The Giants gave up a 1, a 3, and a 5 for a guy who will at the very LEAST be just as good as Collins, but younger, and well tested in tense games. The best case scenario, he's the next Montana. A great deal, when you consider that the Bills essentially did the same thing for a project who will sit behind Bledsoe.
They had to cut Collins, they didn't want to, but they had to. I would've loved to have both of them compete for the job in camp, cuz the free market makes all boats rise and shit, but oh well. The Giants have a good team. They were at the top of most peoples Super Bowl lists last year, but everything that could go wrong for them did. I'm counting on a healthy Shockey, a Tike Barber who doesn't fumble every other down, an excellent quarterback, a healthy Ike Hilliard, a special teams unit worth the price tag, etc. etc.
