They gave up 2 #1 picks (Phillip Rivers). Rivers and the #3 this year? Fine. But next year's #1? And how can you say he's better than a 300 ypg quarterback when he was yet to throw a pass in the NFL?

The best case scenario, he's the next Montana.

Easy, cheif. Joe Montana actually had a champioship at this point in his career. I think its pretty unfair to compare a rookie who has just been drafted to the greatest QB of all time.

A great deal, when you consider that the Bills essentially did the same thing for a project who will sit behind Bledsoe.

Thats lousy deal, too.

They had to cut Collins, they didn't want to, but they had to.

True, he really should have accepted restructuring the deal.

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.

It would have been better to have Manning learn from Collins for a season or two.

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.

The main problem was an o-line that never got to work as one cohesive unit due to injuries. If that doesn't improve, the Giants just mortgaged their next 3 or 4 years.
And when was the last time Hilliard was healthy?
I get this feeling that Manning will be the next Tyrone Wheatly.
