Supposedly denver(manning memory) and jacksonville( tom caughlin) are the only teams who would take a sniff.The last two years - any of it guaranteed? Could they just release him and not pay him? Man, 12 good players on IR and not a lot to play for from early on. I cannot see why it is all Eli's fault? He is definitely a throw em open down field qb and needs that kind of wide receiver that can go get the ball.
The whole world sucks when your team is 2-10. I do not think they are as bad a team as their record. But, if you were Eli would you play for the giants again or tell them to shove it? Who has the right personnel for Eli and who would really want him and could fit him in?
A qb on a veteran team like Denver is probably worth 4-5 wins. Broncos need to fix their OL also. It’ll be interesting to see where Alex Smith ends up at also, he won’t be in KC.Good fit---- Cardinals maybe.
Just a mystery how Eli Manning made it to the pros and Railbird could not get out of community college...:doh1
I agree.Eli just happens to be one of those few Quarterbacks that if you have a team capable of winning a Super Bowl..... He is one guy you want! Period. Nothing anyone comes up with outweighs that FACT. How many teams in the past just wanted one of those guys. He won 2 Super Bowls with teams that had to do it on the road. I'm not an Eli fan but you got to give him his greatness whether you like it or not!
It's not the loss of his skills however, he lost his heart. He doesn't care and doesn't want to get hit.It's sad to see his current play....reminds me of Willie Mays' last few years with the Mets.
They would have been better off drafting an OL or trading down. They will need 2-3 years to fix the OL and have a new QB ready, Barkley will be playing his 4th season - the average career is 4-5 years.Lol last night when Buck said NYG brass looked at the current crop of draftable QBs & saw no franchise QBs so they took Barkley.
The OL is bad, but so is almost every OL in the NFL currently. The difference is a QB's pocket presence, and mobility both inside and outside the pocket. Eli has none of the above anymore. KC's OL is the same one Alex Smith was getting sacked behind at a high rate. It's the QB, and how he deals with pressure, both real and imagined. The QB makes an OL look way worse than it actually is, or way better than it actually is. The starkest example of this is The Pats in 2007(Brady), 2008(Cassell), 2009(Brady). Basically the same OL, but 20-30+ difference in sacks. Nate Solder is the same guy he was(but richer) protecting Brady's blind side and Eli's blind side.They would have been better off drafting an OL or trading down. They will need 2-3 years to fix the OL and have a new QB ready, Barkley will be playing his 4th season - the average career is 4-5 years.
