Giants Are Insane, Make Mittens Only Other QB on Roster

By Brinson | August 30, 2008

Despite Mittens recent stunningly superb performance in the preseason, it stood to reason that he was not in the immediate plans for anything that involved the Giants and playing time. Wrong, folks. Dead, dead wrong.

According to the Star-Ledger Giants blog, Woodson and backup Anthony Wright didn’t make the final cut, which means that … wait, what? David Carr is the only other quarterback on the roster after Eli Manning? Really? Wow, that’s a lot of faith in the Giants offensive line and Elisha’s ability to take a hit.

What did — or to be more accurate — didn’t the Giants’ front office see last year in Charlotte that made them think this would be a smart decision? I understand that Carr has been very good in the preseason, but again, it’s the preseason. Not like he’s facing anyone with a semblance of a defensive line when he comes in late in the game.

To sum up: Stunning. Simply stunning. Enjoy your four wins this year, New York. Because if you don’t think Mittens will slice Eli’s hammy in his sleep, you missed the Cats’ depth chart action last year.
