and then finally tells us what he thinks of what this front office did for him after the 2011 season....
He wouldn't, but an actually honest, sincere and open book from him about his career would be a great read.
Again, never would happen though. He wouldn't let anyone in that way, possibly backstab anyone (even if they'd deserve it), or potentially damage the Manning brand.
Eli is the cause for most of his problems. How many times has Eli thrown an interception or fumbled late in a game?
Early in his career this was acceptable, because the offense was more risk/reward.He is a 14 year vet, still screwing up the end of games, lately San Diego and Seattle. Don't even get me started about 2015.
Hopefully, he will see the end of the road. It is this year. He will not get better.
He is still making the same mistakes he did as a rookie. Go out with grace.

When Tom Brady throws an interception, is he making thes ame mistake he made as a rookie? All quarterbacks throw interceptions and have fumbles, it's not like Eli is the only guy out there.
Yes, Eli has plenty of blame to go his way for some very bad individual plays that wrecked games- especially in the time since his last Super Bowl appearance. There are also plenty of plays where the interception was a tip off of his WR's hands, or poor blocking resulted in a free rusher knocking the ball out of Eli's hands.
I mean, look at the OL he has in front of him and the wide receivers on the field right now. I'm not sure how much more you can realistically expect.
the field after another 3 and out. "Same formations 99.7% of the time. Poor play designs. Ya, our offense keeps opposing DCs awake at night- mostly because they are laughing their asses off all night seeing how easy it is to defend!"
but play like I am 40. The guy up I-95N is 40, but plays
like he is 36! Since I am starting to suck, maybe I should
think about retirement, like big 'bro.

Good throws make it harder to defend, imo. He's missed a significant number of plays on bad over/under throws to WRs who beat coverage.
this defense kept us in the game for three quarters.
The offense, for a lot of games over the last few years, routinely go 3 and out, putting the D right back in the game.
It's been a long time since this offense has routinely taken control when holding a lead. It's typically a lot of 3 and outs, putting the D back on the field. We blame the D a lot for an inability to hold a lead, but when they've been doing the lions share for keeping us in the game, sometimes they're so tuckered out, from the O going 3 and out for a lot of the game, it's hard to get too down on them.
The O has a lot of blame to face up to. With this O it takes a heroic effort on the part of the D to even sniff at the possibility of a W. that's been the case even before all the top half of the WR corp went down.
You can't be fucking serious..maybe just another dimbulb...
You do realize without a running game its hard to hold a lead...?
They can pressure with 4 so that leaves 7 in coverage virtually all game...
And he has had historically bad defenses for much of his career...

Thanks...hopefully Eli reads this...advice like this is priceless especially coming from a HOF athlete like yourself...
This is what is so great about this place...experts like you with extensive knowledge of football, sports and well life in general...
RE: As a side note I can't think of one team that would want
Eli and his 20 million dollar contract. There is no future with him. He likely hopes to play out his deal with the Giants and retire.
It is not a $20MM/yr contract. The signing bonus pushes his cap hit to $22MM and $23MM for 2018 and 2019. But his salary and bonuses for 2018 is $16MM and $17MM for 2019. If he were to be traded, we get to eat the signing bonus. The new team would only be on the hook for his salary/bonus structure for 2018 and 2019. Now, people can argue whether they think he is worth $16MM/yr, but when the likes of Glennon sign for $14MM/yr, I suspect Eli getting paid $16MM looks alot better for a contender. Besides, he has a NTC and has no incentive to waive it. If the Giants release him before his roster bonus is due next year, then they can save the salary/bonus and designate him as a June 1st cut spreading the cap hit over 2 years.
