Some weird ass curse at work here.

He also had a cushy, lucrative career in RC racing to fall back on
the irony is that

if Nicks stays healthy we don't need a WR in 2014 and could spend that pick on Zach Martin or Aaron Donald.
Injury. Injury. Injury.

Crazy.

Can't build a football team around that position.

And one who proved that some stars are too big for NY.

I don't think NY can handle superstar athletes with big personalities.

NY likes quiet superstars.

If you mean Eli helped make their careers .I agree!!

But not quite sure how Eli caused cartilage damage in Smith's knee, caused a DB to roll up on Nicks on a routine play, or caused Cruz knee to literally explode when he jumped... But hey maybe I'm not givimg Eli enough credit..

don't forget Hall of Famer

Yes very much so
Three if those guys matter as Giants  
Go Terps : 3/12/2019 11:04 pm : link
The other one is Beckham. The best thing he ever did for the team was be traded.

I will never understand a Giants “fan” hating Eli. He was MVP of 2 Super Bowls. All OBJ ever did for the team was drop a bunch of passes in the playoffs.
yet year after year we nail the WR picks  
Pan-handler : 3/12/2019 11:07 pm : link
Its crazy how we cycle thru them though.

I think we may pick up the next one in the draft. After my research and what Gettlemen tends to like My bet is Butler..Also can put people in the ground in the run game.

tbis may be the best placed comment on this board ever.

Well done. Lol
Yeah even if it was only a few years more each  
ChaChing : 3/13/2019 12:40 am : link
I expected more longevity across the board

One thing I noticed (and may be obvious to others), we seemed to treat the WR position differently from 2007. Be it a change in priority, evaluation, coaching or just luck I don't know. But prior to 2007, Homer Jones was the last probowl WR and Toomer was easily among the greatest by the numbers. No doubt there were some we loved in between, but few were either high production or even just consistent between mediocrity if not injury

Then Plax as an FA, Smith, Nicks, OBJ, even finding Cruz, or Shep...very sudden, drastic change in a very short time
