in the same way everyone spoke about Farve late in his career. And I agree with it. Eli has earned the right to make mistakes, but they are still inexcusable.
This sounds pretty stupid, I know, but he needs to be benched. Benching him is the only way to tell him thats its inexcusable. Laugh all you want. Eli can say all the right things "Its on me", "I'm accountable" blah blah, but then expect to go out their again with a clean slate.
Bench him for one series and the whole dynamic changes. Talk doesn't keep you on the field. And if he can't keep himself on the field, he and his agent are going to have a pretty tough time negiotiating an extention.
Who here remembers how much Parcells would get in Simms' face, even after he was an established Pro-Bowler/Superbowl MVP who knew how to say all the right things?
That's something I've been saying all offseason. If he is still doing the same ole Eli crap, he needs to sit on the bench for a while. He looks way too comfortable walking back to the bench with that awe shucks look on his face.
One thing that made Joe Montana one of the best QBs ever was after he got benched for Young. After he got benched a couple times, they came back to him and he was lights out. Sometimes players need to be motivated and I think Eli is one of those players.
Why should anyone believe that what they have seen all preseason from this team and its QB is just a mirage. The team has two consecutive bad seasons and now a mediocre preseason and yet anyone being critical is characterized as negative and an alarmist. Actually, no matter what happens in the upcoming season the effort this preseason has been pathetic. Injuries, age and inexperience all combining to produce three poor performances. So let's hope that the optimists are right. Let's hope that it's just a matter of time before Spags' defense kicks in. Let's hope that it is just Eli being preseason Eli and not a return to 2013. But let's not trash anyone who chooses to judge based upon their eyes and not their heart.
if he looked like a square peg in the new offense, I think there's a good chance we were going to move on. IMO we got confirmation from the year Eli put in that 2013 was an outlier season. That 2013 season was single handedly destroyed by an OL that was rotting from the interior. How long does it last? I have no idea. I hope we get creative with the contract so both sides feel like they won. Eli should make Rivers/Ben type of money.

ELI PLAYED VERY WELL LAST YEAR
Eli had a slightly above average year last year, although it was one of his best. If one of the top 3 QBs in the league, Brady, Peyton or Rodgers had a year like his, the writers would be asking if this is the end of their careers. Everybody is holding their breath for him to snap out of it with his full speed mediocrity
