RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Eli will be available. And I want a shot at securing his rights while the rookie learns the ropes. maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate Rico myself but the Giants offence was so bad earlier in the year, he gave up his play calling duties. And McAdoo just seems like a sleezeball. I would not want that guy on the Bills coaching staff Things went sideways for him as a HC and in an attempt to salvage his job he needed to let loose of the playbook and attempt being an actual HC. He was promoted quickly because the success he had as an OC, he was so good at it that it got him a position he wasn't ready for. I have few doubts that he is better off as an OC and focused solely on that. It will be intresting to see where he lands. This move had to have been made by the GM/ownership. It's a look towards the future and it leaves the SB hero and HC out of the picture. I'm not sure why this move would reflect poorly on McAdoo, he is a dead man walking and a guy in his position isn't making this kind of decision.

Big Turk Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Lol....Eli hasnt been that guy for a few years now...long overdue in my opinion...but for Geno??? I dont get it...Smith is a turnover machine almost on par with Peterman.... Edited November 28, 2017 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think they would give the rookie Webb a shot first. But Geno? This is about as obvious as it gets. You can't blame Eli for that OL. you can't blame Eli for the crap they have @ RB, and you can't blame Eli for the injuries. Bet he ends up in Jax next year with Marrone and Coughlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bocephuz Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 according to Spotrac Eli's cap hit is ~$13 mil in 2018 and 2019 has an out clause. that is certainly affordable...i'd be up to trade Tyrod in for Eli as the place holder vet for next couple years. question is... what will NYG ask in trade for him? would they release him? I would not give up more than a 2nd for Eli personally and playing Geno first over Davis Webb is a dumb move. Davis Webb was my favorite qb prospect the year he was drafted.. I think he has solid potential.. way more than Geno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're done, you try and lose out instead of winning meaningless games at the end of the year. I'm anti-tank, but once a team is eliminated from playoff contention, I agree that there is no reason to play an aging QB to try to win meaningless games. Look how effective the Bills' mini-tank was last year: They moved up from the 15th to the 10th pick, just by losing one game. As it turned out, that was the difference between being able to pick one of the top 3 QBs and not. We certainly would not have had the same trade down opportunity sitting at 15.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Git 're done, McBeane! I have to say I have never seen a QB get as little help from his WR corps as Eli has been getting. IIRC they lead the league in drops. Perhaps Gene can throw 6 interceptions in the first half and take the heat off Peterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryPinC Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 "The Giants are 2-9 and currently have 19 players on injured reserve. " "Injuries have also hit the offensive line, where the Giants have started eight different combinations, second in the NFL behind Green Bay’s nine. Center Weston Richburg’s season ended after four games, and right guard D.J. Fluker was placed on I.R. yesterday. Ereck Flowers and John Jerry are the only two linemen to start every game, and, Flowers is the only one to start every game at the same position." That is an insane amount of injuries. I can understand not wanting to risk Manning to more wear and tear but most competitive players don't look at it like that. I get what McAdoo is thinking but if you truly want to evaluate your talent, either experienced QB with new OL or experienced OL with new QB. Injury has eliminated the experienced OL.
