I'd rather a rookie over an older QB who couldn't win with OBJ, Brandon Marshall, Sterling Shepard and Evan Ingram. Manning is 2-9 this year. Besides, he just got benched for Geno Smith 3 of the 4 mentioned aren't playing 13 hours ago, Just Jack said: He has beaten the Pats* twice when it mattered.

SoCal Deek Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I caught a little bit of the chatter on NFL Network and I have to say I was shocked that they didn't mention the Bills as a landing spot. Considering he'd have Clay, Benjamin, Mathews and a young Zay to throw to on a team that may finish just one game out of the playoffs Buffalo would seem a very logical choice. (And it's hard for me to believe that with list of receivers that TT can't find a way to do more with them down the stretch. I know Brady would love to have them!)

If he was 7 years younger, then yes. I still contend that overall, his body of work really hasn't been elite, but he sure did perform well when it mattered most.

Might be, or maybe macadoo calls too many screens while the Giants have the worst rb's year in and out ? I'm in on both if they were options.

Livinginthepast Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) First of all, the coach will be fired before Eli will be cut. You cant just cut a 2X SB winner. He has earned tenure there with the ownership. Second if Eli was cut why in the hell would he come here? He has earned millions. Why would he put his body on the line with this porous oline. If he was cut and he did want to keep playing (which is debatable) he would be extremely careful to choose a team with a Oline that would give him time to succeed. Not happening here soon.

ndirish1978 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Pie in the sky. The guy refused to play for the Chargers and forced a trade to the Giants. You think he's going to just sign for the Bills? He'd retire before signing with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the Bills are just a QB away from success like say the Jags? If so you do it in a NY minute. If not you stay as far away from that turn over machine known as Eli.

Mat68 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 A year or 2 of Manning while a rookie develops would be the best QB situation since they wasted Bledsoe and Losman. maybe catch lightening in a bottle like Arizona with Warner or Manning in Denver. I could think of alot worst this to do at Qb. They would have the cap space to bring him in and fix the front 7. Draft a Qb to develop behind him and set up the Franchise for a continued winning formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're taking so much heat from the NY and national media over benching him that they simply wouldn't dare even if he was causing problems on the team, which, of course, he's not because that's not how the Mannings roll, especially Eli who probably bleeds Giants blue. This is just another crappy HC looking for a scapegoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Getting a 37-year-old QB at this stage of "the process," would be silly. We're not a QB away. We're a QB and about 50 other roster spots away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Eli would not sign in Buffalo. He has a no trade clause, if cut the Bills would not be in the bidding. imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He walked away from a franchise that was owned by a demented old man with no succession plan in place and he took the money that he was entitled to. Plus .. he was the last coach to lead the Bills to a winning season. Lay off the pernil. Now THAT made me laugh out loud, no joke!!!! Nice one!!

Luka Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I think the best story would be Eli winning a Super Bowl for the Broncos. Probably wouldn't hear of that ever again, two brothers winning a Super Bowl for the same team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
