Did the Giants cut Collins to soon?

Manning, highly scrutinized, botches snaps

Looks like Eli has he work cut out for him!

Its to be expected, 1st practice and all. The New York media will eat him up for a while though. However I agree that geting rid of Collins was wrong. They need a vet to bring the kid along and now they have to go out and find one. I really see Warner going there, but who knows.

What are you expecting from the guys first practice. If he did well then we should all be pissing in our pants.

I hope he falls flat on his face.



Would any of you turn down the chance to be the #1 pick overall in the draft. I wish that I had the opportunity to play for any pro team. I don't give a sh*t who it is.

Sounds to me like some spoiled little brat that listened to all the hype too much. Maybe he shouldn't listen to big bro or daddy so much.

The word on Mannning is his brother became very close to Ryan Leaf when they were drafted at the same time. They talked a lot, and became friends. Ryan was surprised Peyton had a publicist and press person to handle his stuff for the Colts. Word is Leaf was treated with none of that in San Diego. Peyton tells Eli, and so the rest is history!

All I am saying is that I think that they cut Collins too soon...

I think they wanted to keep Collins but he was adamant on starting and after they got Manning he refused to restructure his contract. Granted they could have handled it better but I guess they felt they have other options at bringing in a veteran QB with championship experiece.

Actually I had alot of respect for Collins. He overcame some difficult times, and he took his team to the SB. I don't think the team's woes last season were on him, the OL was pitiful, worst that our OL performance last year. I am really concerned that he may end up w/the crybabies, which would be a huge upgrade!

Eli has a big fat target on his back for his stunt during the draft. Hopefully he learns he should be content for making it to the pros. It's a privilidge, not a right.

Eli's target is square on his shoulder pads and Lavar will launch himself right into that bullseye. But I do think Eli will be a great QB in the NFL.
