Thoughts on ELI

PhilD : 8/28/2014 5:58 pm
If you think back over his career ELI does not do well in the first quarter of a game. He is supper in the last 4 minutes of the first half and in the fourth quarter.
In the first 3 preseason games he only played in the first quarter and looked bad. In the forth game he played the first half and looked good in the final 4 minutes of the first half.
How much of this preseason is just normal ELI.
And Donovan McNabb was souped

Interesting observation. I'm looking for a reason to believe. This is the most coherent argument I've read.
Joking aside,

I agree, Eli usually plays better as a game progresses.

Let's see what he's looked like after 8 games
Yep

Eli usually starts slow and finishes strong even when he's the "good Eli".

ELi is average at best

except for the couple times he got hot in the playoffs and won Super Bowls.

if Eli was the quarterback of the (insert any team besides your most hated) what would your thoughts of him be?

this is how i've come to judge eli, unbiased. i used to defend him majorly. last year my friend asked me "if the same guy was the qb of the tenn. titans, what would you say about him"

had to be honest and say that i'd say "that guy sucks and has fallen off"
I don't think many QB'S

could have been successful on last years Giant team.
Poor OL play. No running game. No deep threat.

I'd like to see how he does when Beckham comes back with the full play book. I'm not writing Eli off.
in recent years yes this observation is somewhat accurate

in 2008 and 9, they often scored on the first drive down the field, and if they did you knew they were winning the game. the problem that i saw was, the defense would fold up like a tent unless the offense held up their end of the bargain.

i would rather the offense get better as the game progressed as seems to be the case, but the defense play lights out the whole game.

nothings perfect of course....
Never

heard of this ELI guy
Eli is playing possum  
giantranger : 8/28/2014 10:34 pm : link
he wants to see who's insulting him (the media) he'll come out en fuego when the season starts
He needs to stop

being so breakfast in the early parts of each half and be more like mid-afternoon snack.
