Eli, get your earplugs on! Cancel your Internet and newspapers, too!

is the sky on this moron’s planet?anyone who just watched the highlights of the jets game knows that if the wr’s hang on to the ball,eli leaves the game 12 of 15 with 3 td’s of over 60 yds.fans gnashing their teeth at the wr’s, not eli,and beleive me ,i’m no eli lover!

He has the perfect disposition for a QB, particularly one playing in NY. Like any QB, he has his weaknesses. He throws high at times. He can’t run (although he’s surprisingly elusive in the pocket.) The chemistry with him and his young receivers seems to be improving. I’m sure it will get better over time.
I’d like to see him improve on windy days at home. (A lot of that depends on game planning.) He has no problem with frigid temps alone, and that’s a plus.
I don’t see how you can argue that he isn’t at least among the top ten QBs in the NFL, which is plenty good enough to lead a team to an SB win. Considering the size of the contract he was given, you’ve got to believe that more knowledgable football guys than any BBVer believe he’s beter than that, or will be.

Eli’s disposition/personality are right on..When Eli first came in he drove me nuts..I thought he looked like a deer in headlights..When he called a timeout he would walk to the sidelines vs. hustle over..(He still does)..but then over time I began to see simply a kid with nerves of steel..calm, cool and collected…Another great trait is the fact that he is an “under the radar guy” off of the field..He married his college sweetheart, and his idea of off-field recreation is going out with his Mom antique hunting. His answer when asked about how much he liked NY nightlife was: “Oh I can see the City from my condo”…You’ll never read about him going out partying with a gun stashed in his undies. His Super Bowl performance and subsequent MVP honors, didn’t swell his head one bit..He, when asked simply said: “that was in the past, we need to look towards the future”…He is a perfect fit for NY..We can become impatient and will at times, but it definitley won’t faze him at all. He does have to work on his mechanics (tending to throw too high, and withstanding windy conditions) but that will come, afterall his brother has always said Eli has a stronger arm..Now that is an endorsement!! His patience will bring the recievers up to speed quickly and build their confidence. Any impatience on our part as fans is a mute point.

Huge Giant fan, but that trade to get Eli for Rivers and bunch of high draft picks is one of the worst moves in years!

where is ray handley? I wanna know where to buy KGs’ bus ticket when we pass on 3rd and 11/2!

He told one interviewer he has no idea where that story came from. But, I know what you’re sayin’. Eli’s a good guy. He’s not a saint, though, and enjoys himself as much as any guy. The guy does have patience and nerves of steel.

Any chance of this article being forwarded to SNY? Can’t stand those gossip girls over there. Guarantee, they’ll be the first to start screeching when the Giants have an ugly game.

would disagree..

I’m convinced G-men with get another trophy under Coughlin/Manning era.

I think thats what the Sports Media want to Invision happening. JAson cole and the Like. He and the others who can only be right if the Giants Offense DOES fail. I Think Any Real Giants Fan, Myself included, Knows that The Giants Passing Offense is Starting from Scratch. I think Any Real giant Fan Knows that You can not expect Eli, WHo i love, but is not a GREAT passing QB, to carry the Load alone. I Think That if the Giants Offensive Passing attack starts slow, ITs not Eli who will bare the Brunt of It.. It is Jerry Reese, For not adding a Experienced pair of Hands, when There were a good Number of Them available. That Said, I like what Jerry Reese has done. I think that Between Manningham, Nicks, Barden, Smith, Hixson, Moss… One, if not 2 of those guys, all who are VERY talented pass catchers, will Emerge as Eli’s Go to Receiver. But, I can’t Expect it to happen, because none of them have ever done it before, which is part of what bothers me about this whole argument. Jerry Rice was not Jerry Rice, Till he Became Jerry Rice.. Neither was LArry Fitzgerald, Or Steve Smith, Or Andre Johnson…. I mean, Can the Giants Receiving Corp Actually FAIL, before the Press Calls it a Failure. IT seems to me that alot of this is more about Writers calling something negatively or Positively LONG before they should, simply so they can be able to say See, i told you so

I must admit..I was a bit miffed that the Giant’s traded Rivers..and that Archie refused to have his Son play in San Diego..but they do have a perennial nutcase owner..I was a big Rivers fan when I lived in Raleigh I saw all his games..We even have a signed football from when he played for NC State.I am happy he got his payday also..Now I’ve learned to appreciate Eli..He’s a calm, solid QB..and he has one thing McNabb hasn’t yet accomplished, a Championship and MVP honors (which one could argue belonged to David Tyree)..I wouldn’t be surprised to see Vick in there at QB before long..but with this “Dogshit” he did, he will get hammered wherever they play and may very well pull a Vince Young deal. I applaud the Eagles for giving Vick a second chance and for McNabb lobbying for him..but McNabb has already lodged a complaint to the Coaching staff that he is disrupting the offensive flow..So, I predict a very erratic, confused Philly season this year.

when every year they want to run their own QB out of Philly. Eli has won a Super Bowl, and all we hear is that the defense won the game.

The defense kept us in the game and then protected the lead. The score was 7-3 until the fourth quarter, when the Pats took the lead Eli and the offense drove the length of the field and reclaimed the lead.

What has McNabb produced?

2001 McNabb ended his day 18-of-30 171 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT, the INT ended the game and gave Warner and the Rams a trip to the Super Bowl.

2002 McNabb ended his day 26-of-49 for 243 yards, 1 TD and also 1 very costly Pick 6 by Ronde Barber in the final minutes of the game that gave a team that never won a game in temperatures under 40 degrees a trip to the Super Bowl.

2003 McNabb ended his day just 10-of-22 for 100 yards and 3 INT.

2004 McNabb ended his day 30-of-51 for 357 yards, 3 TD, 3 INT, and pukes in the Super Bowl.

2008 McNabb ended his day 28-of-47 for 375, 3 TD and 1 INT, but was outdone by Warner’s 21-of-28 for 279 yards, 4 TD and Fitzgerald’s 9 catches 152 yards and 3TD.

When the game is on the line, unfortunately McNabb falls short. I’ll take Eli’s emergence and production on the two minute drill over McNabb’s any day.

Has anything Eli done in the past 5 years shown you he will not be patient or be able to handle the criticism of playing in NY? The guy has an unflappable demeanor and always handles himself with the right attitude. I doubt very much that the Giant fans will shake Eli while the team finds its play makers this season.

*Jersey number changes: Hakeem Nicks will move from the No. 18 he has worn this preseason to No. 88, which had been worn by Michael Matthews the past two seasons; Jeff Feagles goes from No. 17 back to No. 18; and Leger Douzable goes from No. 78 into No. 90.
