Tom [Giants fan] Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 You guys think Pierce and Hasselbeck gave the Giants an advantage last week. Well, apparetnly the 49er's bye into this idea. POSTED 1:34 p.m. EST, November 1, 2005 NINERS ADD PALMER With starter Alex Smith injured and backup Ken Dorsey out as well, the Niners have signed former Giants quarterback Jesse Palmer. Palmer, a former Florida quarterback, was taken by the Giants in the fourth round of the 2001 draft. He played in 2004 under the mid-level one-year restricted free agent tender, and the team signed him to another one-year deal prior to the season. But newcomer Tim Hasselbeck nudged him out for the No. 2 spot, and the Giants opted for giant-sized Jared Lorzensen at No. 3. By all appearances, Palmer's decision to star in ABC's The Bachelor last year got him off on the wrong foot with coach Tom Coughlin, who was hired not long before Palmer took an offseason break to participate in the reality show. Palmer most recently was linked to the Bucs, who were planning to sign him if they hadn't acquired Tim Rattay from the Niners near the trading deadline. Palmer gets a crack at his former squad on Sunday, when the Giants face the 49ers. Although Cody Pickett will get the start for San Fran, Palmer will be in position to feed the coaching staff plenty of information regarding his old team. http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Deadman Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Don't get too ****y about the 49ers Tom, They may suprise you.....they have a decent run game (Barlow and Gore). Thankfully, for you guys Smith is out (b/c of us). Palmer may be a big pick up for the niners if only for the info./scouting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 Getting ****y against the 49er's is one thing no Giant fan should ever do. I still remember the last time these two met in the playoffs. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tr1 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 The Giants are primed for a grand let down...it's a long road trip. And they're feeling pretty confident right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
