (way better than what it was, but not enough to give Manning time or the time he needs), a deteriorating QB (in 2018 a QB who can't move out of the pocket, needs the best offensive line), defense that doesn't put up a fight when it matters and PAT SHURMUR... no wonder it's 1-5 not 5-1.

I will watch every game they play, but WHY on fukking earth do they not get that they need to MAXIMIZE Beckham so the other wide outs become threats and that allows them to implement a real running game with SB who is the best rookie running back the league has seen in a decade at least.

WHY.

I wasn't expecting the Giants to beat the champs, but come on this effort sucked, again.

:snoop:
