Re: Giants need a QB!
Listen people, LISTEN! There is no way that the Giants are giving up a pick for Troy Smith. Considering that he'll likely be cut anyway and isn't a very sought after QB, they'll wait til the dominos fall and scoop up the pieces they want.

Re: Giants need a QB!
With Leinart now in the market going into an uncapped season, it's a pipe dream that any NFL team would give up anything for Smith. More likely, if there had been any teams looking for a new #3 QB to pick up after the final cuts, Leinart's appearance further reduces the number. I would expect the Giants to offer a low rounder for Leinart and snag him, unless some other team were to make a foolish bid.
I see almost no risk just releasing Smith. With Smith and possibly Beck in the unemployed ranks, there should be someone available who could be easily picked up if one of our QBs sustained an injury.In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

Re: Giants need a QB!
There's nothing that Troy Smith has shown me that warrant any GM giving much for him. Seems like he's just one of many so-so QBs out there. I'm not sure if he'll ever be good enough to be an NFL QB, backup or otherwise.
As for Beck, I thought Washington just signed him to a two year deal?

Re: Giants need a QB!
The Washington Redskins have signed quarterback John Beck to a three-year contract worth $3.35 million.
The deal is essentially a two-year extension and puts Beck under contract through the 2012 season.Last edited by Bez513; 09-02-2010 at 11:45 AM.

Re: Giants need a QB!
Well, if the Cards get rid of Leinart, how about Troy as the backup to Anderson? Then, when Anderson starts to flop, as he has usually done in the past, there would be a good chance for Troy to start over in the desert.

Re: Giants need a QB!
Both Leinart and Smith are career backups, but their styles are so different that they're not likely to be sought after by the same teams this year. It's a relatively safe bet that if we let Smitty go, the Browns will find value in him just because they want to be like us so badly...

Re: Giants need a QB!
After tonight I don't think anyone would trade an empty gatorade bottle for Smith. He is not an NFL QB. If the Ravens must carry 3 QBs then i think they can find someone off a scrap heap that is better than Smith. Hell, bring back Boller. He may bring his wife and they can put her up on the Jumbotron.
