For those who don't think Eli is elite, you are crazy. I understand why maybe you wouldn't think so because you haven't seen him play much. I'm a life long Giants fan and I have seen everygame since he came into the league. He wasn't elite until that year he won the superbowl. That was the year he came into his own. But even before that he was a good quarterback. He has always been good late in games and on the road. This year has been something entirely different. He has elevated his game even further. The Giants run game has been terrible this year. And that is putting it lightly. Brandon Jacobs is a complete joke. Bradshaw is ok. Jacobs is way overrated, and I guarantee he is let go at the end of the year. Manning has been carrying the offense to this point. He is incredible on third down. He has been put in 3rd and long all season long. And he always comes through. Manning threw for 4900 yards this year without a run game. He broke the record for 4th quarter touch down passes.
Yes he looks goofy and his body language isn't great but this guy is the real deal. Infact I would take him over his brother in a big game. He is clutch. There are only three guys that anyone can argue he isn't better, and that is obviously Brady, Brees, and Rodgers. But I think he is just as good as those guys now. But that is just me being a homer.
