Chad Johnson Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 what do you guys think about the manning Rivers trade.New york gets ManningChargers get Rivers, 3rd, next year's 1st and 5th Quote
B24 Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 I don't think Manning is worth it. Advantage Chargers. Quote
San Antonio Bengal Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 The Giants gave up too much. End of story. Quote
Chad Johnson Posted April 25, 2004 Author Report Posted April 25, 2004 Im going with Giants gave up too much for Manning but chargers sill will suck Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 The Giants got hoodwinked. Manning (IMHO) wasn't even the third best QB in the draft. He got drafted on his name, not his ability! Quote
Wisk Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 The Giants got raped and their fans knew it right away. The draft, attended by a huge NYG contingent, erupted in terror when the trade was announced. Of course, it was announced, initially, as a 3rd round this year and a 1st and 3rd next year for the Chargers - when actually was a 1st and 5th next year. Still, Manning probably is not even the BEST QB in the draft and the Giants mortgaged "the house" for him. Although it is what Eli wanted, the trade will hurt his future because it will not allow the Giants to build around him....this year or next! Giants got raped...but they chose it themselves....and as they say...."You can't rape the willing"! Quote
Bourgeois_Rage Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 Easily the dumbest move of the draft. While the Chargers came out on top, they are going to have huge problems. If Rivers' throwing motion doesn't work at this level, it will be like they never had the first pick overall. Quote
jditty47 Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 i agree that it was a bad trade...a first next year? come on now! but i disagree that he wasnt the best qb in the draft...rivers is gonna suck and so will rothlesburgerblahblah hes a steeler, hes bound to fail! Quote
Tiger Stripes Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 If was the giants i wouldve picked Big Ben and stayed with that. Just gave way too much for Eli Quote
Arizona Posted April 25, 2004 Report Posted April 25, 2004 I agree, the Giants appeared to have been hosed. But as with all draft issues, it'll take a few years to see. Quote
Bobcat Bengal Posted April 26, 2004 Report Posted April 26, 2004 I cant even front....that is a funny picture Arizona.... Quote
chrishcovga Posted April 26, 2004 Report Posted April 26, 2004 Chargers probably got the better deal of the 2. Now with Kerry Collins' eventual release, The G-men will be forced to start Eli right away, so the Chargers basically got the quarterback they really wanted as well as a top 8 pick next season. Quote
