Maybe he can help Eli dominate the regular season like Peyton does, just avoid Peytons Playoff plan!

“It’s the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there’s three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you’re down by three to New England and you haven’t taken a snap all year. Yeah, it’s a great job until that point.” – Jim Sorgi

but you don’t really learn until you play and for all practical purposes he has never played. He is not a credible backup in my opinion.

Let’s think about it this way. We are in a critical game and Eli goes down. Who in our group here would rather see Sorgi than a real quarterback like Brunnel manage the rest of the game? Sorgi is not any better than a third round draft pick would be.

No, I really don’t know what kind of player he is, but it probably doesn’t matter. If Eli suffers a significant injury the season is pretty much toast, anyway.

Pretty much our attittude over the last 6 years.

Sorgi is really great helping with preparation, I’ll say that much. I’m actually sorry to see him go, but I approve of the Giants. lol

How did this guy get season ending tendinitis after 10/25 (when he actually appeared in a game but did not throw a pass), after riding pine for 2 months and not throwing in any games? Does he practice THAT hard?

It took him 5 years to get those 156 attempts. He has practically zero experience in anything other than games that didn’t matter. A backup needs to be able to play the moment he gets in. There is no substitute for experience in this position.

Sorgi may turn out to be able to come off the sidelines and perform but he hasn’t done it yet. That’s the kind of gamble we shouldn’t have to take.

As long as hes the back up your manning will never get hurt and he will set consecutive game records

1. Run on first down.

2. Run on second down.

3. throw to Steve Smith.

And repeat…and pray that defense can win the game.

Free’s 2011 mock draft will have the Giants picking in the top 5.

this was more of a move to bring bomar up to speed quicker rather than a move to solidify a backup qb roster spot..

i liked carr actually. he showed some accuracy in his deep passes when he actually had time to pass with our oline vs houston’s… but Sorgi has been trained behind peyton.. and his knowledge is key to grooming bomar and also shows he could be a adequate option if needed when/if eli gets hurt

all agree we just hope Eli doesnt get hurt and we have the 32nd pick in the draft next year….and not because we traded down.

Now that would have been a nice back up QB pickup! Did the Giants sign a back up QB too soon?

But to echo sentiments, it won’t really matter anyway if Eli goes down.

he can hold a clipboard

I’m not sure how I feel about this move yet. I think it will be great for Eli manning to get a guy who loves to study and breakdown tape but I still believe we need a backup QB who can perform on the field. This is a downgrade from David Carr IMO. Perhaps they will groom Bomar to do the actual playing, if something should happen to Eli. It hasn’t been a boring past few days, that’s for sure!
