Since Rodgers is now "embattled," (OK, taking liberties for the sake of conversation), what would you be willing to have the Giants give up for him?
Picks? Players? Cash? Hell no, you'd never do it because _______________ (fill in the blank)? Too old?
It's Monday.
Do not want.
That's why I'd think it would HAVE to be picks. Maybe new coach, thoughts of a minor rebuild, their QB is 35 ...
He's going to take up a huge section of my salary cap. I'd need some assurances that he isn't in decline. He's taken a lot of abuse over the years.
Do not want.
You have got to be kidding ! You don't want the most talented QB of all time because you don't like his personality. Wow. You'd rather a guy that can't get out of his own way because of his "aww shucks" personality. Unreal.

Nope pass.
Will "Roughing the Passer" go back to what it used to be?
Hello Gruden!

Lol
I'm just saying...
If not for the epic Giant meltdown in 2010 vs. the Eagles which cost the Giants a playoff spot which then went to GB, Rodgers does not win a SB.
Would then likely turn out to be Dan Marino 2.0. Not bad company, but none of this "best QB ever" stuff.

If not, perhaps we can get that sterling character who QBs the Steelers.

And if David Tyree doesn't make one of the most impressive catches in NFL history, Eli Manning has no shot at the HoF. I obviously think Eli should have a serious shot at the HoF, but the way this board thinks about some of the greatest players to ever play at their positions is preposterous.
I wish people had some fucking clarity and evenhandedness about how they evaluate players.
That's sports fandom for ya.

Actually, I remember very well the circumstances that brought YAT to the Giants. Red Hickey was the new 49ers coach and he installed a 3 QB system of mobile QBs (Waters, Kilmer and I can’t recall the 3rd guy) who would alternate plays. YAT was NOT done by any means. He simply did NOT FIT into Hickey’s absurd QB schemes
I agree that we shouldn't deal for a 36 year old QB but is that a reason to trash him ?

I think it was Brodie
After 22 years you'd think I'd lurk more than post around here. Tough crowd.

Great stats, fewer rings...one less SB MVP.

And somehow you don't consider a basically trapped on all sides with some lineman pulling him back by his jersey that he escapes and does a 180 finds Tyree 40 yards down the field and manages to put the ball where only Tyree could
catch it in the middle of the field and yes Tyree makes a
miraculous catch decides if Eli is hall of fame worthy ..
I don't think so !

By that meausre then Eli is better than his brother.
Because, you know, it’s all on Rogers why they don’t have more. Nevermind the fact he hasnt had talent at ANY offensive skill position since that SB and his defenses have been attrocious. I would argue Green Bay hasnt done anything to help him and he’s the sole reason they were competitive in the first place
But not the one with the most rings.
(Sad trombone.)
