Respectfully it is wished for Eli to set the goal to be more accurate then ever as a passer. We can make it all the way to the Super Bowl.
I have heard several interviews with Eli throughout Pre-Season, he has not mentioned keeping his receivers in safe positions with accuracy. I have never seen Beckham fall like that. He was unable to brace for the tackle due to the ball placement in the air. In the case of Marshall he was wide open on the sidelines and was run right into a defender.
I know Eli is still our franchise QB however, He has to protect Odell Beckham and Brandon Marshall with accuracy. Both guys were Trashed by Eli's high throws. It was not intentional of course, but he must use protection techniques for passes he knows are going to expose the receiver for awkward hits. Its up to Eli to determine that.
We expect the Offensive Line to protect Eli - No Excuses. The receivers depend on Eli to do the same. I'm hoping the injuries to Beckham and Marshall do not become the source of nagging injuries.
I know Eli is a Future Hall of Fame QB. I must say I'm still pissed he trashed both receivers in the same game due to high throws. I know Eli is sacred around here. Its the start of the season and it is important that the receivers stay healthy.
I don't think he really watches Eli, either.
to go to well ..
He went way back with the Giants, used to watch games at the Polo Grounds from the subway platform above the stadium. Cut him some slack, he grew up poor, and he was probably a student at the time.
Anyway, he said he thought Phil Simms used to throw high over the middle on purpose, deliberately endangering his receivers, to make himself look good. (I don't know how that was supposed to make Simms look good, but ok.)
So when I read this, I hear it in my great uncle's angry-Yoda-from-da-Bronx voice.
(My great uncle was actually a remarkable guy, so I don't mean to make fun of him too much. He just had a little bit of a paranoid streak. On another note, he claimed to have gone to Christy Mathewson's last game with the NY Giants. Said he walked up from the Lower East Side with a friend and a beautiful lady gave him and his buddy tickets. True story? Who knows. When he was in his 70s he tried to demonstrate Art Nehf's delivery to show me what was odd about it. Art Nehf pitched for the Giants in the 1920s. I still couldn't tell you what he was trying to show me, but it was amazing to see that short bald guy trying to imitate a pitcher from 60 years earlier.)
What about Accuracy?
In-complete; nin-compoop.
I'm not saying Eli prepares less than those guys, but those guys are just more accurate. Eli demonstrates incredible accuracy at times, but other times he makes shit more difficult for his receivers than need be. And yea, I do blame the O line for that last season, because Eli was constantly shook in the pocket, would rather throw a pick than take a mean hit, and I'm fine with that. That is what has kept him on the field every game since he took over as starter.
A vicious bunch of lemmings piling on this guy's observation.
Bravo. Now go ahead and trash me too.
Yes Eli has a tendency to throw high resulting in tipped balls for INTs but Eli being more accurate does not lead to a straight line to the Super Bowl.
Dumb OP premise.
Understand from the beginning of the season.
ODB and Marshall are considered as a top unit in the NFL. If the ball is thrown risking their ability to catch the ball safely, there will shots taken at them.
It's no time for Non-Sense

I don't think contradict means what you think it means.
Even though my theory is of shit out of horse's ass, my guess is that some posters of the site Big Blue Interactive will actually type that this validity of point is sound.
Understanding in the negative of how this can be, I do not know. Must check Moldovian ethics guide.
The point of key grasping is Eli has trashed his two receivers the best by providing passes that are positionally causing of severe injury. Must be AGGRESSIVE but not throw ball to point of arc where catchers can be injured. This is basic point, like potatoes in famine equal nutrition for all.
1) The DB for the Browns could have tackled Beckham, easily. He went for the knee, intentionally. There's nothing a QB can do about that, if a DB wants to injure a WR that way, he will.
2) There is something about Eli's throws that bother me (and this goes back to his Albany camp days). Eli, when he first came up, didn't have any problem leading his WR's, so that they were still moving forward when catching the ball.
That changed in his second year. Eli seems to throw behind the WR a LOT...to the point where his WR's/TE's/RB's have to stop or reach back to get the ball, slowing them down. That might have been a reaction to some early INT's over the middle, making him go to "safer" throws.
If you look at the hit on OBJ's knee in the Cleveland game...that was actually a really good pass by ELi, other than the fact that OBJ had to leap for it. That's a pass you want your QB to throw.
As a WR, though, you need to know when you're going against a scumbag DC like Greg Williams, who is likely to be all in on injuring other teams players.
Don't ever stop...Classic...
In all the years of watching Eli I can only think of one pass he hung someone out to dry...that was to Boss...
It was a deep(er) pass over the middle...I don't recall against who...
On that play he hung Boss...other than that...I don't see it
