Again, you have no idea what you are talking about. You say Eli "sucks." He doesn't suck. Ask any GM in the league if Eli is a worthless QB and you will get a unanimous answer that he's a good QB. It's fine if you don't think he's very good, but to simply say he "sucks" makes no sense. Ask Seattle or San Fran or Cincy or Miami if Eli is completely worthless... they'd love to have a QB like him right now.Ok, says you and anyone else who has "no idea what they are talking about."Like S. A. Smith said. "Tell me one player who has said they can't wait to play with Eli Manning?"You have no idea what you are talking about. Eli Manning is not a top tier QB, but he's a good NFL quarterback. To completely dismiss him is ridiculous.Aint gonna lie there, but it just so happens the people getting the ball are wearing the other color jerseys.asnd for Fantasy purposes, Eli does suck, oh and in real life purposes too.You keep saying its some sort of fact that Eli sucks, but that's hardly true. Especially for fantasy purposes. Sure, he throws picks. He also throws 4000+ yards, 25-30 tds and has only finished out of the top 13 fantasy QBs once; his rookie year. He gets people the ball.Also, Masons situation is different, but people who watch football and understand it, know that.Do I really have to discuss the concept of what certain player situations mean to performance?So does Derrick Mason but that doesn't mean I'd draft him ahead of Manningham.Burleson has a 1000 yard season![]()
Eli Sucks, fact. The running game in NY seens to be pretty good. Manningham Plays Phillys corners twice.
Matty is freak, but I'm sure all you prisoners of the moment will say "can he stay healthy", if thats your comment your not as smart of a fantasy owner, so I should not even be having this discussion with you. However, no running game an elite amongst elite WR in CJ on the otherside, and an easier schedule...plus just a skillfully better player then Mario, like I said i love Mario as I'm a Meechigan fan.
But yup, lets use last year to predict a new year. If we go of last year, the the team that won the SB the previous year should always win it, but they dont, because thats how much last year matters to this year.
Would he even be in the top 20 QBs if you were starting a new team? on the cusp for me.
Its a fact, people do not rush to play with Eli or Coughlin. Its off people refer to their SB title, as if they were the best team that year. They beat the best team, but it sure had to do with the defense and gum stuck to a helmet.
These guys shouldn't even be in the same discussion.
I totally agree with the first post, and the 2nd post is probably the most informative and least opinionated of the thread.Im not surprised by those numbers with Mario&Nicks being identical in the first, and Mario better in the 2nd, but as you said, Nicks was banged up and Id use caution. With the knowledge going into this year that Eli lost his #2 and #4 options in the passing game without any additions, I see the Giants throwing less and running more. In 09, Bradshaw/Jacobs had 387 carries, last year they had 423 carries. With DJ Ware looking just about as good as them this year and finally healthy, alongside Eli putting the defense in precarious situations, I wouldnt be surprised if they run even more. Its 1 thing to let Eli have 550 attempts with his options last year, its another thing when all he really has is Nicks and Manningham. Another concern I have with Manningham is only 1 of his 9 TDs came from inside 25yds. When you are that big of a deep threat, your TDs arent as consistent (Just ask DJax who weent from 9 TDs down to 6 last year despite better QB play, Jennings only 4TDs in 2009). I still think Mario has a fine year, but with him being a legit 5th round pick in my drafts, Im not as high on his value there as I was a month ago.I left the thread last night excited to see a surprising 45 posts in this thread since, however 90% ended up being useless arguing. People saying Burleson is garbage and not worth rostering dont know what theyre talking about. In fact in my rankings, the only #2 WRs I have ahead of him are Dez, Mario, Collie, Julio, and Ochocinco (and with recent news, I dont think I could take Collie or Ocho), all of which have an ADP at least 6 rounds higher than Burleson. I can see an argument to have 3 or 4 other #2 WRs ahead of Burleson based on others opinion, but thats it. Burleson appears to be a Top 6 #2 WR in a Top 10 passing offense. Tons of value with him.
