Hey ODELL,

Go post on the Brown's board...you are on Cleveland's team now.

Your act is getting tiring.

Your posts are like your "peeing" on the field at the Linc... embarrassing.

That is flat out false. It's not close to being true. Here's what is true. Odell was not nearly as liked as you think



Nonsense. That is why there were tons of articles reporting Eli was losing the locker room and just about none saying how great the giants locker room was under Eli in 2018.

I’m not trying to start something - but who are those NFL people? Are any of them not associated with the Giants? Because I have yet to see any give that opinion.

That’s fine. But no one I’ve seen - media or otherwise - believes he can play. The only people who say he can seem to be from our front office or fans of the team. I know it’s easy to dismiss everyone from the media as incompetent, wanting clicks, etc., but at some point isn’t it possible that the narrative around the league that the guy can’t play? Lombardi thrashed Eli on Traina’s podcast. What is his motive for doing so? Adam Schein - same thing. I could name dozens of others. At some point, isn’t it possible that they are correct, not incompetent?

Here is what I learned about media personnel. They are only relevant if people listen to them, click their articles, or subscribe to them. Many of the football fans in America are pretty clueless when it comes to the game. Which is no one's fault. I mean they dont understand the little things of the game. So, thats their target audience. So when they need to beh eard, who better to go at then high named players? If they were to come out and say Eli was still capable of winning - do you think people would read or listen to them? Look at OBJ while he was here. If there was a ratio of postiive to negative articles - which one comes out on top?

When they say its all about clicks, in reality - it really is.
This trade is a bad idea - but not a crazy idea.  
81_Great_Dane : 4/15/2019 2:21 pm : link
It's a bad idea because if you acquire Wilson and have to play him $30M, you will need some good, young, cost-controlled players – exactly the kind of players you'd hope to get with those picks. Without them, you'd likely end up clawing to get to mediocrity. I'm reminded of the Fran Tarkenton Giants teams — and that was pre-salary cap.

It's not a crazy idea because draft picks have a high bust rate, for every team and every GM. Trading four rolls of the dice for a proven, elite QB isn't crazy.

It makes MUCH more sense to trade a package of picks like that to draft a QB — because then the QB you draft is cost-controlled. If you get a cost-controlled, elite QB, you are set up for success.
A temporary fix...

Bill L : 4/15/2019 2:36 pm : link
And there’s no way in hell that Wilson would turn us into a contender with essentially the same offense but even worse defense this year (no draft at all to help the D).

Now, after plugging holes in 2019, I do make that trade (next year’s equivalent). But not for Wilson. For Fromm or Tua.
A quick google search would reveal that

Romo, Favre, Namath, Baldinger and a bunch more people all have stated within the last year they believe Eli can still play well.

Wilson's a nifty player  
idiotsavant : 4/15/2019 3:21 pm : link
But that's not a good trade

I would give the 2020 Rd 1 pick, and that's all, for Rosen or Wilson.

I love the Wilson style of play, but he's old ish.

This is very obviously the front 7 draft.

This is interesting and something more feasible. You'd have to send Eli to Seattle, too, right?

Apparently, Wilson wants a contract that is locked in as a % of the cap, not specific dollars. So if the agreed to % is 20%, then as the cap goes up so goes Wilson's salary.

I think the continued use of "false narrative" is a bit inflammatory to the conversation. It's a point of view that the Giants (and you, obviously) clearly disagree with, certainly. But it's not as if there isn't some level of evidence to suggest that Eli absolutely is in decline, just like there is some level of evidence to suggest that he's still as good as he ever was.

On top of that, this whole "force-fed" nonsense is getting a little tiresome. There are plenty of people who are capable of thinking for themselves who question how much Eli has left in the tank. It's a bit ironic and very hypocritical to keep suggesting that these opinions are force-fed but that yours and yours alone is valid simply because the Giants (owners of that sparkling 8-24 record over the past two seasons) happen to share it.

We can sit here and debate how much of that is due to Eli himself and how much is due to the team surrounding him, but this repetition of "false narrative" is a bit much at this point (along with the "you anti-Eli people" which can get filed away with every other "you people" type of opinion). It's not a false narrative. It's an unanswered question.

To clarify and I know you understood this.. I'll take Eli and...and 4 stud draft picks over russel wilson and a 5 year 170 million dollar obligation.. So Eli, lets say Oliver, Ferrell, taylor rapp and Julian Love over Russel wilson. Hell yes.

fine.. but you can't win anything with that and you are a year deeper into qb limbo. Eli is awful at this stage of his career.
no way would they trade two firsts and two seconds for Russell Wilson  
Vanzetti : 4/15/2019 4:08 pm : link
He is good but not elite like Brady and Brees. He is also wrong side of 30, which is amplified because he relies on athleticism a lot more than the average QB.

Of course he is worth it. He is a Brees-level talent. You will see in ten years time you will view him as a can't miss hall of famer. It is probably not the right move for the Giants at this time but that is his value, rest assured.

I think you and I kicked this around last week. Or maybe it was another poster...

But this narrative that Eli is the innocent bystander through all of this QB controversy is total bullsh-t. When the benching occurred, it was clear to be that Team Manning mobilized to control the messaging; and sent Eli out to the cameras weeping for support...

Since he isn’t as good as Brady or Rodgers, who I consider the only 2 elite QBs in the league.... Russell Wilson is a tier below.

If those are your standards, then sure. I think that's a little too exclusive, but that's just my opinion - nothing wrong with you choosing to be more selective with the "elite" tag.

Wilson's career compares very favorably to Brady's career at the same age. Rodgers is probably ahead. This is much closer than you think. Brady was a system QB until the 16-0 season.

Yes I do. I actually teach a class about the media’s influence on society and how the public specifically click on specific topics. And I believe a lot of the media did the same to OBJ as well.

When there’s a topic people click on and read, you stick with it.
so in your opinion

Articles that are critical of Eli Manning -- or merely articles that reference a potential decline in his skills as they discuss the state of the Giants -- are simply written to generate clicks?
