Flynn and Freeman in town today; both will visit Tuesday

My understanding on the Giants and QBs: They want to sign a veteran before training camp.

"just seems to make sense to sign Freeman"

I would have said

FLYNN

FREELYN

.

by Freeman, I think he got screwed by Schiano. I think with the leadership here and the coaching staff he might be a keeper.

is the more intriguing talent; flynn is a jon kitna 2.0

Sugar Free Man....he might be late tomorrow...he's gettin his nails done.

I read on BBI we need a more mobile athletic QB and thats why the haven't restructured Eli...

.

injured at some point and is now known to have sub-par arm strength?

-BBI Instant Reaction

MNF performance last year was absolutely terrible; i can't remember a more inaccurate performance by a qb. i never once felt threatened about gthe vikings chances to move the ball, even with perhaps the greatest RB in the NFL on their side.

I don't know if it was the lack of familiarity with their playbook/receivers or the wind, but it was a truly epic atrocious performance.

I've also seen the flipside of Freeman, an immensely talented big armed QB who can also take off when needed and pick up yardage with his legs and has a history of some success at the pro level.

Flynn has had a couple of incredible games in the well-oiled packers offensive system, but he couldn't beat out russ wilson and while familiarity with mcadoo's system/lingo would give him an initial advantage, if all else is equal financially, freeman seems to have the higher potential.

He was with them for 6 whole days..

Matt Flynn is a good backup.

Josh Freeman should not be held responsible for his performance in that game against the Giants. He was just signed by the Vikings and had no time to learn anything. There has been stuff in the news since then with opinions from NFL GM's in the league that he got totally screwed by the Vikings by being thrown in there like that.

The guy obviously has some issues to work through. But the Giants fixed Kerry Collins.

Matt Flynn is the safe signing. If Josh Freeman really wants to get it together then I'd be fine with him too. He can get it done when his mind is right (remember the OT game against the Bucs??)

and not willing to put in the time to be good. Rather have Flynn even if he is less talented. Last thing you want is a second stringer that doesn't know the playbook.

Or to help clean up around the locker room after practices. He seems better qualified to do the latter

One man leaves.

sacrificed attending their family seder to be in here tonight.

Will be qb in playoffs
After eli gets benched

is horrifying.

You are the worst long term poster on this site by a wide margin.

bringing in Freeman and Flynn says more about Painter than Nassib.

I disagree. The Giants have gone with two QBs when they've had a backup they trusted. If Nassib was ready, Painter, Freeman and Flynn wouldn't be discussed.

so you think if Nassib played well then he would be the only QB other than Eli on the roster? You realize the Giants always carry at least 4 QB's on the roster during training camp because they need that many. Now that Eli is out 6 weeks that would just leave Painter and Nassib so they are forced to bring in at least one more and why not bring in a veteran who has some talent rather than a former UDFA who won't help much in practice?

the Giants have carried 4 QB's on the training camp roster when they had a backup they trusted.

performance against the Giants last season can be blamed on the wind.........it was a night game.

Give him a little time. Right now we don't know.

is one of the more bizarre things in recent memory.

He was a very promising young qb, who seemed to lose the support of his coach, then his team, in rapid succession.

Whatever damaged him internally from being around Schiano and that team really broke him. He gets to Minny, who signed him really believing they could fix his head in short order, and they almost immediately gave up on him.

This year's FA begins and nobody even thought about him for a month. Do you know how important qb's are, and the whole league just ignored him?

There clearly seems to be some sort of shared perception that he has something wrong with him that isn't fixable. Do you know how many chances talented guys get? Look at Flynn, who had 1 great game as a backup in GB, and turned it into 3 separate teams trying to hand him the reigns, which he screwed up all three times.

for Nassib at this point. I'd hope that the Giants trusted him to be the backup, but that's clearly not the case yet.

Averages out to an average back-up ...

I think I may have to agree. Ridiculous really if they sign one of these guys and he jumps in front of Nassib for the spring practices.

freeman has an offer to be Raiders starting QB yet he still takes visit here...?
