Eli Manning-savior of the Giants?

jp by jpOG 2003 · Apr 29, 2004 · 274 views

Will Eli Manning help turn around a 4-12 team and make them into a playoff contender, or will they have to suffer growing pains of a rookie quarterback? We can all agree that Manning will eventually become a great QB, but how long will it take for him?

giants won't make it to the superbowl in awhile.. even with eli and washed up kurt warner

aviator #7 aviatorOG 2004

Good question though is who is gonna be the RB for Philadelphia. They had 3 guys sharing that duty heavily last year.

jp #6 jpOG 2003 informative

The Eagles will have TØ, but he won't do anything. He's fading and he will be covered by the whole defense of other teams. He will get injured again too, and that first game Philly fans boo him because he pulls up lame and doesn't go 100%, his cheerleading will be over.

modestjesse #6.1 modestjesseOG 2004

This needs an informative mark.

perrin #6.1.1 perrinOG 2004

Why?

jamiephaser #6.2 jamiephaserOG 2003

Please dude dont be bitter because last time the Giants were in the playoffs he to single handley knocked them out. He embarreseed your secodnary. Hers a reference point.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=3664

He has 9 rec , 177 yds, and two tds and one was for 76 yds nasty. That was against the giants in the 2002 playoffs so he loves your secodnary.

Yeah hes fading alright I mean he only had 80 rec, 1102 reciveing yards and 9 tds oh and Jeff garcia was injured infact most of the year. He did better when rattay was in the line up and its hard to have those stats on a losing team,

The Giants had no one with 80 catches 9 tds , Amani toomer had a thousand reciveing yards last year i wouldnt mind having him on my team excellent reciver.

TO wont get injured he missed one game last year. And has never missed more than two games in a season

You guys take the eagles grabage all day, Brian Mitchell still hast reached the 20,Dorsey Levens ,Carlos Emmons.

Also Philly will him embrace cause we hate Dallas and he put the ball on the star we love that stuff, he is a philly guy. And yes he will def get booed at times. But first before the Giants worry about TO they gotta stop Brian Westbrook rememebr that punt.

Plus don't talk football with your heart talk with your head. To Say TO is fading is not informative take a look at his stats.

I dont wanna say the giants wont make the playoffs cause you never know they have a good core of players. They deffenitly are a threat but they have glearing weaknesse's

1 there offensive line was not improved or updated at all last season Among the worst in the league Kerry collins was a servicable qb but he got sacked all the time.

2 The have Kurt Warner starting once the best at his posistion now it comes into question is kurt done, did he need a change of sceneary, or did teams finally catch on too him.

3 you're linebacking and safteys are big questions?

4 you have a feature back that fumbles on a regualr basis. Also Ron Dayne has been a bust so far bring Rodney Hampton back.

Your team will be really good in a couple years but right now you cant hang with the eagles.

In two years maybe even next year with some ket free agents additions the ginats will be scary shockey is excellent and eli will be good.

hunkpapap #6.2.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

all i read was blah blah blah the eagles suck...

perrin #6.2.1.1 perrinOG 2004

HAHAHAHA. NICE!

jamiephaser #6.2.1.2 jamiephaserOG 2003

well see who sucks in sep. I am pretty sure the eagles will take the first game.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

you want to know the truth? YOU'RE RIGHT! It sucks that the eagles are so good. And the cowboys, the giants will be fortunate if the come out with an 8-8 record. But i still root for them faithfully...

jamiephaser jamiephaserOG 2003

Ah yes thats good to come back to reality take a deep breath. You like the cowboys and the giants. Your not allowed to like the cowboys if ur a giant fan.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

no no ONLY a giants fan.. I meant that the Cowboys would be a good team cuz of the tuna. BUT now that Quincy "snorting" Carter is gone, they won't be as good...

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

i despise the cowboys!

perrin perrinOG 2004

Good I do too. lol

jamiephaser jamiephaserOG 2003

Well quincy wasnt that good anyway, but the egles will rule.

thefunkyfresh #6.2.1.3 thefunkyfreshFounder

yeah me too, lol

jamiephaser #5 jamiephaserOG 2003

They will have to get past my eagles first. first game of the season bring it on. T.O. is gonna have your corners for lunch

aviator #5.1 aviatorOG 2004

Haha the Eagles. philadelphia teams suck.

socalgal #5.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

all east coast teams.... *HAHAHAHA*

aviator #5.1.1.1 aviatorOG 2004

actually i think the suckiest team in football is still the Raiders.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

nope it's the dolphins (east coast)

socalgal #4 socalgalOG 2003

hey isn't that bacehlor guy Jesse Palmer QB for giants?

perrin #4.1 perrinOG 2004

Yeah. He got into a lot of trouble with management over that.

socalgal #4.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

how could he? doesnt he have to get approval beforehand?

perrin #4.1.1.1 perrinOG 2004

It did it without their knowledge. I really don't know the specifics all I know is he did it and management wasn't happy about.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

oh wow! i think that it's pretty pitiful....he's not bad looking and he's got a great career, he can meet anyone at anytime....

perrin perrinOG 2004

Yeah I don't get it either. It's rather odd if you ask me why he would even want to go on that show.

aviator #4.2 aviatorOG 2004

CARSON PALMER!!!!!!!!!!

modestjesse #4.2.1 modestjesseOG 2004

Apparently she's got Jesse on the brain....I wonder why...

socalgal #4.2.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

well i thought he was the QB, my bad he's the back - up QB

Jesse Palmer, drafted by the New York Giants in 2001, brought impressive collegiate credentials to the NFL and became the top back-up quarterback last season,

perrin #4.2.2 perrinOG 2004

Oh yeah. DUH! my bad.

perrin #3 perrinOG 2004

I think we should at least see him play in a few regular season games before I can say anything about the guy. Some guys are amazing in college but just can't hack it at the pro level. We will have to wait and see how he does. Let's just hope he's not another Dayne.

modestjesse #3.1 modestjesseOG 2004

They're still the Giants.

modestjesse #2 modestjesseOG 2004

Eli won't be leading the Giants anywhere.

aviator #1 aviatorOG 2004

Haha Eli Manning and Peyton Manning. I wonder who will be the true QB
