A 56-10 win over Miami

But he should have been traded in 2015. He had a good statistical year and likely still had value around the league. It should have been anticipated that he was reaching that critical point of diminishing returns.

even with a bad, bad defense?

signed in?

Yeah except that little thing you know the no trade clause

You literally have no clue...

Take? Everyone wants to be like the Patriots, that’s a Patriots move.

Oddly, if he had retired during the bye in 2012, Eli would have been a strong first-ballot Hall of Fame candidate. The last 6 1/2 seasons have added very little to his legacy. Although he has climbed a lot of career stat lists, Eli’s arc since mid-2012 has been more Archie than Peyton.

Results on the field aside, the reality is that Mannings play until the NFL stops paying them. And that’s fine. It’s a business.

It all started to go south the next week, against Pittsburgh.

w/o weighing in OLine collapse

Definitely that 2007 game against Minnesota when he threw 4 picks and 3 of them went back for TD's.

In 2 years.

Trading Eli should have been Crazy Dave's first move. It was obvious to some of us that this team wasn't going to be competitive for at least 3 years. We could have used the extra money and draft picks to start the rebuild sooner.

I wonder how many times it has to be said here that Eli's contract has a no trade clause?

Then again, I guess it helps weed out the people that don't know what they are talking about.

If you don’t believe Giants can win a Super Bowl before Eli is done, it makes little sense for him to be the quarterback this season.

Do you truly believe they can?

Everything since has been a nightmare.
