So are all the wins and losses irrelevant throughout the league? Should we just start watching the NFL in mid-December?

Nobody is suggesting that Nassib or anyone else start in place of Eli. The mere mention of Eli struggling brings out the moronic commentary and hysteria from the lunatic fringe. Evidence is ample in this thread alone... cry me a river.

This is a true and false statement. While not all officers lean left, proportionally, more officers lean left than enlisted.

You mean the people who are overreacting and calling him done? Those people are the sane and rational ones, right?

I especially love the poster who said Eli is not mobile in the pocket even though it's the one trait people all agree that Eli moves well within the pocket.

Despite the fact that there have been posters this week suggesting that Nassib should get a spot start in place of Eli so he can rest (most of them speculate we should give him the London week off), there hasn't been the "mere mention" of Eli struggling.

If has been a cascade of posts saying eli is essentially done, or that he's hurt, or that he's in rapid decline, or that he's skittish and a pussy, or that he's mentally screwed up from taking hits (one poster called it the David Carr effect). Multiple posters have said the days of eli carrying the team are over. some have said his body language of all things proves he's not mentally in it.

These aren't mere mentions - these are pretty strong accusations said with a near certainty of being true.

(And we have better beer).
wait, it's ridiculous to suggest that he's on the decline?  
Greg from LI : 10/14/2016 12:22 pm : link
Why is that?

I can agree with you on any silly posts about starting Nassib, but I'm going to have to part company on this one. A soon to be 36 year old quarterback who has just had two horrid games back to back very well might be on the downslope. Nothing outrageous about that.

He may as well be on the decline. But he had two very good years thr last 2 and he started off the year very well. A lot of us are hoping it's a slump and one good game will snap him out of it.
Greg..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 10/14/2016 12:25 pm : link
there have been some reasonable posts suggesting his best days are behind him. I think that's a fair question.

I'm mentioning the ones saying he's in a steep decline and we need to draft his replacement next year. Funny, because we didn't see any of those suggestions after week 2.

There's a difference between the expected wonderment at when he's going to be aging and those saying he's aging now, not normally, but with Progeria.

Understood. You’re a sharp guy so I imagine you arrived at your refurbished worldview via reason & due deliberation.

Fascinating developments in the world of political repositioning. Not always/necessarily good, either. I’ve alluded to this before: give up a little now or a lot later. The younger generation(s), for instance, feel cheated, are cynical, and are alarmingly willing to countenance a wild overcompensation by, say, septuagenarian political Santa Clauses (among others).

I won’t elaborate lest the site owner & his banhammer squad fuck my shit up.

What competent football authority has ever lauded Eli Manning's ability to move well in the pocket? Eli is excellent at releasing the ball quickly to avoid contact, but when he holds onto the ball, he has balls batted down, fumbles makes Napoleon Dynamite look like Fred Astaire. Hell... Eli has fumbled several times just because he couldn't decide whether to slide, or wait for them to foam the runway.
