Maybe Eli should consider retiring

jeffusedtobeonwebtv : 3/13/2019 4:00 pm
Didn't Archie say that Eli was tired of playing on a team that was not competitive? And now it looks like the front office wants them to be like the Knicks, only competing for the top of the draft.

And wouldn't another losing season put Eli's career number under .500? Is that how he wishes to be remembered?

Yes, it would leave money on the table, but I'm sure he is well set for life and has numerous opportunities to make more money.
LOL @ a Manning leaving

Oh man

if they didn't trade for Zeitler this would be a great conspiracy theory.

We know you won't take a pay cut and we are scared of fan backlash. Have fun with this new team!
How many years of top

Retire????

Did you say retire?

He's about to get a $50M extension.

yeah... lol because poor Eli does not have Odell.

The shit people come up with around here. Eli did not play with Odell for the majority of his career including 16 of the last 32 games. I think Eli will be just fine throwing to whoever is out there.

I keep seeing this all the time. Is there a specific incident leading to the contention that ELI/Peyton/Archie are abnormally greedy?
Gee, ya' think?

If he stays one more year  
Beer Man : 3/13/2019 4:16 pm : link
he gets paid $23M to play a game he loves for a team he loves. Do you really think he is going to retire?
With all the draft picks  
Giant John : 3/13/2019 4:20 pm : link
We will certainly need his leadership. Hope he stays.
No - I am sure he is retarded  
Bob in Newburgh : 3/13/2019 4:24 pm : link
and has never given it a thought.
Locker room?  
MojoEd : 3/13/2019 4:37 pm : link
I don’t think Maras give a rip, but I expect some players are going blame Eli for OBJ getting ticket out of town. Is this going to hurt chemistry and Eli’s position as a leader? If I was a young player I would not be psyched that OBJ is gone in favor of Eli.

Platos : 3/13/2019 4:41 pm : link
this video helps put things in perspective. Eli is a pro. don't be surprised if with a better line, he plays better overall even without OBJ.
eli not declining as much as we think - ( New Window )

Duuuuh! I think BBI needs more threads on Eli. Many more.
When the time comes he will leave. Then we can go into QB hell, just like when Simms left. It won't matter who or when it is. The Giants will automatically be blamed for it by all the ignorant fans, either way it happens. and mostly by the same fans. Careful what you wish for.

Yeah, that's definitely not happening. He's our 2019 QB, I think that's almost a given.
I don't think the Giants will cut Eli  
Bramton1 : 3/13/2019 5:09 pm : link
But he should consider retirement. I love Eli. I have four different Eli jerseys. If we're tanking the season, I'd be fine with the Farewell Tour.

But at the moment, it appears likely that the Giants are going to be trash, whether it's with Eli, Rosen, Haskins, Murray, Tom Brady, etc. Eli's Hall of Fame credentials have already taken a hit due to the last few years. Put him on a 2-14 team in his last year, and they'll be destroyed.
Without saying anything  
adambear : 3/13/2019 5:13 pm : link
and simply by his play and the ramifications of the team believing he still has years left, Eli has put a huge negative mark on his legacy to Giants fans.

Ditto. I love the guy. Always have and always will.
I'm positive he has "considered" it  
bc4life : 3/13/2019 9:24 pm : link
What would he want to stay in NY? Would he even be wanted? If he left NY - where would he cosider playing?
Leave Eli and everything else aside  
Hsilwek92 : 3/13/2019 9:33 pm : link
Look at it this way, if you had a contract in which you had $5m coming to you, would you leave it on the table?

SFGF...it was an honest question. Please sate my curiosity.

Tom Condon will not leave a cent on the table. He's ferocious. And I say that as somewhat of a compliment. He goes to the mattresses for his clients.
It everyone says “a Manning” as if they are known for their personal

Avarice. I’m just wondering where that’s coming from.
