I love Eli like any other big fan. He is the man and a class act. After yesterday's loss, any reasonable person would question how much left Eli has left in the tank. Will he be worth resigning after the recent contract extension ends in 2018(?) Nassib remains as questionable a replacement as ever after the poor preseason with 5 fumbles 3 interceptions and 40% completion percentage. I believe solid quarterbacks can be found between round 3-5 or even later with really solid scouting and coaching. I think we need to target a player that really has the potential to take over, and we need to do it sooner than later. It would be of great benefit to have Ali's replacement learn from the legend himself with a year or two or apprenticing under Eli. I believe Eli can be solid until around when Peyton was until the age of 38-40.
After the big DT hit Manning hard early on, Eli appeared scared in the pocket and made many poor decisions under pressure (two of which cost us the game, exchange one of those picks for fieldgoals and we win) after the initial sack and fumble rattled him. After this year, he has 2 more seasons on his current contract. This is not at all far fetched or unreasonable to discuss.
Actually, any reasonable person would do the exact opposite of this. Literally the exact opposite.
What has the team done the last few years? Do we have the same coach? What does the roster looks like? Does Eli play well? Has he been injured? Are we in position to draft a young QB?
I think you have to realize how stupid your question is.

Don't get me wrong. PISSED about the game ending INT. Besides that? I'm fine with Eli.
Eli Manning Contract - ( New Window )
Not worried about Eli.
Much more concerned about the piss poor tackling and the penalties.
Floyd Patterson?
I bet he's begging the Giants to resign him. Not sure how appealing his balloon tosses are to anybody but us
This guy has actually been around for a while, although he was blessedly dormant for a long time.

Elisha Manning has a lot left in the tank. Don't know about that Elijah guy.

Ya, i know who the chicken is and the egg is too !
No. His handle has quotes in it and the code for this website can't handle it.
Eli did throw a bad pick to end the game - but it isn't like we didn't see him doing that same type of shit in 2005, or 2009, or 2012. That's not a knock on Eli, cause yesterday also showed how awesome he can be as well (at one point, wasn't he like 21/28?).
The overarching point is that yesterday, while a frustrating loss, wasn't anything we haven't seen at times over the course of Eli's carer. It's retarded to question him after that game, not what "any reasonable person would do".
If his arm was shot and he wasn't getting the ball down the field, or he looked like his internal clock was broken, I'd agree with you. Yesterday was the same Eli we've always had (and that's not a negative). Sure, it was a bad game, but it's nothing we haven't seen.
I believe the majority of starting quarterbacks in the league were drafted after round 1, plenty of steals to be had. I don't see anything wrong with scouting out quarterbacks that may be under the radar and able to be snagged in rounds 2-5. I would be happy if we scouted out a potential steal of a 2nd-5th round pick to study under ole Elisha while training to be the future quarterback.
Ultimately, this team has been built to win in the time Eli has left. The front office has been spending more money than ever presumably in an effort to bolster the teams chances with Eli at the helm over the next 3 seasons (or more). Thus, no one wants to think about 4 years down the road when we have a win now football team.
I apologize for the typos made via smart phone, those buttons are just too dam small. I also apologize for making jumping to making this post about 2ish years before it's due which causes much undue stress.
May Ali rest in peace and Mass in find his starting job and payday (doubt he will stay here and i doubt he can really be the future franchise QB).
How does someone watch Eli over the last couple years and start to think he's nearing the end? If Eli has done anything recently, it's show everyone that he still has A LOT left. He made a couple bad decisions yesterday.. big deal. It happens.
I heard some jackass today call the FAN.. claimed to be a Giants fan for 45 years and says "we need to make a change.. this guy keeps throwing games away".. he claimed Tony Romo was "much better", that Nassib would probably be a better alternative and that Eli was barely average.
It's beyond my comprehension what people who hold opinions like this actually see when they watch other NFL games.. or maybe the problem is that they don't.

Isn't this the same jackass who spent last week talking about how Hakeem Nicks needed holistic healing and he'd have been OK, built that all the meds caused him to decline? And didn't he blame painkillers for Nicks' compartment syndrome instead of the hit he took that caused a traumatic leg injury?
The stupidity is very strong here.
so did I , I was was here we go again
