    4 years 84 million dollars.......for a QB who has not lead the Giants
    to the playoffs the last three years.

    Imagine 21 million dollars per year for a non playoff team QB.
    That's reasonable!

    Not Eli's fault. His old OC was a moron who put in an offense where Eli had to guess where his receivers would go. Mind boggling. His dumbass GM has no clue how to trade down, stock pile picks and stop reaching in drafts. Eli's year last year was tremendous. It's a disgrace they didn't make the playoffs with his year.

    Giants should be eyeing UCLA's QB Josh Rosen as
    their next professional QB......in 2018 Draft.

    Can we please stop with the trades for picks. It has been years of the same thing. This is not the NHL. It doesn't happen. Teams aren't going to give you their valuable picks when the deadline is after week 7 and you just want to unload you crap. Plus, how are you going to trade for example your third receiver in Randle and get nothing back and have no way to fill the position? What are you going to do put a practice squad guy out there and make a total mockery of things? We already saw that Preston Parker is brutal. Please just stop with the trade nonsense.

    Wrong. There are tons of teams that trade down all the time in drafts and acquire extra picks. Our moron GM sits there with a thin roster and never does it. Also, teams were reportedly offering 2nd and 3rd round picks for Nicks. The assclown demanded a first and ended up getting dick for him. I already said, go with the kid from CT who to me showed a lot of promise in the pre-season. Like Cunningham better than Donnell. Beatty is expendable. Those are three guys you can trade if your GM realizes your team sucks, isn't going anywhere and you need picks to build a team. Giants have to get another second rounder this draft, and probably another third. Of that group I think Randle or Beatty could probably land you a second or third. I think you have a good chance of sending Randle to GB for a second since they lost Nelson. They aren't winning the SuperBowl without Nelson unless they get a legit 800 WR to step in. Jones isn't it.

    The concept of acquiring extra picks is lost on that asswipe Reese. Just as it is drafting LB's early. Thus why we have been sitting here for years with slow, unathletic ILB and OLB's. If Kennard is the best on your unit, you are screwed.

    So you trade in and around the draft. You don't trade in season and leave roster holes you can't fill when you're thin to begin with. No team unless they're 0-6 is going to concede a season and have half a practice squad out there. It's just ridiculous. Plus, you say the player is crap but you actually think Green Bay wants them. They have Cobb, Adams and Jones who you say isn't it has history with Rodgers and scored twice yesterday. That was a silly comment about James Jones as him and Rodgers have hooked up for 43 touchdowns. It was idiotic for Giants to cut him in favor of Parker.

    Jennings told not to score on first or second down. What incompetence.

    Wow. The more I listen to Eli* about that infamous
    last drive at Dallas in Gm 1, I really wonder how the
    hell he won 2 SBs.........LUCK. He is missing a few
    cards in his deck! And 4 more years of "blame me"......
    and $84 million dollars. Stupid is stupid.

    * Eli stands for Elisha....Full name is Elisha Nelson Manning.

    Great lesson for kids in school. You can be able not to count to three and still make 21 million dollars a year. I was telling my brother, don't be surprised if the Giants see a franchise available QB after next year in the draft and take him. Eli will have 2 years left on his contract then.

    While I don't let Eli off the hook for his stupidity the clear lack of communication between him and sideline when the game is on the line is frightening. Coughlin needs to either be in charge or retire now.

    Yes, Reese concocted this group of players and they leave
    much to be desired. He has accumulated roster players with
    limited talent with a few very talented players and expects
    a winning team. If this team does not make the playoffs,
    and it looks as though that is where they are headed.......
    out of the playoffs.....that will make it four consecutive years
    with no playoffs.
    NOT ACCEPTABLE!.........and adios.
