I would think anyone associated with football would know replacing Manning with Geno Smith is a dumb move..... My line of thinking is a comparison to an NHL goaltender. In almost every conceivable way, the starter will be better and you would never bench him for a half rate bottom feeder, who is currently riding the bench. Not all backups are terrible, but some are. Replacing any QB named Manning with any QB named Smith does not sound like a good idea initially, but when you look at the specific reason that a change may occur, a Smith may get put in. Not a dumb move in some cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I for one, was totally behind the benching of Tyrod, regardless of who was 2nd string. When a guy needs to be pulled, so be it. I haven’t paid much attention to the Giants other than hating on Odell any chance I get. Eli over Geno every time.......unless Eli needs to be benched, like some starters occasionally do. Was the benching warranted? At least to me benching Eli wasn't the worst of it. It was replacing him with Geno when they had a young QB they could have taken a hard look at in live action. We know what Geno is. If a move was made with an eye to the future in a lost season...that I could have been ok with. Starting Geno over Webb at that point is about the dumbest move he could have made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't going anywhere with Manning (I guess they felt at the time) so they wanted to see what they had in Davis and Smith. Davis, I can understand since he was drafted just the year before. Never understood playing Smith.... Thank you for clearing that up, I appreciate it. In that instance, you might as well try the Smiths and Petermans of the world. I understand the Bills were in the playoff race, unlike when the Giants decided to try, but Tyrod had to be given a message and the team had to try something else. 4 minutes ago, No Place To Hyde said: At least to me benching Eli wasn't the worst of it.

Mr. WEO Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Heitz posted this already in the Allen/Rosen thread. The funniest part of this article is that Mcadoo was "ranking" QB prospects at all. WhY??

SoCal Deek Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I always like McAdoo when be played for the Buffalo Braves! If it turns out he likes our QB...that's fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I recall during the draft Phil Simms was gushing over the Allen pick. Said he is the best QB in the draft. So that's another big name sticking his reputation as an NFL evaluator on Josh Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My assumption was that he was ranking them because he's a "football guy" and only posted because it fell in the category of "Bills stuff".

GunnerBill Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 McAdoo is useless. His reputation came from working with Rodgers. I could call plays for Aaron Rodgers and look like a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I am worried Baker Mayfield is the exact same size as me. And I physically have no business being in the NFL. I think he is going to have a very hard time finishing seasons. They are also going to have to design a very Drew Brees playbook for him to get him from out behind all of the six four and six five offensive linemen in front of him. It works in college, but it seldom works in the NFL. Granted there are few exceptions, but Flutie couldn't even get that kind of love. 34 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: Heitz posted this already in the Allen/Rosen thread.

I'm a firm believer in the Peter Principle. Granted, the man didn't have much success as the Giants head coach, but he has the League's respect as a talent evaluator of quarterbacks and an offense of coordinator. Or he wouldn't have got a head coaching job to begin with. Now that he's put his list out, it'll be interesting to see how accurate he is at the end of the year.
