I hate this move. Big Shockey fan. Eli has his wish. No Tiki, Shockey or Strahan. His team now.

Trading Shockey was a good move, he had a HUGE ego and a ball hog mentality, I use to like him but he was a jackass and needed to go. They won the superbowl because he wasn't there to mess it up with his greediness. The team didn't even want him on the sideline, that's why you saw him in the stands and away from the team.
Micheal Strahan got his ring finally, I am very happy for him, one of the greatest NFL players ever and has one of the best personalities that you can commend. If he retires it's kool with me, he's beat up and finally accomplished what he wanted to do.
I like Tiki Barber a lot when he played, but it's sad that he didn't get to win a superbowl, maybe if he just woulda stayed 1 more year, but o well too bad for him, I still have his jersey heh.
PS. The term "Gints" that people use sounds real ghey, never liked it!
The Giants won because the defense was playing insane, and the offense made the plays needed to win. It was not like our offfense became all world when Shockey left. No.. we did JUST ENOUGH.
That said, I agree he was a distraction, and probably needed to go. But I am not so sure that we'll be better off.
And Strahan and Tiki had their egotistical moments too, but no one seems to hash on them the way they do Shockey. He is going to have a monster rest of his career with Drew Brees and Sean Payton.
There were rumors that they were trying to swing a deal for jason Taylor involving Shockey. I would have loved that move personally. That would have immediately filled Strahan's void. Now he goes to one of our foes in the skins!!
Could not agree more that Shockey needed to go. Face it, Kevin Boss has virtually the same amount of talent without all the bullshit and attitude. The team did better without him and without Tiki Barber. Football is very simple when it comes to passing...HIT THE OPEN MAN. Shockey wanted to try and catch the ball even when surrounded by 3 players, and didn't like to block. Seriously, you're a TE...your basically a more fit OT with hands and decent speed.
Kevin Boss has shown you he is virtually as good as Shockey based on what? A handful of games?
Shockey has 27 td's in 6 years.... He is faster, stronger, and more atheltic than Boss.
He is a much better player. But that said.. it was probably best he go.
Shockey is beast, but i think it was getting to the point where it was irreconcilable between him and mgmt..
The Giants get hurt with this move. Boss' is taller with less weight than Shockey, so no way can he get the same leverage in Blocking
Seeing how Eli's accuracy is still suspect he is probably a better offensive threat tho passing wise. Hopefully Boss also doesn't drop passes thrown right at him.
I completely agree with what you said... And looking back on it now... I think trading shockey was the right move. How many TD catches did shockey have this year?Eli has shown to be one of the most accurate QB's in the NFL when the Giants began winning last season, especially during their road winning streak. Now that he won the super bowl, his confidence is 100% and thats all Eli needs to perform. The pressure is off his back from all the bad games he use to have, he's gonna be a great QB.
It hurts to admit it but we really need Plax. Without him the team went downhill. Even our Earth-Wind and Fire triade was not the same without Plax wrecking havoc at WR. There were rumors about us being interested in Q but i still think if Plax gets away without any jail time we should give him another shot. I am pretty sure he is not going to shoot himself twice.
I love cuse football and basketball. I could careless that they suck in football, I love them! btw if you ever get the chance to see a Syracuse basketball game at the carrier dome, Go. Great experience.Well the other shot he gave it to himself. lol
Btw if it wasn't for Syracuse you would have been worshiping the same teams as i do.
Rutgers/St Johns is more like me.
