Eli can still play but...

Alwaysblue22 : 12/10/2017 4:18 pm
It is time to look at Webb to prepare for the draft.If Eli is unhappy he can go cry to his daddy. The new GM can decide who will be the starter next year. But we need to find out if drafting another QB is necessary when we have other more pressing needs. I think if we address the other needs Eli can still start and win. But he needs to understand that he is not being benched. He is being asked to allow Webb to get game reps for the good of the team. Eli will still be considered the probable starter next season. I think we need Barkley or another Lineman worse than we need another QB. But if Webb looks awful in the last three games we need to consider another QB. There is no question that injuries have affected the offense.. but a running back like Barkley (who can also catch the ball) can make a big difference even with the line we have now. I like Gallman but he should be the replacement for Vereen who is now TOO SLOW and be cut .Gallman is too small and not strong enough to be our main RB weapon. Look what Kamara does for the saints.. this is what we need unless Webb looks like shit.Then we need to look at a QB. WE should also prioritize and focus om a guard and tackle, after taking a guy like Barkley.

Agreed!! But you had all the out of the woodwork Eli Lovers last week flood Mara with their letters crying like babies making crazy threats. So Mara placates these people by stalling the franchise and not moving forward.
MS what a ignorant comment.

Eli deserves a respect. Keep in mind he is surrounded by what? Crap.
How many 81 yard runs did our receivers break off today? Receivers, running backs a line suck.
But I I’m all in on Mayfield. Like to see him watch Eli for about 6 to 10 games. Guys going to win.

eli can still play

like crap
Do you think Webb, or a rookie qb, is the answer? Playing behind this  
SterlingArcher : 12/10/2017 4:37 pm : link
crap oline would doom a young qb. You know as soon as he threw his first INT you would be calling him a bust. Until the Giants fix their oline you can not play a young qb.

yes you can....you can tell how he handles the offense, how he carries himself, how he reads defenses, how he makes adjustments, how he delivers the football, how he handles the adversity, how he understands the concepts, etc. there is PLENTY to evaluate. you make it sound like he would just drop back and get sacked every play. the OL is bad but not THAT bad...
Webb should be playing  
UberAlias : 12/10/2017 4:40 pm : link
That was the plan but then they benched Eli and fans revolted and media ripped the team a new ass. So they gave up on evaluating players and we’re all in on winning meaningless games. So moronic fans got their way.

At least Webb gives something to watch. At best maybe we squeak out an ugly win with Eli that wont restore a shred of confidence and may blow chances at franchise QB. Thanks to bitchy fans, were all in on making that happen.
Eli would be helped like Drew Brees is helped  
Alwaysblue22 : 12/10/2017 4:45 pm : link
By a RB like Alvin Karmara. But as I said we need to see what Webb is capable of. Eli can help in this evaluation process. If Webb does not look capable than we should take a QB.... and I agree that, in that event, it should be Mayfield.. then focus on the running game.. including a RB like a Nick Chubb ( because Barkley will be gone) and then on the OT and Guard positions. Focus on pass rushers at the back end... I think that OV and JPP are no longer what they once were. Seems like JPP is having a problem with his hand again. But I think overall that the Defense has gotten frustrated by all of the three and outs and they fade in the fourth quarter of games being on the field too long. The absence of OBJ has been evident. But he was only masking over our inability to effectively convert third downs by running the football or having a safety outlet like an Alvin Kamara type back.
Nobody  
AcidTest : 12/10/2017 5:24 pm : link
can play with this offense. Webb is also a rookie from a spread offense. The most that could be justified is playing him in blow outs, and even that might be a bad idea.

I really appreciate how some of you guys have traveled around the country to watch Mayfield play, put in countless hours analyzing tape, have worked him out and provided thorough analysis of his performance, and had a chance to do to due diligence with NFL talent and QB evaluators, research on his football intelligence, character, and other intangibles and have come to the conclusion he's worth the #2 pick. Great job.
We learned again

what we should have known before Eli made his inglorious return. Love the guy, but he's done as a Giant. Every minute he plays (including the last 60) is wasted. Also, Spags should be nowhere near the HC job. Let's hope Mara is ready to embrace the change.
The only reason why Eli is the starter for  
EricJ : 12/11/2017 8:52 am : link
the remainder of the year is because of the huge backlash from the fans. If there was not as much outrage over the benching, we would be seeing Webb.

Right now, other than making sure the feelings of the fans and Eli are not hurt, there is no benefit to playing Eli the rest of the way.

Streak over (who gives a shit?)
Season over
Games dont matter
Risking injury to Eli
Unable to evaluate Webb if we play Eli
People are nuts.  
Bill L : 12/11/2017 9:14 am : link
They definitely need to groom a new QB, but Webb is dead man walking on this team. You can play him every minute of every remaining game and eh would still be dead man walking. At best, you wold be hoping someone would see enough to let you recoup close to last year's pick, but I think you would still have to take somewhat of a loss.
