Manning 'Disappointed' Boss Chose Oakland

So, I hope that “welcoming” feeling lasts for your whole contract because he probably won’t be enjoying many “winning” feelings while wearing silver and black.

I feel so used by Boss….how dare him make me an instant fan when he grabbed that 45+ pass play in XLII! I can’t believe what he’s done to me!

 “In the end, Oakland was desperate having lost their starting TE and having no reliable receiving options, they were willing to overpay me to the tune of $4 mil a year for 4 years. Despite realizing I had a far better chance to win in NY, I know I’m one good head shot away from retirement and this was really my only chance to snag an 8 figure contract that if I take decent care of, should cover me for life.”

Apparently he blew up the Hynocerous pretty good, not bad for giving up 40 lbs.

awhhhh yeahhh!!

good thing to have mid-season

Biggest problem I have with Boss leaving isn’t the production. I’m sure we could match his offensive output with Beckum, and his blocking with Coats, Pascoe, and even Mitch Petrus. Problem is, we’d be telegraphing what we’d be doing on offense.

I did notice that one, but I declined to care because if he’s on our opening day roster, we’re not looking good at TE

But yeah, short with an average 40 time. Same reason as Greg Jones. I had both pegged as 3rd rounders, so I was real happy when we got both of ’em.

I can tell you that Iowa plays a pro-style defense. All of their players are very smart and good at reading offenses. What Sash lacks in athletic ability, he’ll make up in play recognition.

plays a pro-style defense and sends a lot of players to the NFL. Sash will fit in great here on defense and special teams. he’s a physical player and a vocal leader.

and if we need the TE to be a pure blocker, you put him in there. And if the other team stops the run too many times, hopefully the TE isn’t such a waste that you can playaction to him to keep them honest

This is to be expected with no offseason conditioning , especially for a rook. Hopefully it’s just a pull.

Woah…

He should learn how to do field goals too!

I know were getting rid of him, but he’s going to be good somewhere.

we don’t give up on this kid

There’s another man that who has been living off one play he made as a giant.

And i will love that man forever.

if you have him in there on run plays but never run to his side? It tells the defense that if they run they’re running weak side.

sometimes I get the feeling that regarding ELi’s leadership abilities, people have selective memory.

Also its not like Boss is Tony Gonzalez (same way that Plaxico Burress isn’t Hakeem Nicks). The Giants should not be overpaying for him.

How the hell does it look to the other TEs on this team if he lobbies for a guy then he doesn’t sign with us. Makes it look like Eli has no faith in the TEs they currently have. Instead he’s said MULTIPLE times he like to have Boss here, not because he’s better than Beckum, but because he’s a good friend, a good guy, a good player. When it didn’t work out, he left the window open to say that Beckum is a good player and will step up and contribute. That’s a true leader, instilling confidence in another guy. It makes me sick how so many Giants fans have to seek out a reason to openly bash Eli, oblivious to the surrounding facts. You don’t ever hear Peyton say, Oh I want this guy go get him, he let’s management do their thing, and supports whatever decision they make and whatever players he currently has on his team. Jesus give me a break, all you Eli bashers act like Eli should be the Quarterback and the GM, your blind hatred for our franchise quarterback is as two faced as you can get. Don’t root for the Giants saying you’re die hard, then bash our most important player, it shows a lack of confidence in your team, and makes you look like an unintellectual, fair weathered fan. Get over your childish, undeserving hatred of our quarterback. We all should be rooting for the entire team, every player, not calling for a guy’s head just because he didn’t voice his opinion that, quite frankly, wouldn’t have mattered worth a damn to management when it came to the decision of keeping Boss or not. It’s not like he actually had any say anyway, good grief.
