Did the Giants cut Collins to soon?

Exactly. If he took the huge pay cut and stayed he would have had to put the Giants in the playoffs and have an 6-1 TD-Int Ratio just to keep the job all year. Anyone on the planet see that happening? Everytime he threw an Int or took a sack, even if it was the WR or O-line's fault the boos and cheers would have came out. Plus the next day some jerk, who never played the game in his life would be writing in the NY papers that they should start Eli. Who would want to put up with that?
