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

[Rudyy]

matt ryan, brees, rodgers are some names that come to mind. I think they are smarter because their overall decison making on the field is better. they dont turn the ball over as much. asa far is reading defenses goes, they are do that very well. that is why they are 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."

I don't know if I would say smarter, probably consistent is a better word.

You just realized this now

Sometimes I carry a lot of rope.

Brees throws a ton of picks, too. He's thrown 15 or more in all but like 3 or 4 seasons.

Nada.

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

this i agree with. im not sure if its his ultimate decision or TC's decision but this these were some big mistakes. Good point here

Oops forgot Rodgers.. Matt Ryan LOL please don't make me laugh.

Guy has the most unbelievable receiving corps in the league (not to mention which is probably the biggest reason for his success), Tony Gonzalez.

Brees turns the ball over just as much if not more than Eli and he has a "safe" "high percentage" offense.

He kept Diehl at RT for 2 games when Locklear was struggling himself. Also, I think that decision was on TC, not KG.

If he thought Barden or Randle were better options earlier, he would have used them. We used Hixon a lot this season.

Some how a thread about Kevin Gilbride is now turning into an Eli Manning thread.
Damn you off-season...

When i said they dont turn the ball over as much, who do you think i was comparing them to?

All because Rosie asked if Eli would want a new OC, lol.

I took it as a general statement. However, Brees turns the ball over a lot.
