Eli Manning Is Profoundly Mediocre

Even after Eli Manning’s 200 consecutive regular-season NFL starts, quantifying his career is difficult.

Manning is in his 14th season, and nearly every one has felt like a crossroads. Which quarterback would show up for the Giants: the one capable of winning two Super Bowl MVPs — or the one capable of leading the NFL in interceptions for three seasons?

The answer was probably somewhere in between. Manning has been reliably, and historically, mediocre.

thanks for the memories.

Eli is terrible Â

LG in NYC : 9/18/2017 9:54 pm : link

he is now actually hurting the team.

I know that it's pretty big "if" but if Eli didn't win those Â

Super Bowls he'd be Jay Cutler...maybe. He'd be considered a bust for sure.

Bait Â

unless you guys think his arm has gone bad Â

and there is no evidence that his arm strength has declined, he didn't forget how to play qb or throw passes. This is a bad offense and a bad scheme.

Well don't question Manning's toughness Â

he just took a fucking shot

Reese's OLine nearly got him killed. Â

This shit pissses me off Â

He's a winner and he's tough as nails. Would you rather be like the Bills or Browns who have had 15 or more QBs since Manning stepped on the field? Jesus.

Detroit has a pretty bad OL too, and you can see how an average Â

athlete like Stafford can do to help the protection. Unfortunately we have Eli. Eli is great, his history here is unquestioned, but we know he has limitations.

Reese and this idiot coach know that too I am sure. How come we don't construct this team to hide his deficiencies and enhance his strengths is truly beyond me.

You forgot unqualified HC. He was barely qualified to be an OC.

How people don't see it's pretty much OBJ is amazing. He doesn't coach well. But hey. Mara and Stevie love him. Great.
