You have fun with that, junior. Time to grow up.


I haven't found 1 source that can remotely confirm that OBJ sat himself or could have played in those last few games.

If it's the shit you hear on the radio spewed from Boomer and what not, WFAN has a partnership with the Giants.

I used to help setup the damn stage for Mike Francessa when he setup his Sunday show at the stadium.

You really think WFAN isn't going to have a pretty clear bias, so they don't mess up their relationship with the organization?

Eli hasn't outplayed much of anyone over the past 7 seasons, especially the last few. Big part of the reason we are where we are.

Enjoy yet another sub .500 record this season, and a CAREER sub .500 record for Eli Manning. LMAO.

Doesn't excuse how LT was often let off the hook, but he had Parcells and others to help manage things.

And, LT never sat out a football game to try and make a selfish point.



LT failed drug tests in 1987. He still played for the Giants for many years after that.

What exactly has OBJ done that is remotely close to that?


What exactly has Beckham done that's remotely close to what LT did on the field?

Beckham's legacy here is a boat trip and generally just being a bitch. If you couldn't see that coming that's on you.

After a horrific past 7 years, I have ZERO sympathy for the Giants or Eli Manning anymore. Still a Giants fan, watch all of the games, but I no longer sympathize with a team tha makes the same mistakes year after year. If a player can get out of this mess and go to a better team in their prime, good for them. I;m not going to be a homer and suck the teet of every move this franchise makes and pretend it's a great move like you and a certain few others.

What would Eli's career passer rating be if they never drafted Beckham? Worse than 47th all time?

Eli would've been gone a while ago without Odell. Reese was allowed to stick around as long as he did because of Odell. McAdoo only got the job because of what Odell did for the offense. Considering that ownership had begun to force changes to his coaching staff, Coughlin probably would've been gone a year earlier without the improvement in the offense that was clearly all about Odell.

There's no debate here. You're emotional.
He practiced, then sat out games. It was an obvious show of power IMHO. I would have liked more but I accept we got as much could while shipping him to the AFC. We were calling, teams knew we wanted to sell. DG did well. I suspect when he has his first big TD game in Cleveland he is going to say something borderline if not outright critical of Eli...The truth will leak then. Shit, it may start sooner. I have suspicions there is a lot of shit people want to air.

By the fifth year of his career Eli had already won a Super Bowl MVP, and made a miracle play to beat the undefeated Pats to get this franchise its third ring.

After the fifth year of his career Beckham got run out of town because they couldn't stand him anymore.

Don't compare Beckham to Eli, LT, or any other great Giant. He isn't remotely in their class.

You are smarter than the argument you are trying to make here. It implies that Eli and LT individually were the sole reason for our SB victories. They had a fully-built teams with great help, the likes of which Odell never had.

Eli and LT were not the sole reason for SB victories, but they were a damn big reason.

Beckham was on one team that had a chance to do something, and he had a huge hand on the field and off it in fucking that game up.

If your case for a player's excellence is based on a rationalization, it isn't a great case. The guy had three great statistical seasons as a Giant, two of which were terrible team seasons...and we're going to compare him to Eli and LT? Get the fuck out of here.

It absolutely was a mistake. How'd it work out? How have these last five years been for the Giants? It's not all on him, but part of it sure is. The guy is a losing player that was part of a toxic locker room over that period of time. Yeah, it was a mistake.

great player, generational talent. one of best talents to ever play for Giants. If the issues with him and coaching staff compelled them to trade him, I'm okay with it but I'm not delusional or dishosent about how good a player he was.
