Quote from: TDToomer on February 05, 2025, 12:30:03 PMI don't care about what he stole in college. He's 31 and this didn't prevent 3 other teams from drafting or signing him. But I do care about his bush league move of calling a running play when his coached called a victory formation kneel down in his last game ever with the Saints. This is the character trait that bugs me. Oh and he is a turnover machine. There's nothing entertaining about a 50/50 TD/INT ratio. This isn't the 70's.
The countless sexual assault claims?  

The $950,000 FSU settlement on alleged rape

The shop lifting 

and what bothers you is a victory formation changed to a called run play????

Thats the character trait that was the deal breaker???

Quote from: MightyGiants on February 05, 2025, 08:46:43 AMI was aware of the shoplifting incident while in college.  I was not aware of the sexual assault incident in college, as well as his 2018 groping of an Uber driver incident.  I think it would be wise for NYG to steer well clear of him.

I have to agree.

I like second chances and comeback stories, but we're talking about multiple things with this guy. Plus who knows what other skeletons there might be?

For a QB who isn't even that good to begin with, it's just not worth it.

Well it's his most recent transgression. I do take sexual assault seriously but why hasn't he been jailed or suspended by the NFL and why do teams keep signing him.

I did not want to start a new thread since I started this one .

What about Carson Wentz as a stop gap QB for 2 years and as a mentor ? I do not think he was mentioned in any of the posts in this thread.

No thanks, he's spent. I watched him in the week 18 game vs Denver and there was literally nothing left.

Wasn't he suspended for 3 games at one point?

Yes. He was suspended for the first three games of the 2018 season by the NFL over the Uber driver groping incident.

This guy will never be a Giant.
