What style QB would you like post Eli?

Sean : 12/5/2016 7:02 am
Let me preface this by saying this is obviously not an anti Eli thread or pushing for a QB change. This is just based on the fact that Eli will be 36 going into next season and probably has around 3 solid seasons left.

Also, Cousins, Wentz & Prescott seem to be established as the future QB's of the division.

Would you like a QB similar to Eli, someone who is a little more athletic? We have been so lucky to have such a solid, durable QB for so long and we've been spoiled.

What do you think?

It's still too early in the morning for me.

Another QB like Eli

Maybe minus the one or two WTF throws in the middle of a game. But I'm fine with him.
I'd love another Eli, but what are the chances.

If I had to ask, I'd say someone with a strong arm and mobile. I don't think the Giants are limited to bad OL play, from what I've seen around the league the play of offensive lines is so poor that pocket passers are at a disadvantage, it might be necessary to get someone who can be a threat to take off to force the defense to focus on that (disclaimer: not a knock on Eli).
No question

I covet an athletic, QB who can move the chains with his feet (not so much RGIII or kaepernick, but R. Wilson and A Rodgers type).

Love Eli but he seems to have no athletic instinct or ability whatsoever.
I want an accurate

Passer with a strong arm who stands tough in the pocket and makes smart decisions. I really hope we can find someone soon because if we wait until Eli is done done, we will have to suffer through a 2-14 season to get into a draft position that puts us in position to draft our man. Either that or we'll have to sell the farm to do it. I hope they have a plan.
A tall qb who is accurate with a strong arm

who is very smart and mobile to extend plays and is a team leader.

so probably someone like Aaron Rodgers. I'd say Luck, but he's too injured.

I certainly hope that this was a big theme during the HC interview process. What is your post Manning plan?
