as long as we can rework that contract, I hope this is the case also. The anger towards VC is off the charts.

at the soccer game in Turkey?? :)

I'm sure Victor can handle it. He's a big boy.

hate people.

Yup. I'd like to see those punks try to rehab from Cruz's knee injury

all these overpaid "Stars" are going to have to accept JPP money or sit on the couch forever

freeing up huge cap room

we can pick up some very good free agents next year

You have these cowards hiding behind their computers saying all these derogatory remarks to a person that they wouldn't dare say to their face.

He'll be back next year, and no I don't want him cut.

that he needs the surgery. I will say he has played 5 games since getting paid and seems to be very focused on things outside of football since getting paid. Add in the use of the much maligned hashtag #TheReturn after just getting called out on self promotion, makes me continue to question if his focus is on football.

Either way, hes a restructure in the offseason or he will indeed be cut by the Giants.

just get off Twitter...disable your account. Why players don't get this is beyond me? You open yourself up to abuse and idiots when you post stuff on Twitter. There is no need for it.

Cruz has no one to blame but himself for this stuff. if you want to use Twitter then you'd better expect this kind of feedback.

I'm sure Cruz puts as much work and effort into his job in one week then these punks do in a year.

When athletes get into flame wars with angry football fans, they never win. Most of the hate probably isn't from Giants' fans. More likely people bitter that they wasted a roster spot on Cruz on their fantasy team.

doesn't turn into something really serious like a hangnail

None of this is Cruz' fault, he wants to be on the field.

he might have been overpaid this year
but his second year when he was amazing he was making vet minimum
so it all evens out

we have some special ones posting regularly right here

Nicks and Cruz are great examples of why I never criticize players for trying to maximize their income.

As a Giants fan how can you not? But after saying all that, if Cruz has a similar cap hit on our team next year as he has had this year and he doesn't produce, then, yeah fuck him and Jerry Reese. - BBI-

They are also both examples of why a team should think twice about giving out multi-year, high-priced contracts to any player. All contracts should have low guarantees, and be incentive-based, in my opinion. But I certainly understand why the NFLPA and their constituents don't want that.

And there was plenty of crap thrown at JPP. But as the former web editor at my magazine once said: "If you let people be assholes anonymously on the Internet, they will."

That's a good point as well. I think NFL players have it the worst relative to the other big four sports. I do think the NFL allows for the quickest 'price and value' discrepancy convergence, though (i.e., you seldom have guys underperforming their contracts for years and vice versa - at least to the degrees found in sports with guaranteed contracts and longer time frames until hitting free agency).

is 'ron mexico' led it off with a classic.

but Jimmy Traina has to be a class A douchebag. But I wouldn't know, since I have no idea who the clown is.

He worked his ass off and it still didn't work out.
I don't think he'll quit.
Stay strong bro, stay strong.
Suerte!

...but realistically the longer he's out the longer the odds become. I also won't blame the Giants when they pressure him into taking a paycut. The NFL is and always has been a pay for performance league and he hasn't contributed on the field for almost two years. Good Luck Victor.

He has Cruz in his fantasy acting league, that was funny.

C'mon Victor, they're Giant's fans, smartest fans in the NFL. Don't believe me, just ask them.

We'll be cruzin' next year babe.

Maybe you should start 5 threads on the subject.

I'm sure Cruz is really worried about your concerns.

if I were one of these guys. Pay a PR person, have them deal with it, then have something private for family and friends.

Why put yourself through that shit? Anonymity brings out the worst in mankind.

Cruz is basically inviting these comments by having a public Twitter and then doubling down by personally responding. I don't see why he isn't laughing it off and ignoring them. Some are truly funny...the fantasy acting league had me rolling.

Yeah personal attacks from losers hiding behind a keyboard are HILARIOUS!!

on the game threads. Social media is one half interesting and one half cesspool.

"You don't know me!!!"

lol

Vic should ignore assholes. It comes with the territory.

You are an asshole. Go away. You pollute the board with every idiotic thought that crosses your pea-brained head.

But i am sure he is more upset about it. If geremy davis hot hurt (god forbid), no one would really care. With cruz, he is more of an impact player and fans are just frustrated that he isn't playing. I hope he comes back and him and Odell become a problem in this league.

has been posted here especially this:

Quote:

“What a waste! Paid big $$$ to do squat this season. He, Beason and Beatty all should be cut after the season

And the people saying it here defend that line of thinking because they are "fans" and are entitled to say that if they wish.

Sure he is injured right now and I would bet he wishes otherwise. But we cannot ignore that if you are going to make the money he is making you are going to have to produce. I would guess at a restructure next year even if he is 100% healthy. It all depends on what they do with Randle and now ironically, Nicks. If Nicks shows anything in the last 6 games it will make the offseason real interesting in regards to the WR position.

...should be called social flogging.

He plays pro football and gets hurt, what a pussy.

on many occasions. Cruz is doing everything he can, works hard, is a good guy on and off the field. he is one the easiest player to root for ever. local kid, undrafted, team guy, never caused locker room issues that we know of. he should not be treated like that by any fan of the giants, it's not his fault.

Any relation to Pat? It's not like Victor did this intentionally and it's not like he didn't work his ass off to try and make it back. That comment about Fantasy acting league is pure asshole. Who is he?

Say that to his face.

lawsuit against the Giants for pushing him back on the field too quickly. My wife goes to the same gym as his trainer, and he happened to mention that for what it's worth.

is tne worst

should be above that stuff.....why bother..it's stupid.

Are part of the game. Fans are idiots if they believe otherwise and get on a player for getting hurt. Victor Cruz and a great Giant who won us a Super Bowl. Without him we had no chance of getting there. He is a class act and best of luck in his return to the game even if it is not with the Giants.

he has been on the field.....or even practiced that much.
Plus..he has a big contract and hasn't played in over a year. Not buying the lawsuit stuff.

I hate to say it but these tragedies are working to our favor

all these overpaid "Stars" are going to have to accept JPP money or sit on the couch forever


He gets 900K per tackle....

we all envisioned a 2011 Cruz out there with OBj and Randle.....that fantasy never happened....and with what has happened the last 3 seasons, I don't know how you can keep him as a 10M cap hit next year.....he has to be restructured to a lower salary....

Ya to be honest there is Upside for the Giants in 2016. Cruz will have to restructure no doubt or be cut and fight for a roster spot in camp next year.

You've got Nicks, who knows what that means.

These banged up stars, maybe whats happening with these folks is they are more backups now... they will have to be priced that way at some point, Beason's and Beatty's are not going to happen for the Giants... which may mean Prince is a goner.
