Breakout game. Give him some love. He earned it.

He 100% earned it.  Let's hope he turned the corner to be a consistent impact player.  Recent 2-3 games is good.

Yup. Absolutely.

Considering all the noise that's been made here, and I've made some of it, I thought he was superb today.

He also committed the penalty that stopped the clock with 17 seconds.

I've made a lot of it.  Hope I'm wrong as we need him.  Certainly cheering for him.

Which ultimately helped them lose the game.

Lots of QBs threw for over 400 yards in a game. Most of them lost that game. Stats mean nothing without the W.

Really?!

So you take no solace in the fact that there are players on this roster who have the ability to elevate the team?

It's one of the few things I can appreciate about this team.

From Simms to Eli (with an assist from Hoss) our Super Bowl Quarterbacks. Great defense and clutch QB performances...NY Giants Championship football.

I have an old profile still floating around: andrew_nyg....I am one and the same!

I think it's tough for fans to get excited about an individual performance within one hour after a gut-wrenching loss. I can understand the reaction myself.

I understand the feeling but it's a bit childish IMHO. That kid has taken more abuse than any one on the defense. He played like a pro bowler today. Not his fault that he has a coward for a head coach. No need for that poster to derail thus thread because he's butt hurt. We're all pissed.

I get it.

But as a 53 year diehard I've learned to appreciate the building process and identifying the players who can contribute to our turnaround.

It keeps me sane on afternoons like this.

Yup. I'm not defending the flippant tone. More that I understand how it's hard to get overly excited about moral victories or individual performances immediately following a terrible loss.

I do agree that there is no need to disrupt a perfectly well-conceived thread though with mindless venting. That's what the game thread is for.

On the positive side, the defense is playing better than early season games.  Hope that's not due to easier competition.

He's been very good since week 3. But no one here wants to admit it because they'd rather be right.

The game wasn't over and on the course for a win when I started the thread.
