Eli's coming!n_v said:Well looks like the Chargers did what the Grizzlies and Nordiques did. Draft a player that doesn't want to play for that team. San Diego drafted Eli Manning, but then traded him to the Giants for anothr QB, Philip Rivers, plus a 3rd rounder this year and the Giants 1st and 5th round picks next year. I think this a pretty damn good move by the Chargers. It sounds very reminiscent of the Flyers/Nordiques trade last decade.
Sorry homonger. I didn't mean to imply that the Giants did well. In fact it sounds like the Chargers got a steal of a deal. The difference between 1st and 4th in the NFL is negligible, plus add the other draft choices the Chargers received this year and next make this a great move by them.homonger said:....and I agree, they did well.
I meant the Chargers when I said that. I think they did very well given the corner Manning backed them into to. But I also think the Giants did what they had to do to get a franchise quality quarterback. There are obviously no guarantees, but Manning has as good a chance of being a successful NFL quarterback as anyone, if on nothing else, pedigree alone. As I said, history will be the determinator of "who got the better of this one".n_v said:Sorry homonger. I didn't mean to imply that the Giants did well.
