At this point, would Philly take Eli?

Well that's my question if you were them....you would rather have Eli over Foles no?

Just mentioning this is an obscenity.

He can get them to the Super Bowl, get them down by 4 to the one inch line and throw an INT on the last play with his left hand. I mean everybody else here is crowning them Champions anyway

They would.

I don't think that it would benefit the Eagles to acquire Eli.

That was as a FA and few years and a franchise separating him from the Packers. You see a lot of weird player/team combos late in players' careers when they are hanging on.

Second, there is less chance they would deal him to a division team in serious contention. Third, from an Eagles perspective it would be an interesting decision just because it is so late in the season.

not wearing big blue-colored glasses would consider that an upgrade at QB. Maybe at training camp, but certainly not in week 14.

Eli is not viewed nationally right now with the same reverence or respect that Giants fans have for him.

This is not gimpy Peyton Manning on the Broncos, Eli was never as cerebral as a play caller as Peyton and the Eagles don't have the 2015 Broncos D.

Don't take it so seriously bro, I know it would never happen...just my warped mind thinking

So I guess you're saying he is less than nothing now? I mean if I remember correctly. I don't think I even remember Peyton Manning making one play that whole Super Bowl.

That was my point about the timing in the season. All things equal, Eli is a much better QB than Foles. But, going in to week 14, I don't know what kind of impact would be realistic to expect.

I think he maybe made 1 play in the SB, but if you listen to Mike Tomlin post-game after losing to the Broncos in the playoffs he said on defense they were constantly kept "off balance" and Peyton called one of the best games against his defense that he could ever remember. Pretty much gave Peyton credit for the W.

It would be like trading Sam Huff to the Redskins.

oh wait......

A playoff contender with what was called the best WR corp in the NFL and a promising rookie TE?

I think with the Eagles offensive line, the number two rushing attack in the league, Jeffery and resurrection of Nelson Agholor, I would have confidence in saying Eli could do a tad better than Peyton did in his 2015 "run." Which was...nothing. Ok, cool I like Tomlin but eh like you said, it was that defense that carried him.

You are right the Eagle defense is certainly not the 2015 Denver team. The defense for Philly will struggle against Atlanta, New Orleans and Seattle.

Not like Foles blew anyone's mind in 2013 when he had that 27 to 2 INT ratio, probably the luckiest QBing I've ever seen in my life. That was with McCoy, Desean and the immortal Riley Cooper. Then he came back down to earth and looked less than ordinary in 2014 minus the home-run guy (DeSean Jackson).

the Giants couldn't get a half eaten cheesesteak for ELi

He was born there,top 10 pick from a few years ago,good measurables

Maybe they take the bait

Such a dark time for one of my alltime favorite Giants.

especially those that have been with the team as long as Eli, hate the division rivals as much as we (the fans) do. Thus, this is a silly question since there's no way in hell Eli would waive his NTC to play for that dump!

In reality, most players probably have little "allegiance" to the team (Jacobs notwithstanding!)

I really don't think that is the case with Giants fans at all. In fact, if he hadn't been benched it wouldn't even be close to the case. I think the reaction was to how it went down and not his play.

I think the loyalty does exist. Except, when a team makes it clear to a player that they don't want him anymore, it's perfectly rational for that player to reassess that loyalty, especially when being stubborn about it could cost them money.

Eli's never going to wind up playing for the Eagles, but if the Giants basically laid it down for him and told him he wasn't needed anymore, I wouldn't hold it against him for signing a contract there. He probably wouldn't even need to sell his house in Hoboken.

I think I'm done with football, period.

"I can't wear green." Who backs up Foles? Foles plays tall and throws downhill. He could get injured .

Maybe not all Giants fans, but certainly some.

medical staff to retire because of his knee, he refused, asked for and was given his release. He signed with the Eagles as a FA. Had the Giants traded him there, the building would have been burned down.

?

the Eagles. Eli going there would be a "Jim Jones" type of day

Is a trade deadline you know. Unless you’re just suggesting the giants cut Eli as a favor to the eagles?

He wanted to be paid as a starter the year he rehabbed his knee and the Giants said no and signed him to a 300K physically unable to perform contract. He then had to sign a waiver to play for Philly despite going against the advice of the surgeons who operated on his knee.

Little trivia about Bavaro is he is a published author of a fictional book regarding the NFL

Since he seems to be so in love with Carson Wentz anyway....

Let them have him.... Do we at least get some fresh cones back in return?

I have the book. I read a bit of it and it was okay. The type of book you'd grab for a flight.

.

wish Eli well in whatever he decides to do, wherever he decides to do it. I don't see him going to a division rival but I won't ever hold anything against him. I will always treasure my #10 jersey and the memories of two Super Bowl wins.

That said, I think he is a better QB than Foles but this is just not happening.

Eagles prospects on winning the Superbowl with Foles at work. One of them said Eli Manning won two Superbowls and he isn't that good. What would Eagle fans know about winning a Superbowl?

He's always been good in a dome, and it would give his folks more grandkid time.

Aint happenin' tho.

I love the man, but I'd root against him then, along with Skins or Cowboys.

If he leaves, I hope he goes to Jacksonville or Denver.

With the Chargers.
