HTG, A Rumor I actually heard at TTD about Eli trade

Rich Houston-NYG-WR-1971 : 8/19/2014 8:09 am
I was driving back from work late last night in the city and decided to stop and get dinner at Tick Tock Diner. I was sitting at the stool area and trying to configure my fantasy team when a dude sat down next to me with a binder that had a Giants 'ny" emblem on it. The dude noticed the back of my phone had a "NY" logo on the protector and he asked where I bought that. I told him at a Kiosk in a mall.

So I noticed his binder and said cool binder and we ended up talking about the team. I eventually told him if he were a fan he should join BBI. He told me he already went to the site said alo of crazy posters on the site including a guy that drags an Eagle in the parking lot. Upon hearing this I laughed and said that guy was me man. He said holy crap..sorry I didn't mean to offend you I said none taken.

He then said to me you know I am into marketing and I hear a lot of stuff around the stadium and he told me the Giants might trade Eli to Houston or St.Louis in a two or three way trade. I said no way. The dude said very possible because Eli is in his option year and he is not comfortable with this new offense. I said well Houston needs a QB and St Louis is not all that enamrored with Bradford. He also said Tenneesee might be interested too.

I thought the guy was full of it until I saw him driving away in a brand new Audi Quattro. In any event

HTG means honest to God.

Even when you are talking about Giants football...

You can't get any kind of equal value in a trade for a franchise QB. No one is giving away franchise QBs in return.

A franchise QB only comes around rarely. If the Giants don't resign this one, they will just have to find one through the draft like they did before.

...the one part of the story that rings true is that Eli is not comfortable with the new offense. While I think Eli can be successful in any offense this side of a read-option, his talents are really best suited for a play-action, vertical offense.

And then there was this comment from Coughlin about Nassib, which could be viewed as a veiled criticism of Eli...
Quote:
The thing I thought he did which really helped us, which we don’t have much of, is the quarterback starting to move sometimes and many times the threat of him coming out of there. So all you have to do is look at the other team, including Hasselbeck running up the sideline, 38 years old running up the field. That’s all you have to do, see it and know what that does to a defense if the quarterback can run.

You have to at least marvel at his longevity. I think he's lasted longer on 1 handle than the next 5 closest trolls combined.

I mean, is it even longevity if it's so beyond the point of anyone even blinking? Not one person ever believes anything he posts. He never fools anyone. The stories about his dad hitting him over the head with bags full of empty Schlitz cans or throwing him down the stairs definitely made me laugh, but... efforts like these are just poor and must be eliminated from the repertoire.

It's like a pitcher who was a power arm when they came up but lost most of their velo. You've either gotta reinvent yourself and become RA Dickey or your career is over.

I wanted to add the dude who told me this story must have been a big wig marketing guy..and yes he drove a brand New Audi Quattro like a previous poster posted the link.

We talked about a lot of stuff and he told me about the aforementioned trade scenarios. The dude was very adament the Giants will move Eli soon prior to the season beginnng. So many teams need a new qb I ate the Meatloaf dinner while he had a Reuben Sandwich. He offered to pay for my Meatloaf dinner because the conversation was good and he felt a little bad for insinuating I was crazy dragging the Eagle.
