Steve Smith: Eagles wanted me MUCH more than NYG

Mentions Gilbride.

Why is everybody pissed with SS. He had every right to take the deal. It's not like the Giants matched and he walked, or took care of him after his record breaking season. It's a business both ways.

Tell me how to defriend him on facebook?

Because I don't want to read his BS anymore, clearly it's all about the money. Not happy to see him gone but I'd rather Reese not overpay for him.

On the flip side, more $$$ to give to Super Mario next winter.

this really sucks to see him go over there.

if the Giants made you a cheapo offer and another team made you a good offer, what would you do?

Good luck, SS...except when you play any game for the Eagles.

I think it was a confluence of things.

Knee injuries are pretty detrimental to any athlete, and to WRs they tend to level a good impact (and never positively).

I do think the Giants are being careful with their money and cap situation. They're going to want to lock up guys like Thomas and Manningham I would think and maybe look at a few other FAs as well.

and money do people not understand??

and Nicks is a terrific 1-2 combo.

I'm really excited to see what Cruz can do.

We can use that money for BBI instead. I also will never buy another Giants Jersey in my Life with these overpriced asshole players names again 7

I have a legit Smith Authentic. Is there a place you can purchase name plates?

I'm gonna change the number to 21 and was hoping I could get a Phillips name plate.

Anyone have a link???

on the bottom left of the page there should be a link that says, "Unlike".

but 2 mil is nothing.

Signing with the Eagles is a fuck you to the team, not just following money. If he's mad, he's mad. We know how the Giants do business, and I know they were fair with him.

understand it full well.

I also understand he just went to my most hated fucking team in the league.

business or not, he can go fuck himself from here on out. he's a cocksmoking eagle now

I hope he is right but I am becoming a doubter.

but i won't knock him for taking the best offer wherever it is. These guys aren't fans, they're employees

But that said, ill add to the chorus of FUCK YOU STEVE

- Smith detractor before it was fashionable

We agree, there's something about this team in recent seasons that this indicates to me they were ready to shake things up in terms of personnel. Lock up the indentified healthy core, continue to build via the draft, and go for UFA when it presents itself.

Ash, good to see you, dude.

you are either with us, or against us. You sir are now a fucking E-Gal and are against us! Take your fucking money and choke on it!!

to leave yourself without a TE, let's face it Pascoe is a street FA, Ballard a UDFA and Beckum a specialist...is inexcusable.

Add to that for all the young talent at WR there is no one who has at this time what Smith brings to the game, consistent, reliable, ability to get open, who knows where the first down marker is...something I think Eli needs in a receiver as well...

Not the moves of a contender, nor what I expect of Reese.

fuck you jerry reese. And iv allways defended him but fuck him!!. Andrews all this doe overpay Canty Boley and Rolle and we can't sign one of our own clutches players in recent history to a 2 year 2 million dollar deal. He was such a great route runner. Giants records and we let him slip to Philly. I'm so sick!

He's a Philadelphia F*cking Eagle. I don't care. "I knew it was you Steve. You broke my heart. YOU BROKE MY HEART!"

I'm not pissed he went to another team. But to the Eagles?? For what they signed him for??

Basically giving the Giants the finger.

not a good sign for him

has every right to take the deal.

And every Giants fan has a right to hate him for doing it.

I understand the guy needs money and business decisions do come into play, but he just tossed out his legacy for me. I won't remember him for the big year he had a year or so ago or the contributions towards the SB run (where he was not a main guy though).

To me, he'll be known as a traitor. And if he wins a SB ring with the Eagles, if I was the Giants, I'd never let him back for any of the former Giants things or the SB remembrance.

Steve smith.

Hammer is spot on about that.

Whatever. There's a reason we play the games.

I think this Giants team is going to be better than a lot of people think. I also didn't expect much from Smith going forward this season. This doesn't really change things for me.

more this year than i ever have. He's not a fan. Hes a clear thinker who assigns a value to a player and won't budge on it just to appease fans who are pissed that one of their jerseys is not outdated

Played hardball with Bradshaw, got his guy at the price he wanted. Let Boss and smith walk for deals he wasn't willing to apparently match. And i agree with him on both fronts

Time will prove that this offseason was a very good one for him. But i expect it to get lost in the hysteria right now

I agree but i'm not surprised..going to the eagles yes, but not surprised that he left..

.,

Gman shows up serving in his role as Chief Apologist for the player.

This team got old in a few places and there's been some stagnation lately as we've all noticed with not getting back to the playoffs.

but at least Armstead got rich.

Steve sold himself to a hated rival for peanuts, probably because he was insulted.

Fuck it. The tradeoff is we probably get to keep Manningham and Thomas.

I have the opposite feeling..I think it's been too much turnover of personnel in the last few years..

Eric said this and i agree, this is a transition year..

giants legacy butchered worse than tiki

hope you've been well.

I'm pretty excited about our team. The Prince injury was pretty disappointing, since I thought he'd be a big part of our D this season. That said, I feel pretty good about our squad and I'm excited to see Cruz get some snaps this year and our other young WR's get some opportunities.

Smith: "I'm pretty sure" Giants were able to match offer from Eagles.

I know he is older, but he did't play until end of October right? And, he did not play well.

the happiest man on the team right now

we're gonna be fine on O without him

gman, I was prepared for him to leave


but... The fucking eagles?????????? gahhhh


fuck him

how do i "unlike" Steve Smith's page?

I'm guessing we won't see any quotes from Tom Coughlin about how he 'can't wish him well'.

bottom left of his facebook page should be an "unlike" link.

I'm no apologist..i dopn;t link my personal feelings to players..This is about getting paid and he chose to get paid..

if it was about loyalty or other things, wouldn't the Giants offered him a longer contract or more money? They mad a business decison. Smith made one too..

I think that's a completely reasonable take.

That said, I still like this team a lot when they're on the ropes.

Look in the bottom left, you will see a bottom that says 'unlike'.

thanks guys.

It may be better longer term, but right now we're toaling too many players in a short period trying to acclimated to a new system..And with all the injuries this team is compounding..

In business and life there is no bigger mistake than doing something that you do not believe in for the sake of other people doing something. That has been the Reese mantra from day one and I agree with it 100%.

And call me cynical but he wanted no part of battle with nicks or manningham cause he wouldn't win for the 1 or 2 postion. And it appears his pride wasn't going to let him accept 3rd wr non guaranteed money from the giants while believing he was a "true #1".

I also know this is not something that gets the team down, if anything it's a an even bigger motivation because they can play the "oh were not good enough card" which always works with NFL meatheads

we just need it to be 415 September 11th In fed ex field with Rex grossmen lined up under center.

can you imagine the damage he will do over the middle as Jackson and Maclin take the backside of defense deep? I am ill just thinking about it.

...great.

The best thing to do is forget about this guy and root for the receivers we have...

...and relish the moment when we beat the fuck out of the Eagles.

I never even bother resigning his slow ass in Madden. I always ended up re-upping Manningham over him. In all seriousness someone will fill his role and maybe he comes back after his 1yr deal is up.
