I'm hoping he'll make a mark this year.

As for Simms, I can't say I've paid THAT much attention to him, maybe I've just been biased because I dig Brandstater so much.
I do like Brandstater, just worried he will become the perennial project tease, looking nice but either a) never given a chance or b) never really living up to expectation when up against the best. If he plays its not like he will be severely disadvantaged behind a great line and what should be a competent-good running game and WR core, just think he will be out of his depth is all.

I think it will be a bit of both. Given a BIT of time (Not enough though) and looks meh, and then you draft a QB high.

I felt the same with Josh Johnson @ Tampa... Highly talented, good with his legs and general throwing, and is a project, but one I rated highly. Now this year, they draft Freeman, an inferior project/player, who will be given all the chance in the world whilst JJ becomes waiver fodder and 3rd string PS type of QB.

Giants fan btw.
