Eli has nothing more to prove. His resume writes itself, 2 Super Bowl Rings, 2 Super Bowl MVPs. `Nuff said.

The front office did nothing to surround Eli with the help he needs. The offensive line is patchwork at best and singing Nate Solder was not the answer. Flowers is a walking-talking turnstile.

Take a look at any other team not named the New York Giants. If you were to say you had OBJ and Saquan as weapons, and guys like Vernon on defense, you should be favored going into most games. There is not enough protection up front.

In week 1, Saquan had 106 on 18 carries and averaged almost 6 ypc. But 68 of those came on one TD run. Take that run away and he has only 48 yards on 17 carries and 2.8 ypc. Which is close to his average in week 2 at 2.5 ypc.

Cannot blame any of that on Eli.
