Eli Manning = BUST?

[EPL0c0]

Is it too early to break out the annointing oil and dub Eli Manning a bust?

He's 5-8 in December. What's he gonna do next year without Tiki Barber?

Can Dallas look forward to an Eli-free season next year?

 

[Rampage]

yes he is. everybody go get eli jerseys but take off the manning and put "bust" on the back

He needs a coach that can get his players to perform. They knew they are dead and gave up a while ago. Tiki leaving at the peak of his game? They laid down on the coaching staff.

If you subtract his 55 yard TD on like the first play of the game, here's his stats today...against a thoroughly mediocre defense at home!

8/24 for 19 yards and Zero TDs, 1 Int

Neither Payton nor Romo will ever or have ever had that bad a game!

Even w/ the TD, it's 9/25 for 74 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT!

Eli Manning deserves everything he gets.

He's playing terrible and he is less than inspiring to his teammates.

All you have to do is look at the guy and tell there isn't much going on behind those droopy eyes. He's just riding his daddy's and Peyton's meager coat tails.

Well, his receivers did drop the ball alot.

I think Eli's problem is that he started too early. He's one young QB who would have benefited by learning on the bench for one or two years.

Not too good. lol

I couldn't agree with you more.

Eli Manning. This guy is a joke. The San Diego Chargers braintrust is falling all over the floor laughing.

Manning, a 6-4, 218-pounder, was the first player selected in the draft, by the San Diego Chargers, a team Manning had said he did not want to play for. A little while later, the Giants selected North Carolina State quarterback Philip Rivers with the fourth pick in the draft. The two teams then engineered a trade, with the Giants sending Rivers, their third-round pick in this draft (No. 65 overall), and first and fifth-round picks in the 2005 draft to the Chargers for Manning.
Lmao, plus Eli gets 50 million.

 

[romo4pres]

meager coat tails? No id say their coat tails are quite robust!

that said..yea..eli is overrated..

 

[Jimz31]

Manning....it's a family tradition to NEVER win a superbowl.

What is ridiculous is to see WHO the Chargers got via this trade.

if his name was Eli Smith son of Archie Smith (pharmacist) and Peyton Smith (milkman), he'd have been a 2nd round pick at best.

I bet San Diego surely doesn't mind being STUCK w/ Phillip Rivers right now

If you like empty stats.....then yeah, Archie and Peyton are your guys.

I don't think Eli's even going to be good enough to rack up empty stats.....let alone a Super Bowl.

 

[superpunk]

Didn't you hear?

He "arrived" earlier this year.

Yep....a family name can get you quite far in the NFL...and alot of times pedigree doesn't mean anything. Occasionally, it means something, but more often than not....

empty stats on peyton? umm...i demand to hear an explanation..

 

[Concord]

If he's not a Bust at this point...He's as close as it gets.

And I might add that he is at the magical three year mark.

Ummmm yeah when Peyton figures out how to lead his team to a Super Bowl.....wake me up.

In fact, if he can figure out how to throw an incompletion without throwing a complete hissy fit on the field, that might be a good first step to figuring out how to not be a total loser.
