Rachel Nichols of ESPN broke news that current New York Giants quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan will interview with the Buccaneers. Given the lack of strong candidates the Bucs are left with, Sullivan poses an interesting opportunity. Sullivan has coached Eli Manning for the last two seasons, which coincides with Manning’s increased performance levels. Manning set records in 2010 (Sullivan’s) first year as QB coach. Manning set franchise records in completion percentage (62.9) and completions (339) in that season. This year saw Manning break the completions record with 359 while only dropping to a 61.0 completion percentage. Manning’s quarterback rating also jumped from 85 to 92 this season and threw for 931 more yards total. Before coaching Manning, Sullivan was the wide receivers coach for 6 seasons with the Giants. This would include players like Plaxico Burress, David Tyree, Steve Smith, Mario Manningham, Victor Cruz (preseason action) and Hakeem Nicks. All of ...

Eli Manning will probably make the Top 100 players this year

I was asked a few times during Super Bowl week to rank Eli Manning’s place in the current quarterback hierarchy. For 2011 alone, I put him in a tie for fourth with Ben Roethlisberger behind Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees. Before 2011, Manning would have been closer to No. 10 than No. 5.…

While the Jets haven’t won a Super Bowl since Broadway Joe 40+ years ago, the second best thing behind winning is watching Patriot...

With 3:46 remaining in Super Bowl XLVI, the New York Giants trailed the New England Patriots 17-15 and were starting a drive from their own 12-yard line.  Quarterback Eli Manning dropped back and threw a high arching pass down the left sideline.  Wide Receiver Mario Manningham brought the ball in from over his right shoulder between two Patriots defenders and pulled down the ball...

The Indianapolis Colts Need to Draft Justin Blackmon if Peyton Manning is Cleared.

Five years ago in the NFL, the draft would be a part of each teams rebuilding process. Teams would draft players that would sit behind veteran players to get them ready to play. They would learn the ins and outs of the game and be mentored by older players. Perfect example is Aaron Rodgers sitting behind Brett Favre in Green Bay. Rodgers got his shot a few seasons back and he ran...
