Talk about beating a story to death, but this one can go on for days. Thousands of Giants fans are waiting for the day that Cruz and Beckham take the field together. That day will be a holy one for Giants’ fans because it will be the day that the Giants’ offense will never be the same.

Defenses had enough trouble with Cruz, now they have to worry about the high-flying Beckham. Beckham will surely drag much more attention and leave Cruz wide open to make some big plays. I’m sure Beckham being double covered isn’t such a big deal when he makes catches in nearly impossible ways.

These receivers don’t have just anyone throwing them the ball either. Eli Manning is a proven commodity and a league veteran. The two-time Super Bowl MVP gets the job done especially when it’s time to go deep down the field. His high level of skill automatically improves Beckham and Cruz’s performances.

The two may be the best-ranked wide receiver duo in the NFL. Of course, this is all pending because on Cruz’s injury. If Cruz comes back and struggles, it’s going to be a whole different story for this Giants squad. For argument’s sake, let’s believe in Cruz’s health.
