This is why eacantdraft is the most ignorant poster on the site, anyone who doesn't take his ridicously pessimistic view on things is labeled a fan girl. He has the mind of a 3 year old and doesn't understand that just because you don't think someone is horrible doesn't mean you think they are great either.

He conveiently forgets to mention that Accorsi was a .500 GM, which is average, not the worst GM in the league, not the worst GM ever. He made some bad decisions, and some good ones, just like every other average GM in the league.

He could do us a favor and walk in front of train, what a pathetic excuse for a fan.

I'm tired of his crap posts

Eh, I'm not sure about Duckett to be honest. I'd much rather have a speedy back who can be lined up in the slot. While Darius Walker is exactly speedy, I would love to see him on our roster. Although I personally would love to grab Lorenzo Booker if we can get him at good value.

Brian Leonard will not happen unless for some cataclysmic reason he ends up dropping to us in the second. Look for Tampa to take him the second. Gruden loved him at the Senior Bowl and they could use someone to help Cadillac Williams out. Clearly we will not take him in the first.

We are looking for a FB. We were looking a Mughelli before he recieved an insane contract. That means we aren't 100% satisfied with Finn. If Leonard gets back up to 235-240, we should look into drafting him in the 3rd round. Other than that, i'd say no to Leonard also.

There are plenty of GM's who have better than a .500 record. EA also had the propensity of taking players higher than they should have been and these players never panned out.

The guy was a total buffoon. There were reasons why the Giants were his third team. Totally glad that he is gone.

Just look at what Reece is doing shows you what he thought of many of his former boss's picks. They reaked of suckage.

Damix · 03-08-2007, 03:53 PM

And there are plenty of GMs that are worse then 500, league average.

As soon as April gets here, the running back conversations will turn to draft prospects like Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch, Michael Bush, Tony Hunt, Kenny Irons, Lorenzo Booker and Brian Leonard. With teams like the Texans, Jets and Broncos already resolving their running back situations, some very good backs in the draft are going to drop and are going to be tremendous values in the second and third rounds. The money investment in those rounds is going to put more pressure on the free-agent backs and lessen the compensation a team would give in a trade for a back.

Green Bay, Cleveland, Baltimore, the New York Giants, Tennessee, Oakland and Pittsburgh, among others, have to be thrilled at the possibilities to fill their running back needs now that the market is coming to them. If Thomas Jones can be traded for a swap of second-round picks after a season with 1,364 total yards, you can get a bargain in this market very shortly.

ya i do not think duckett is the right fit for us- hes similar to brandon jacobs in the power back mold where as we need a speedy complement to him. I too like lorenzo booker a lot

There will probably be good value in the draft at Rb so we'll get a good one. Not that we need one tho. I want Jacobs getting at least 75% of the carries. He's gonna be the man for the forseeable future IMO.

I think whoever we get in the draft, it should play out to be a 65-35 with jacobs gettin the most- if we get rhodes may b a 60-40 type situation

QFT. Finally somebody that agrees.

eacantdraft · 03-09-2007, 08:09 AM

Why would Rhodes come to NY to be a part timer when he could sign with Buffalo or some other team and be a starter?

I doubt he'll be starting anywhere, but we still don't want him. He'll probably end up backing up Lamont Jordan in Oakland. Or brought into Buffalo to complete with a rookie for the starting job.

No team will have him as an uncontested starter. Buffalo signed Chris Brown remember.

Jughead10 · 03-09-2007, 09:49 AM

Nevermind it looks like Rhodes signed with the Raiders. Only 2 years 7.5 million dollars. He is well worth that to me. I think Reese dropped the ball on this one.

I called it.

Jughead10 · 03-09-2007, 10:00 AM

Well Lamont might get cut, so he might not be backing up Jordan.

GiantRutgersFan · 03-09-2007, 12:02 PM

Yea for that little money, Reese's pieces definitely screwed that one up....

I'm actually not terribly upset we didn't get a free agent to spell Jacobs. None of them were really the speedy back who could catch out of the backfield. Plus we'll save money by drafting a rookie.
