And how do you even evaluate whether he's in decline or not?

His cast of characters on offense is 2003 level bad right now.
You don't think he's lost arm strength?

There has literally never been 1 QB who throws the ball at the age of 36 as hard as he did at the age of 30. It's simply not possible.

You want to say he still throws it hard enough to be a winning/serviceable QB? Sure, but to say he hasn't lost arm strength is a major stretch.
I'm not saying he hasn't....  
Britt in VA : 10/23/2017 9:31 am : link
I'm saying it's not something I've seen regularly in his play.

I still see him fit the ball in tight spots and throw a fairly accurate deep ball.

It's not like he's Peyton with the Broncos out there.
Eli's issue is not arm strength  
family progtitioner : 10/23/2017 9:40 am : link
it's his complete lack of mobility and inability to slide around to avoid pressure. In 2011 he was Brady like in this regard. In 2017 he's Bledsoe like
I think he's at a point in his career where he's not going to be

consistent week after week. He was great in Philly. He certainly played well enough to win in Tampa. He didn't play well against San Diego and that was BEFORE the receivers got hurt. He can't even use the excuse of the running game against the Chargers.

How soon do you realistically think we can get all these pieces around him, namely a few new o-linemen and a RB? I've read people talk about Minnesota, but their highest paid player left in free agency... that's not happening with the Giants.
I think Eli is moving around pretty well out there

He spin to the left, and then scramble to find Engram was pretty good. The issue IMO is the lousy receivers and lack of protection
Reality: Eli Manning will be the starting NYG QB in 2018  
Britt in VA : 10/23/2017 9:52 am : link
I know it's fun to speculate about trade scenarios, physical declines, cutting him, etc...

But barring catastrophic injury (which could happen this year, thanks Reese), he will be the starting QB on opening day next year.

That doesn't mean that we won't draft a Quarterback with our Top 5 pick, it just means that Manning will be here to groom the next QB, whether that's Webb or whomever we draft.

This is Manning's team until his contract is up. That reality needs to be accepted.
Eli  
Sammo85 : 10/23/2017 10:01 am : link
He had some bad throws yesterday. He’s not getting a ton of help. No run game yesterday and shaky receiving corps. But when you make almost 20 million I don’t want to hear excuses.

However he botched several throws yesterday that were clearly on him. Nobody can deny that.

He’s here one more year but I don’t see him here in 2019.
I agree with Britt that Eli will play out contract  
NYSports1 : 10/23/2017 10:16 am : link
But a qb is needed so he can watch Eli for a year and than take over.

This team needs a complete re-haul and you do not do that with an old qb making 20 million a year.

Thank You Eli for the memories and being a great Giant..

But we will only get out from under this mess when the whole team is turned over except a couple of young guys.

We can cry that wait till Eli is gone and see how bad it gets. One you guys do not know that but it has been bad for most of a decade under Eli and TC and MacAdoo. So is not like we are going to miss year in and year out of playoffs
Caught a few minutes of the game

At a bar in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. Apparently I didn't miss much.
If we resign Beckham...  
Knee of Theismann : 10/23/2017 12:23 pm : link
will we have enough money to sign a blue chip OL?
Problem: Our O-line sucks  
SHO'NUFF : 10/23/2017 12:29 pm : link
BBI's solution: get rid of the QB

LOL... you can't make this shit up...
