Eli Manning has not won a single postseason game in 66 months, about the same amount of time it took Tolstoy to write "War and Peace." Manning is 36, and the New York Giants have acknowledged preparing for life without him. For the first time they have drafted a quarterback, Davis Webb, who could be a legitimate threat to take Eli's job. Manning's 51.8 Total QBR last season ranked 27th in the league, five spots behind Brock Osweiler and four behind Colin Kaepernick. Manning ranked 17th, 14th, and 27th in his three preceding seasons. What does this all mean? Eli Manning has you right where he wants you in 2017. |
Marshall said Manning will emerge from the showers wearing only a towel and suddenly start giving him signals for calls at the line of scrimmage. "He's probably the most detailed quarterback I've been around," said the 12-year veteran.
run a post pattern to the sauna!
Not me. I knew what we had in mid to late 2005. Defended him constantly as an up n coming young QB that was winning games. As he won more and more the cries lessened but even now fans still critique this guy as if he needs to justify his play.
IN short, many fans are dumb.
To my eyes, Eli has not deteriorated at all. The Oline simply does not provide enough time for him to throw a pass and go through his progressions.

You have me by 2 years. Eli started to BECOME special to me after the 38-35 loss to the undefeated Pats in '07 regular season-ender
Probably the easiest talking point of Eli's last contract. If we traded you the fans will burn the place down. Hell the Giants probably just threw it in for him, out of respect. I'm kinda joking of course, business is business, but unlike a lot of players I'm sure it wasn't too hard to accept that clause.
Good article. Thanks, gidiefor.
Could of used you in the "Eli playing until 40" thread when I said the same exact phrase and got lambasted for it

Greatest Giant ever.

Sorry man, would have been there for you if could have been there for you. But I'm firmly established around here with my "Eli is the greatest Giant" ever claim. LT is a still the best football player ever, but he's a huge stain on the organization character wise. Eli's as good as it gets in a pro athlete. Don't know him personally, but he seems like a fine human being as well. I intend to enjoy every single minute that's left of his career. Pretty sure I won't live to another Giant as great as Eli.

1000%. Basically what i was saying in the other thread, summed up more nicely by you.
I fear he will be under intense pressure this season as we cannot run the football. Any team that does not max pressure us are foolish.

Don't get me wrong I wasn't guaranteeing future greatness mid 2005 or saying he was a lock to win one let alone two SB titles but I thought the heat he was taking from fans was unfair. He was winning and producing. You can't expect a young QB to come in and dominate no matter how highly he was touted or drafted.

Gilbride said he has seen no discernible deterioration in Manning's skills, and unequivocally believes Eli has a third ring in him.

Been saying that all last regular season and this offseason.
He's the same guy. Everything around him has changed. His stats even reflect it other than his TD numbers being down a tad.
