I appreciate Eli, but shit I am tired of the "get him x position and see what happens" sentiments. That's fine if you're still holding out hope, but at this point it's painful to watch.
But it still is a bummer. Oh well. Trot Eli out there for one last painful season on his resume.
I can't think of an offseason in the last decade that has began so brutally.
This nails it.
As far as, 'let's see what happens', we've said that for 7 straight years now and are 20 games under .500 in this time period with Eli now older than he was in the previous seasons, and with less offensive weapons than ever. Imagine being that lost to say, 'lets see what happens.' But hey, one more sub .500 year is fine by me. Just sucks for Eli himself and his career record. But, oh well. No sympathy from me in the least.
C'mon bw.... with the way Lauletta shit the bed last year, this was preordained.
Why though? Why did anyone think that the Giants scouting department was going to buck the trend and somehow find a viable starting QB in the 4th round?
I do think we can rebuild rather quickly, but I don't believe anymore that it will involve Eli. It made a little more sense when we had Odell, now it doesn't make much sense at all.
Get him a RT and a decent WR and lets see what happens
Good.. hahahahaa a RT and a decent WR let’s see what happens? They just traded the best WR in the game and there were 11 offensive lines that ranked worse then the giants and two of them were playoff teams that won more then 10 games when is this washed up QB ever to blame?
Lauletta stunk and was a wasted pick. Tanney is a hambone. We have only one legit starting qb under contract. Bitch all you want; until we get a #1 pick in here or someone else's failed #1 to rehabilitate, there are no alternatives.

Yeah, handing off to Barkley 400X is going to require some serious, seasoned QB skills... ;)
get pummeled, lose games, and generally be disrespected by the rest of the football world. Technically he still is “a legitimate starting QB” but he’s among the lower tier and is so damn expensive. If we are tearing the band-aid off finally, and rebuilding, Eli doesn’t need to be the starting QB for that. Just my opinion.
I still doubt that would happen, though. Giants tend to give management all the opportunities in the world to succeed. Mara would at least want to see them with a new QB before canning them.

Then we should see that in 2019. If you're paying Eli, you're doing it to win. Otherwise it makes zero sense.
You think this team will actually go 6-10? Except for the Miami game we might be underdogs in almost every game next year. I don't know if any other team have a worse roster. Maybe it will look much better after the draft?
Right now the don't have another QB, not even a decent backup. Maybe the draft/sign/trade for one, maybe they don't. Even DG can't be sure at this point.

I don't think a single person on this site is truly surprised.
More like disappointed the Giants might not wait out a few days and see if a Fitzpatrick, McCown, or Taylor is available at a significant saving to baby sit this obvious tear down.

If this team were well coached I'd feel fine going into the season. It hasn't been, though.

If it’s an obvious tear down, then it doesn’t matter if Eli is still here or not. His salary is not preventing them from signing some mythical major free agent, so all of this drama is for nothing. Whether they draft a guy this year or next, it doesn’t matter in the end if the let him finish out 2019 or drop him tomorrow. So just let him finish 2019 if he wants to. Those 2 Super Bowls earns him that. This organization failed him over and over with their bungling of the OL for years. If he wants to be here for another year, let him be here.

Keaton you will need it for any QB. Let him play and grab the future next year

Absolutely Montana.
Nothing would make me happier. I just don’t see it happening.
"Let's see what happens," couldn't sum up the vision for this team any better.
C'mon bw.... with the way Lauletta shit the bed last year, this was preordained.
Don't worry, we'll be good again soon and you can pull your Houdini act...

I know I was swimming against the current.
Serious question - how did Eli look his first time in for a real game?

Because you can bet with this roster they're not breaking .500.
Nothing. There are one other qb with multiple SB wins who is not in the HOF: Jim Plunkett and Manning had a much better career. Manning is a lock
I used to think you were right, but I'm not so sure - we'll see, I guess.

He's clearly the bridge from putrid to the future.
Along the way he's just taking a beating on the ride of this understandably slow rebuild.
And when it's all ready, he's either getting dumped or literally hurt.
I don't agree with it but I suspect they would use that fact to keep him out.

Hey, that's business. And life, too, in some ways.

I really doubt that. He was there for the glory years...

This is my feeling as well. The RT will probably be the pick at 17 or 37 and the WR will be a 3rd or 4th rounder. Hopefully they get a WR with size.

And yet Manning gets to get his legacy and his body batted around in the lean years.
But hey maybe the incomparible Corey Coleman and Jawill Davis will step right up and not get cut or hurt a knee dancing.
What doNJ ypu think? If do..13-3 sb championship? Or nothing less than a run in playoffs? Sjould be exciting to watch
