mnp726 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 No respect. I am so upset the Scouts Inc gave the nod to Manning! Considering all the success and experience Brunell has and especially his preformance this year please tell me it isn't so. I'm expecting a hugh day from Brunell. Manning has only 13 starts and gets the nod HUH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvan1 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 typical mediots... if brunell has a solid game and we win, they can eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nneece Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Oh, I thought you meant Peyton Manning over Brunell vs. Eli. Eli is the hot commodity right now. Our defense could be the difference if we can put a pass rush on Manning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortiz Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 SPIN DOCTORS ... they rather error on the side of Manning then Brunell, if Little Brother screws up they can just attribute it to the REdskins Defense, if they Pick Brunell and he screws up they have no where to fall, and no BS excuses to catch them, plain and simple. Even if Brunell is the safer pick, they won't go with him cause there is more upside going with Manning - I'm sure Brunell has already made SO SO SO MANY Mediots look pretty bad already ...

herrmag Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Brunell beats him in just about every category this year, doesn't he? Just media hype, nothing more. EDIT: They each have 12 td's, but brunell has only 2 pickles while Eli has 4. Brunell has a slight edge in yardage, but is about 10 points up in QB rating. But Eli gets the nod....mmmmkkkaaayyy.

Pedro Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I thought you were doing a poll - if you had of been I would choose Scot because with him I think we have a real shot at a SB win this year and I'm happy to let next year sort itself out with regard QB...

skins4eva Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Dude, the Scouts Inc. people are scary--they make far too many mistakes for "professionals" and they seem to have no idea what they are talking about most of the time. I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock into their predictions or takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor ToughLove Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 The "Manning" label is carrying too much weight in the public eye at this early time. I don't buy into it but I understand it. His father & brother are model QBs. Brunell & Manning are playing pretty hot, big difference is Brunell has the scrambling ability. I would also take Brunells experience in big games over Mannings precociousness in 6 regular season games. Not to mention Brunell has a better rating than Eli, and against much harder teams.

Newera Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Eli is getting a lot of props because he's showing well at such a young age. He's the latest flavor. He's gonna be good. We just need to take him down a peg, and build ourselves up -- and I'm hoping we do that this weekend. If we win --two road wins in our division is huge. And the gints would be 0-2. It's a statement game for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokieskins1 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 i like that we get no respect. i like being the underdogs it just makes the media guys look even more dumb each week. i believe we will have another huge game this week. the giants almost lost one to the broncos at home, who we went to their place in a much more hostile environment and almost got a win. eli doesnt have the experience brunell has and has not faced a d like ours, so i really like our chances in this one.:gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 If I had to pick a QB for right now and the immediate future, I'd pick Brunell. But to start a franchise, you'd obviously go with Manning....he's obviously got way more years ahead of him than Brunell. Of course, Brunell could turn into the next Vinny and play until he's 86...:whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyfoosball Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 There is no spin doctoring going down. Take your stats and throw them out the window, even though Eli's stats are pretty darn good. Eli put up a huge game against the Chargers in an environment that the word hostile just didn't seem to attatch properly too. He brought the Giants back in Dallas in a game that they lost in overtime, he brought them back 83 yards against Denver, he has a retarded 100+ rating against the blitz with 7 td's and 1 int. He is showing poise that second year quarterbacks DON'T show. Brunells having a good year, he's doing well within that offense, he's not turning it over a lot. He seems to have gotten his arm back. He's not as good as Eli though. Sorry, he's just not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
