Giants forced to choose between RBs?

I think I would be more worried about Eli's consistency!

Eli's consistency is less of an issue with a strong running game.

Jacobs is built like a mack truck... but I'd let him go. Bradshaw is the better runningback. Their defense got loads better with drafting Prince so not sure they'll need too much offense to win games this year anyways.

With all this RB trouble, Tiki says he is most available and wouldn't stab TOO many team mates in the back if he could get a few mil.

Giants did not address the issue of their aging O-line in the draft, and unless they do it in free agency, it might not matter which RB they keep.

Bradshaw is the better running back. I give Jacobs another 2 years in the NFL.

Agreed, Bradshaw had a very good season last year. Giants could try to go with him and a good blocking fullback, if it comes down to the necessity of keeping only one high priced RB.

No. Eli sucks!

The Giants should keep both. Jacobs is made for the goal line now.

They get to choose from big slow, and a guy that has fumbleitis. Nice.....

Damn.. a story about a business that has to make personnel decisions due to payroll problems, must be a first for America

Maybe but Bradshaw is actually a better short yardage guy than Jacobs. It seems even at the goal line some qucikness off the ball is key. Ahmad is the better option.

HA! The Giants Suck.

The thing that made Jacobs such a good runner early on was that he was fast for a big back. He could get to the corner and then steamroll the smaller CBs and safeties. Ankle injuries slowed him down and also made it harder for him to make cuts.

I don't think they (the Giants) are going to lose much sleep over it.

As others have already said - at this stage - Bradshaw is a much better back.

Eli's consistency has always been a crap-shoot. At this point in his career, you get what you get...for better, or worse.

At least they have some control over which back they keep.

Eagles fan so I want either or both to go....but if I were the Giants I'd try to find a way to make it work to keep both if I could

Right. on. the. money...

People think he is some kind of "big bruiser"... not until he gets to the second level. He's been horrible on 3 and 1 his whole career.

Tough choice, but here is a list of all the FA running backs that will be out there. Some very good ones.
