Wow thats pretty depressing ! Not sure I agree with Nassib being on the list. He seems in a reasonable situation, especially when compared to some of the thugs on that list ! LOL ! Thanks for that. jb
swnybillsfan Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 What a mug! i don't know exactly why, but that picture really gives me the heebie-jeebies something aweful.
Homey D. Clown Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 yeah, I agree it seems a little unfair to have nassib on that list, most people had him as a 2-3rd round prospect outside of Buffalo, so going 4th wasn't that far a drop.

Goes to show, the power of the uninformed media repeating something over and over (i.e., the Bills will draft Nassib high), until it suddenly becomes an accepted fact.

How is being a competitor, loving the game of football and being on a football team worse than not being on a football team?
Armchair GM Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 rounds aside, he's going to a place where the coach and GM said they hope he never plays. not exactly a QB's dream... going to a team with a durable franchise guy still in his prime years. the actual location hurts worse than his spot in the draft. I completely disagree with anything anyone has to say about Nassib. This guy is in a great spot. Pretty sure the whole"hope he never has to play" thing is in regards to any time in the immediate future...basically, hopeing Eli doesn't get hurt because Nassib will probably end up as the #2 in NY. Manning, though the younger of the 2, is no "spring chicken" @ 32. Just because Peyton showed he's got more in the tank @ 36 doesn't mean Eli will follow the same path. Like Rogers, Nassib will have an opportunity to sit for a few years behind an, arguably, elite QB. Not to say Eli will be done @ 35, but if he continues to take the beatings he has over the last couple years, ya never know. Eli's a tough dude, but so is Ken Shamrock, regarless of how many beatings he had to take to make him hang it up.
swnybillsfan Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 How is being a competitor, loving the game of football and being on a football team worse than not being on a football team? i am just trying to say that if playing time is an important factor in his being happy in the nfl, he may be in the wrong place. and he has absolutely no control of that.

There is both downside and upside to Naasib's tenure with the Giants. On the upside, he will sit on the bench and learn and may be traded to a QB needy team in a couple of years. (I believe 4th Rds only get a 3year deal). The downside is that while EJ, Barkley and Geno have a very good shot of starting and proving themselves in the NFL rightaway, Naasib has that door shut firmly in front of him unless there is a devastating injury to a player who has not missed any game in his career.
