Are you serious? This guy is only even being talked about because of the game he had vs ND. And EVERY QB that played ND this season had a huge game as ND's secondary was as good as that of a girls pee-wee football team. I think Russell will be a huge NFL bust. Sure he has a good arm and size, but his football IQ is horrible and he would be more likely to read the Koran than an NFL defense. Didn't you see Aaron Brooks try to run that offense? Russell is essentially a younger version of Brooks. Brooks has a monster arm and great physical ability, but again is not NFL qb material. Look at how much better the Saints were without him losing them games. Oak. should look for someone who has actual QB experience in the free agent market. They need a veteran leader on that young offense. Kiffen, as a new head coach who was formally an offensive coordinator doesn't need to start his career with a struggling rookie QB. They should pick up a veteran like Jeff Garcia who knows the game of football and can lead that team and then look to the draft for future talent such as Brady Quinn. I don't like Quinn, but he is a smart quarterback with good physical tools and has great leadership ability. Being able to play behind someone like Garcia for a year would make a world of difference for a rook. in Oak. P.S. Kiffin, if you watched USC's offense, likes to throw a lot of quick routes and let the players do the work and then stretches the field later in the game once the secondary is creeping up to take away the underneath stuff. USC made a living in the second half of games like this under his watchful eye.

Anyway, back on topic...

...The Giants offense as inconsistent as it was last season has talent. The defense...doesn't. They're definitely in need of help on that side of hte ball and need to form some sort of identity.
