Eli on track for some of the best numbers of his career

CMicks3110 : 10/23/2018 10:17 pm
4700 yards, 69% completion percentage, 95 quarterback rating;

There has to be a market for him for teams like Jax, Baltimore, Tennessee, Tampa

He's probably the least mobile QB  
kelsto811 : 10/23/2018 10:20 pm : link
In the NFL. Teams are looking at tape, not stats. On top of that...Eli would have to agree to a trade.
the denial runs deep

LOL!

He has 7 tds in a fantasy football format that is the NFL today. He is playing like shit.
Baltimore???  
bradshaw44 : 10/23/2018 10:30 pm : link
They have their QB of the future. They just used a first round pick on him.
baltimore?

really?
Yeah

a QB that can't break 30 points in one game in the last two years.
Garbage time

is a great thing
The QB  
mdthedream : 10/23/2018 10:31 pm : link
that starts for Baltimore is better Flacco.
the problem is  
japanhead : 10/23/2018 10:31 pm : link
his TD numbers. he's on pace for the lowest of his career.
Baltimore  
ajr2456 : 10/23/2018 10:35 pm : link
Has Flacco and Lamar Jackson.

Jameis has played well for Tampa since he got back.

2 of the 3 are better than Eli right now.
Yeah what does that come out to  
mdthedream : 10/23/2018 10:36 pm : link
16tds for the year :)
Garbage time stats

Not sure if that's something to brag about, but..
3 Reasons  
TD : 10/23/2018 10:45 pm : link
1) Shurmur’s Offense is very QB friendly

2) Garbage time.. lots of it

3) He’s got two of the best weapons he’s ever had and one-two other solid targets.
We've come full circle.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 10/23/2018 11:18 pm : link
When eli wasn't putting up pretty stats, BBI didn't care about numbers.

We’re very fortunate...

I’m very bullish on signing him to a three year extension.

This board is full of idiots that think garbage stats matter. What were the stats while the game was on the line?
There has perhaps  
hassan : 10/23/2018 11:36 pm : link
never been a better example of lying with statistics than what Eli Manning is doing right now. Maybe Blake Bortles when he threw 31tds a few years ago.

I think a telling thing would be to break his efforts down by his stats when the game is within 1 score vs more than 1 score.

I think you will see a very different look to numbers if you view through that prism.
Numbers lie...  
chilly460 : 10/23/2018 11:37 pm : link
As others have stated, lot of garbage time yardage and TDs in those stats. He had 150yds against prevent D in the 4th quarter on Sunday.

His first half stats for year 866yds and 2TD, 2nd half 1195yds and 5TD. He also has 463yds and 4 of his TD in the final 2min of a half in games this year.

Lot of padded stats
How many yards receiving  
mattyblue : 10/23/2018 11:45 pm : link
does Barkley have? The YAC on the nonstop checkdowns can inflate things. Also, as others have mentioned a lot of garbage time stats.
I agree , QB play could be better, but I don't get ....  
Manny in CA : 10/24/2018 12:27 am : link

The "garbage time" narrative.

The game was winnable at the end. The two Eli sneeks ate up precious seconds.

The Giants have won (and lost) miracle ending games. It's not impossible.
Garbage  
Toth029 : 10/24/2018 3:11 am : link
Time stats like the downfield passing in the 3rd quarter.

I'm an Eli fan but I know he's at the end of his rope. I also recognize he's not at completely fault like many here like to suggest. Barkley had poor numbers vs. ATL, is it his fault or the line? Can't go one way here.
A good thing some of the Eli apologists are not running this team  
joe48 : 10/24/2018 4:44 am : link
Eli is the elephant in the room at this point. How much dead money do we take a hit for next year or is it an option?

When Eli Started Out 8 for 8...  
Jim in Tampa : 10/24/2018 5:14 am : link
And I was thinking, how can a team with no turnovers and a QB that has hit on his first 8 passes, also have NO POINTS?

Please don't tell me that he's having a great year. He's the QB and his team is not putting up points or winning games.

Touchdowns to win.
Stats are for losers  
Rick in Dallas : 10/24/2018 6:11 am : link
Most important stat to Eli is WINS
1-6 is the only stat that matters  
Les in TO : 10/24/2018 6:19 am : link
And Eli’s lack of ability to avoid pressure and make plays off schedule is a major reason. Garbage time stats and check downs are a big reason his stats look good

We had six points with five minutes remaining against the worst defense in the league. Pathetic
As someone has said

Eli's an add oner
Anyone  
crick n NC : 10/24/2018 6:59 am : link
That knows anything about football on the offensive side knows one player wins games and loses games for that matter. So if each offensive singular player wins the game by himself for that respective game then the offense of singular players has the ability to score infinite 🌀 points therefore rendering the opposing defense of singular players useless. However if the defense of singular players responds with each of their players winning the game by themselves then I believe what occurs is what a computer operating system refers to as an illegal operation.



Now this illegal operation may trigger what experts claim as a frozen game, which leads no choice but to restart the game.

I actually saw a bunch of 5-3 fronts (8 in box). I'm assuming that's how they planned to limit Barkley.

rocco8112 : 10/24/2018 7:56 am : link
performance on Monday makes me think he could contribute and compete in the league. In fact, if you switched QB's on Monday, Eli could almost certainly have won the game with the Falcons.

Eli is no longer a franchise status QB for the Giants. He is not the answer here anymore. Crazy thing is, he must have been pretty valuable all these years since his collapse has also resulted in the collapse of the entire franchise.

No, if they switched QBs, Ryan would still win. This is not a knock on Eli. Ryan can move and the Giants had as much pressure on Ryan as Atlanta had on Eli. 4 sacks vs 3 sacks. Ryan was able to avoid the pressure better and made a lot of plays under pressure that Eli could not and did not. Again. not a knock on Eli. Ryan just moves better and that advantage was the difference.
He's on track...

Ryan was able to avoid the pressure better and made a lot of plays under pressure that Eli could not and did not. Again. not a knock on Eli. Ryan just moves better and that advantage was the difference.


Ryan made some hot read throws, onr I remember in particular where he was back pedaling and threw hot when the Giants sent pressure including a safety blitz. Ryan looked pretty ordinary or bad when the Giants had pressure early. The final three quarters he could have set up a bed and breakfast as he completed at least 17 in a row with good protection. Eli could certainly have matched that.

I think if Eli was a Falcon they win and if Ryan was on the Giants the Giants likely lose the same way.

Giants biggest problem, STILL, on offense is the inability to get an consistency in pass protection and being the worst run blocking team in the NFL. Giants get to the red zone and the opposition drops everyone back clogging up the short field. They do not need to do anything to stop the run or get a TFL on a running play.

Playing the Giants is like half a bye week for the other team. No effort physically or schematically is needed to stop the run or win in the trenches when the Giants have to the ball
A very fascinating stat  
hassan : 10/24/2018 1:58 pm : link
while this is Eli's best qb rating, espn qbr which factors when you get your stats has him at his second worst qbr of his career other than 2013. Ouch. Speaks volumes.

If you look at the qbr rating it also suggests Eli played his best ball between 2009-2012. Seems right to me.

good post because its correct...

at least there is the vindication the Eli skeptics were right. Small consolation. But given some of the arrogance of the pro Eli crowd, quite frankly somewhat enjoyable. Amazing some of these posters are doubling down on the same tired line about his ability to be effective elsewhere.

Overshadowed by the mess. But this week was the beginning of what they have needed to do for a long time, actual honest rebuild. Finally.
BTW  
hassan : 10/24/2018 2:09 pm : link
I would have loved to eat my words and have Eli shock the world.

And I don't wish any ill on him whatsoever. Wish he was still a great starter.

I also don't worship him and we don't need an extended goodbye party. One or two more starts is good enough. Preserve an over 500 record. Lets move on.

Is it arrogance on our part? I mean for the most part many of us have argued that the supporting cast has been inferior for years. So our consolation is seeing the trash being cut or traded and not have any success leaving the team proves us right too.

You look at the Randles, Tyes, Donnells, Flowers, Jennings, and a whole shit load of others who are either riding the pine or out of the NFL together - it goes to show we were right too.

Eli best days are long gone. I think what we are seeing is that everyone was right in one form of another.
no you were not right

not at all. but if it makes you feel better- sure.
every team has a bad guy here and there ---- lots of teams have mediocre number 2 WRs- and such. who cares though.
you were sh$tting on every person who saw he was declining 3+ years ago... and now are acting like you are calling for change cause its the right time now, and starting threads about it trying to sound unbiased and rational- convincing yourself in your brain that you arent late to a very depressing party that has been going on for some time
Yes hassan, mostly annoyed at Front Office as this was a colossal  
Jimmy Googs : 10/24/2018 2:25 pm : link
mistake from the get-go and they should know better. You don't "kind of" restructure...you do it deep, fast and without emotion to what was. Otherwise, it is subject to simply failing and wasting time and money.

As a fan I am disappointed...if I was an equity shareholder looking at this team as a business, I would be pissed.

Regarding the arrogance of the defenders of the faith on here, I agree its expected. Have you noticed the tone changes and pivots each week since early September as they looked for parachutes. Here are some...

Eli can't win behind THIS line.
Underestimated how bad this TEAM was.
Shurmur's offense doesn't FIT our QB.
A QB would not have made us any better.
What would would be our record if we didn't have Barkley.
Eli is NOT ALLOWED to throw long.

And now, the defenders want to argue that these moves are part of the Plan, or some new adjusted plan I guess. What a crock of shit. They are just giving up and this is the next easiest move they can execute...a round of applause please.

A mess indeed...
