Tyree had one catch and thats it! Boss is no Shockey.
Just stop dude. Talking trash to the Super Bowl Champs is pretty pointless. At the end of the day they still have the rings so that's all that really matters.

If you read what I said ,I said "Over All",the others are good at one thing or the other.Right now I too would take Cooley...Shockey is a head case.
Shockey = drama queen

He also led the league with 20 ints in the regular season, and had a mildly unimpressive 6.3 yards per attempt to go with a totally unimpressive 56.1% completion. Those numbers border on Grossman/Tavaris Jackson/Brodie Croyle levels.
I tend to think that there is something sustainable about his maturation in the playoffs, something real about it, but is it possible he was playing a little over his head throwing only one int in the playoffs, considering he threw about 1.25 per game in the regular season last year?
Eli is probably never going to be a 65% passer. He's just too streaky of a QB. I think that's just who he is. But he played his best when it mattered most and he's a SB champion. You can win with Eli as your QB. So not much else anyone can say. He shut a lot of people up.

Ahhhh no,Look I think I've been pretty realistic in my evaluations of Eli and the Giants but to answer you....the Bucs at their place,the Cowgirls at their place and Greenbay at 10 below and at their place! 11 games won away from home on the road 3 or 4 maybe luck 11 no.Toomer stepped up ,Steve Smith step up so did Tyree and Boss ,no Shockey in sight.If you beleive the Giants can't win without him I have a DVD from2/3/08 if you want to watch it?:spank:
LOL! Good one.

You can win with Eli as your QB. So not much else anyone can say. He shut a lot of people up.I always thought people were way too down on him, because he was a still-developing NFL passer, and now it's clear that people in general think too much of him.
I mean, I like the guy and all, and was happy for him that his team won a SB, and he played phenomenal in the playoffs and all, but you are right, he's still Eli Manning.
Eli isn't somehow a different player now that he has a super bowl victory. He's the same Eli Manning. Perhaps a bit closer to his prime now than he was a year ago, but I still feel like he's capable of holding the Giants back in the future.
I don't think anyone really thinks that Eli has somehow morphed into a top notch QB. But last year he played well enough down the stretch to get the job done. Most importantly he didn't turn the ball over, and that's what the Giants need from him. Will he keep that up next year? Who knows.

I was debating whether or not to post this pic.... When Eli was a senior at Ole Miss, my girlfriend (who was a senior at Florida at the time) and some of her friends went to the Bahamas for spring brink. Alas, I was back in Gainesville working and couldn't go. Anyway, they were staying at the same hotel as Eli and some of his Ole Miss goons. My girlfriend said he wore these retarded rolled up nut-hugger jean shorts as a swimsuit. The first day she thought maybe he had just lost a bet. But he wore them everyday! Check it out: (my girlfriend Brooke is just to the right of the chick in the middle, and it's a scanned photo so the quality isn't great).

Again ...NO,Tyree also had the first TD in the super bowl.
P.S.
No one has said Boss was but we proved we could get along without him.
