Sephiroth Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Holding out hope he can play for one mire season, but I'm pretty sure that's wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Article on ESPN...he's done. Great player, glad his career was here and he didn't fade off somewhere else. Time for Mosely or Jerry to step in...but even so, I'm not liking the depth issues caused when a stallwart leaves the fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrashTalker92 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Those were the days and Snee is the last of the line. Hell yeah. I remember when we took Mckenzie from the jets. I was a little skeptical. But glad it turn out the way it did. Snee will always be remember as true Giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK-Giantsfan Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Im glad he has made this decision. What a great Giant he was ( and a big part of why we won 2 Championships in the current era ) ..........I hope Jerry is good enough to start or we have problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Not diminishing anything he did as a Giant, but wouldn't it, "help the team the way I expect of myself or (how) they would expect of me," by retiring, you know, before the draft and free agency when his decision was all up in the air in the first place? Just seems stupid that we go into the season with fucking John Jerry starting at guard now. I'm not even saying it's fully Snee's responsibility to retire when it's time, but the team putting all their eggs in his basket was dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris deserved and long since earned the chance to try and come back. Giants knew what they were doing when they brought in John Jerry, Chris Snee coming back and starting was not written in stone. Giants didn't put all their eggs in one basket, you're just unhappy with the other basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants didn't put all their eggs in one basket, you're just unhappy with the other basket. If you're given two baskets, and one has shit in it while the other has slightly less stinky shit in it, you'd be happy? I know I wouldn't be drafting wide receivers if I had no one, yet again, to protect the man getting the ball to the wide receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he knew how he would heal before the draft or free agency. From NFL.com A four-time Pro Bowl player and one-time first-team All-Pro, Snee's body has betrayed him in recent years. Snee has undergone two hip surgeries and an elbow surgery over the last two years. He has reportedly been slow to recover from the elbow surgery, which prompted this decision.

Storm Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Sounds like his elbow gave up on him. It's not like he knew how he would heal before the draft or free agency. From NFL.com From his play last year, how is it that no one knew or at least expected this to be the case? The man played nearly 10 years manning the most physically demanding position in football and the organization, or even himself, expected that he'd come back from two hip surgeries and an elbow surgery? I thought it was a terrible idea he wasn't retiring the second the 2013 season ended and I'm sure most people here did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't left up to either of us as to who the Giants would be drafting or signing this offseason. We do have a couple of options at RG, just not the best ones in the NFL.

Giants didn't put all their eggs in one basket, you're just unhappy with the other basket. Besides it's not like the Giant's would of taken a guard instead of OBJ. Heck I'm sure even if Snee retired at years end they still would of went with OBJ, Richberd and Bromely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
