Re: I hate to be the hater, but Eli sucked

Why do people "hate" Eli? He's just not a "hateable" guy.

He led the game winning drive for a touchdown in the Super Bowl against what many people have said was the best team ever.

What more do people want from the kid?

I agree. Do these people go to the Special Olympics and boo?

Sorry, that was bad.

I saw Eli at the entrance to the kentucky derby a couple years ago. There was a small crowd there waiting for celebrities. Saw Spike Lee, dude from Montgomery Gentry, Jermaine Dupree & some others.

This one dude in the crowd would yell something out every time one of them walked up. Most of it was good natured if not funny. Then Eli walks up w/his girl, and dude starts heckling him - "Eli, you'll always be a Charger!"

It was kind of funny but he sounded so serious. That's the only reason I can think of that people hate on Eli so much, that he didn't want to play for SD. J. Elway had a similar experience when he didn't want to play for the colts, but his career turned out ok.

Cause he's not Peyton. Peyton could be the best ever, and people expect Eli to follow in his footsteps. (which he is obviously not) Eli is Eli and people need to learn to stop such high expectations. Eli will never be Peyton.

Plus, Eli has that whole "mouth breather" look going on.

I just can't take the kid seriously sometimes.
