Geno time

EJJ : 9/19/2017 6:53 am
No disrespect to all the Eli supporters, but Eli's done. He can't get it done that's the bottom line. A change is needed IMHO. I'm not a Gino lover in any shape or form but at least he's mobile.
I'll give

Geno one thing: he's mobile. And any QB behind this OL needs to be.

That said, it's not happening.
Second time in the last three posts

Someone has suggested this nonsense. Geno Smith. Yup, that's the solution.
Boy I have thought of it but it will never happen unless Eli get's

hurt. The Captain will go down with the ship. It would show desperation and Ben certainly isn't up to that especially with every game Eli plays he's setting or going for a record. Of course this year it could be number of sacks or picks.
Did you actually utilize your brain

You think THIS is a shit show?

Bring in Geno and THEN you've REALLY got something.

Holy crap.

Don't know. 0-2 is 0-2. Pretty sure Geno could lose us these next two games just as easily as Eli.
You and I must have been watching different games last night  
bigblue1124 : 9/19/2017 7:17 am : link
If you feel the current issues are on him. I don’t believe any QB in the league can be successful playing behind this O-line in it’s current state.

And in addition the one knock I had on Eli going into this games was he left a lot of plays on the field playing scared. He did not do that last night he took hits to extend the plays and damn near got his head taken off.
Last night when the quarterback had time,  
Beezer : 9/19/2017 7:18 am : link
things were not lost.

And Eli (or any quarterback) can't do much about WRs running 3rd and 4th down routes a yard or two shy of the first-down marker.

Tank the season
it's not a crazy idea  
Loluchka80 : 9/19/2017 8:14 am : link
the defense is very good, but with an offense going 3 and out constantly you can't win. at least geno can avoid a few sacks and run for a couple first downs. obviously eli is the better QB, but with this shoddy offense he might be the better option. just don't let him throw it more than 15-20 times per game.
Eli is part of the peoblem  
joeinpa : 9/19/2017 8:15 am : link
That interception was a very bad play

But Geno is not the solution.
It may be Geno time  
Jeever : 9/19/2017 9:14 am : link
If we go into complete tank mode. Hey it's worked for the 76'ers. Time to start lining up those early draft picks.

I don't know why we stay with Marshall. Engram serves the same purpose and he's really not a tight end. We should split him out wide and move him in the backfield.

If,and only if, the Giants go into a complete tank mode,Webb would be the QB. I'm not so sure McAdoo wouldn't welcome this scenario.Eli's not HIS QB & the fast forwarding development of Webb into McAdoo's offense doesn't seem far fetched if the season goes in the tank!

This. It's ridiculous. Get beyond the yardsticks.

Les in TO : 9/19/2017 9:22 am : link
will probably only come in if eli gets injured or if it's a blowout. the way things are going, both are likely, perhaps even in the lions den that is the Linc.

Geno is a better fit for this offense  
WideRight : 9/19/2017 10:09 am : link
He's more mobile, and either equal or better in acuracy on short throws. Both are prone to interceptions. Eli is far better at the long throws, but this line doesn't permit them.

Since the Giants aren't likely to win much more with Geno, the circus of benching Eli, probably isn't worth it.

But those who think Geno doesn't have something to offer aren't being honest about Eli's current level of production.
This is rediculous. Anyone watching that game could see the crap  
PatersonPlank : 9/19/2017 10:10 am : link
line is the issue. Geno will just throw more picks, that will be his contribution
Totally Agree!  
Section131 : 9/19/2017 10:21 am : link
How can it be more of a shit show than it is now? Geno can move outside the pocket and make more plays than Eli, it's that simple. As for throwing more INTs, people have short term memories with Eli. That pick to Engram was atrocious and Eli's had plenty of 3 and 4 INT days. He need the perfect O-Line to be good and we don't have that. Time to see what Geno's got.
If we bring in someone else its Webb, who has a chance to be the

future. Geno shouldn't even be on the team.
You dumb m'effers...  
Britt in VA : 9/19/2017 10:24 am : link
are not going to be satisfied until you run the greatest QB in the history of this franchise out of town.

You already did it to our HOF coach. How's that working out?
The solution  
WideRight : 9/19/2017 10:33 am : link
is for McAdoo to change his gameplan to suit his personnel.

how many other teams offered our HOF coach a head coaching job after he was fired? the time was right for coughlin to go, and soon, the time will be right for eli to move on. he's at the age where most QBs start to decline due to both the physical and mental toll of a tough game.

Holy shite...another brainless wonder...

Andrew in Austin : 9/19/2017 1:49 pm : link
I felt Eli delivered the ball in the 2nd half. Wasn't he also 6/6 on the TD drive?

At any rate, I do think you will get your wish as I don't know how Eli stays uninjured with this OL play. I was wincing every time Eli was getting drilled into the ground.
I don't think anyone - including Geno  
gidiefor : Mod : 9/19/2017 1:55 pm : link
could have thrown the ball right in stride to MArshall for a touchdown -- any better than Eli did last night

unless he dropped it because Eli threw it?

That was painful.
I want to keep Eli's game starting streak going  
xman : 9/19/2017 1:57 pm : link
at any cost. He wants to play 4 more years too so the streak has a way to go. We owe it to him

You don't think that had to do more with his age? Far less coaches have gotten jobs after being fired.
Geno may be more mobile than Eli,  
Section331 : 9/19/2017 3:11 pm : link
but have you seen him under pressure before? He is absolutely brutal.

And if you watch the replay of Eli's INT last night, it wasn't that bad a throw, basically came in at Engram's head, but he tried to one-hand it. Either way, Geno is only the answer if the question is, "Do we want to suck more?"

whether it was his age, decision making or slow adaptability to the new CBA rules, if he still "had it" I'm sure another team would have hired him as a coach. indeed, he did get a few first interviews but no bites.
