The defense was the glaring problem. Eli is a major part of the problem. What a weird way to defend him. Our team is a disaster on both sides of the ball.

You can say it looked good but still concede we need to move on from Eli which is something you can’t even admit. He pretty solid in the second half of the year. That’s not defending him, that’s fact . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be so much better on offense than solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be so much better on offense than solid. I said Eli was solid. The offense as a whole looked pretty darn good in the second half of the year and without its best player for the last 4 games. Look at the numbers in after the bye and tell me that’s a disaster? That’s a positive and it should only get better which is very encouraging. Defense is a disaster though. Me complimenting the offense is not me saying we shouldn’t seek improvement. I mean the year we went 11-5 to reach playoffs were we not a disaster even though our offense was pathetic and our defense was great? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 You should go after Teddy. Then I'd have two reasons to cheer for the Giants - Kate Mara and Teddy Bridgewater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line is the Giants roster is terrible, and Eli isn’t pushing them over the top. Use his cap space to help fix the team. Worst case scenario we are in the same place. Best case, we actually improve the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minutemancl Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Defenses don't win championships anymore- look at the 4 remaining teams. They are the top 4 scoring offenses in the league. More importantly, look at their OLs. There are the 3 best OL in the NFL this year and the Chiefs, who are pretty damn good as well. The defense overall needs a ton of help, but if Gettleman decides the best course of action based on who is realistically available in the draft and FA is to stay with Eli but solidify the OL, I'm ok with that.

Use his money to improve. I think this is easier said than done. I know Foles will command more than Eli is making this year. I think Bridgewater might end up being close to that as well. Flacco is going to get a lot of money as well, and I wouldn't want him anyway. I think our only options if we want to move on from Eli efficiently (little to no drop off in talent while saving money) is either drafting someone in the first or 2nd round or signing Case Keenum, assuming he is done in DEN. EDIT: I still think we should sign Luis Perez from the AAF and trade for Kyle Sloter from MIN. Let Shurmur work his magic with 2 incredibly talented, young, but inexperienced QBs. Keep Eli on the roster as a veteran presence until one stands out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Eli on the roster as a veteran presence until one stands out. Eli has a cap number of 23M. 10th highest in the NFL for a QB. Cutting him gives us 17M with 6M dead cap. A fair amount, but sadly Eli's play hasn't elevated our team. We been garbage for 5 years excluding one. There is no way Teddy should make that much money, but QBs do crazy things. We must use his space to fix the team. Draft a QB somewhere, sign a cheap veteran and play for 2020. It can't be any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
