All this speculation and all that... I’m curious what the majority of Cowboys fans think.
I wanted to make this a poll but couldn’t figure out how. HahaI will say NO.
are you going to tally the no's and yes's ?? keep a running total,
maybe should be a poll?
I'll give you 2007, but you can definitely make the case in 2011. Did you see the Giants' absolutely ridiculous regular season strength of schedule from that year? Sheesh. Especially when you factor in home/aways. Regarded as one of the toughest SoS ever.
For example. Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees also had career years in 2011, but how'd they do in the playoffs? Also they had piss easy RS schedules. The Giants had to go through the NFCE bloodbath, beat the Patriots in foxboro, play the Saints at the superdome, the 49ers on the road, the Packers, literally all the best teams in the NFC the gauntlet just to get to 9-7 and win it all. I know we all don't like the Giants but that was a truly incredible run.I don't know, man. I don't see it. Any other top QB from any timeframe has a MUCH more impressive career year than Eli's 2011. Usually a bunch of years that good or better, not just a single one. I don't buy it at all.

Regardless. If there's no Zeke in week 1, week 1 will look a lot like week 1 in 2016, just without that *one* Zeke score halfway thru the 3rd.Was an incredible run - no question about it. That's a team achievement, however. To me that's independent of Eli's own claim to a top 5 QB spot. A 4 game sample size is simply not large enough for me and in any large sample size (i.e. season, seasons, entire career) he has proven to be middling at best.

He already is a very rich man. So is Dak, realistically, even if he blows out his knee this Saturday (like Bridgewater did in '16) and never plays another snap.Yeah, I'm not sure how we highjacked this thread into an Eli Manning one. Strange. Here's to hoping Zeke comes to his senses and realizes he'll be a very rich man regardless.

No.
I think his days in Dallas are finished and he can thank his agent.
