Giants QB’s Rank #19 on FoxSports.com
Posted by Matt Loede on July 17th, 2007 filed in OpinionsThe Giants are not getting a whole lotta love on FoxSports.com, as their QB’s are ranked in at #19 out of #32. Here is what they have to say:
19. Giants (2006 Rank: 18)
Eli Manning appeared to turn the corner at the start of last season. He threw nine touchdown passes in his first four games, completed 67.1 percent of his passes, and brushed off an eight-sack pounding by the Eagles to lead an improbable comeback. Then came a miserable November stretch; the Giants kept losing, and every Manning pass seemed to be two seconds too late or five yards too high. Manning has a quick trigger and can drop a bomb into a receiver’s arms 40 yards downfield like he’s sinking a free throw. But zone blitzes mystify him and, unlike his brother, he makes some awful game management decisions. Eli is no lost cause, but it will be tough for him to get better while battling opponents, his own overmatched coaches, and the often hostile Big Apple media.
The Giants backups are more interesting than effective. Jared Lorenzen looks like Billy Kilmer after a White Castle Crave Case binge. Tim Hasselbeck’s wife hates Rosie O’Donnell.
