For those that believe Gilbride is a really good coach please ask yourself 1 question

And along those lines, if Eli was unhappy with our system do you think he would try to change it? And if he did, do you think the Giants would be amenable to his desires?

He probably doesn't want a change because no one really truthfully likes change no matter what it is. If you asked him if he could learn a new scheme rather quickly I'm sure he would say give a bland answer.

Eli is a great guy and a great teammate. He's not going to throw anyone under the bus no matter what. That doesn't mean he wouldn't thrive under a new OC.

He doesn't mind making a mistake. That doesn't mean he's not smart. He trusts his receivers and tries to do too much when the line breaks down.

He's a winner and doesn't are about his stats.

I'd love to hear who everyone thinks is a smarter QB than Eli besides Peyton or Brady.

Nicks injury was the killer to this offense, not Gilbride.

and for the 1000th time, what specifically
did killdrive do in an attempt to compensate for that.

matt ryan, brees, rodgers are some names that come to mind. I think they are smarter because their overall decision making on the field is better. they dont turn the ball over as much. as far as reading defenses goes, they are all very good at it. that is why they are all productive on the field for their team.


prays: "please dont let him bring up playoff wins as if it justifies a player being smarter than another when wins come as a team. please let him give a more valid example."

So you are saying you would get rid of Gilbride despite Eli's wishes. Interesting.

I guess most people think of you as being more of a homer than me, so I find it interesting that you would just fire Gilbride, while I would defer to Eli. I believe Eli is that important to this franchise.

True. It does have train wreck appeal, lol.

Nada.

Kept Diehl at RT.
Failed to use Barden or Randle when Nicks was ailing.
