Giants fans are generally disappointed they lost him.
I think this is a good signing. It is another low risk - high reward. Yes he is 30 but has been on the field consistently for only 5 years, so the wear and tear might not be as bad as it seems.

Worst signing since Lawrence Phillips.
A no-talent, washed up bum that runs his mouth every chance he gets, putting added/undue pressure on his team.
HATE HATE HATE THIS MOVE. I watch the Giants constantly and this guy is a hack.
How did that undue pressure work out for the Giants?
Oh yeah that's right 2 SBs...

I was hoping for Tolbert, but Brandon Jacobs was next on my list for physical backs that could punch the ball through near the goal line. Gore is not really that guy, and Dixon might as well be a 5-8, 180 back, since he can't utilize his size. I guess this means Boobie's tweets are going to be gone, finally!

short yardage back, that is all. Basically Dixon's replacement since his b***hass couldn't gain half a yard if his life depended on it. It's not like this dude is going to be our feature back, simma down! SIMMA!!!

Well, we won't be keeping all three of Jacobs, Rock, and Dixon.

I like this signing. Holds us over through next year with a good crew and to the 2013 draft that will be packed with some great RB talent!

I like this move. Dixon is not getting the job done. I think Jacobs will be a good situational back. Also I think our O-Line is more aggressive than the giants in the run game. I think he will be a good short yardage back and will contribute to this team. His best years are behind him but he is still a huge man who is hard to bring down. Also we got him for cheap so it's not like it's a huge gamble for us.

AWESOME SIGNING. -Totally love it, this guy is a 3rd down solution not only on short yardage, but also mismatches; put Gore and Jacobs out in one package, people will think we're running when both RBs are capable of catching the ball on passing routes.
This will be the sleeper FA reward for us in the end.
