August 19, 200917 yr I wasn't trying to insult you at all. I was telling you what I thought while I watched the game...one time...I mean, i've got a career and a family...I can't break down film....twice of a preseason game...you obviously know much more about the Giants than me...and the entire MNF crew that thought the WR were bad...but hey, we will see how the season plays out. I'm nowhere near the Giants expert you are. I was just saying what I thought I saw while I watched the game. The MNF crew didn't say they were bad at all, they said someone needs to step up. And that someone isn't going to show a lot in the preseason. It's the preseason...most offenses and defenses are very vanilla. To say that they weren't running their routes well is insinuating that you specifically saw them doing this, and I simply asked for an example of it. I saw no bad route running, mostly because MNF doesn't show the routes the receivers run.

Couldn't tell you the specific play...like I said, I think their WR's are very avg at best and it will hurt them this year. Randon Question: Where do you rank Eli in terms of NFL QB's?

Manningham made one or two bad plays, but considering he's only in his 2nd year and he barely played last year, that is going to happen. He also made some very good plays. The Giants wide receivers were not out there consistently running bad routes like you implied though. I'd rank Eli in the top 10 QB's at least.

August 19, 200917 yr Author I don't want to highjack my own thread, but for the QB discussion - I think Brady, Peyton Manning and Warner are better QB's than Eli. Who else would you put up there? Brees? Rivers?

Rivers? You are right Wireman, I didn't want to hijack it. I was just curious where a true Giants fan would rank Eli. I've never been 100% sold on him, but he is a top tier NFL QB currently. I would say Brady, Peyton, Warner for certain...after that, I think they are pretty close. I'd probably go Ben, Brees, Rivers and then Eli. Those 4 are pretty interchangeable. McNabb??? I totally forgot him. Maybe we need a good NFL QB thread Wireman.

Rivers? Brady and Peyton are no brainers to put above Eli, because they have the super bowls and better numbers. Big Ben has more super bowls, so I'd put him slightly above Eli as well. Kurt Warner has been to a few and won a super bowl as well, and has great numbers so I'd put him above Eli right now too. Eli might be in my top 5...but I'm not sure. He's definitely in my top 10.

Eli hasn't had as good of numbers, but like Gruden said the other day, the stats don't mean anything. He plays every game (71 straight starts) and he wins. He's been to the playoffs every year and he's won a super bowl in 4 years as a starter. What more can you ask?

September 4, 200917 yr Author Andre Woodson might as well start looking for a new job. He didn't play last week and this week he is 2-10 with an INT so far.
