USA Today thinks the Giants have the third-best roster in the NFC East, behind both the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. Here is what USA Today’s Nate Davis said about the Giants:

This team could be a microcosm of QB Eli Manning — wildly uneven. The secondary, D-line and receivers are all elite or at least borderline. But the linebackers, special teams and running back situations leave this team looking quite lopsided.

Davis has the Cowboys No. 7 and the Eagles No. 12. Whatever he thinks of the Cowboys and Eagles, I don’t get Davis knocking the Giants that far down. I guess I don’t see the things he pointed to as being that big of a deal.

Denver linebacker Brandon Marshall (yes, the other Brandon Marshall) can’t believe Geno Smith has a job in the NFL and Colin Kaepernick does not:

“I watch people on Twitter say, ‘Colin’s not good, he’s not a good NFL quarterback,’” Marshall said. “But what about the Geno Smiths of the world and Ryan Fitzpatricks, and all those guys?
