I am not trying to stir up trouble by calling people out, rather I am interested in hearing what people think of Eli now. I definitely see him in a different light.

I never thought much of Eli, and for good reason. He consistently has a rating in the 70's and is alway near the top of the league in INTs. Heck, during the regular season THIS YEAR, he led the league in picks and and was 25th in QB rating at 73.9. Names like Kyle Boller, Brian Griese, Joey Harrington, and Damon Huard all had a higher rating.

His postseason performance was fantastic. He only had 1 INT (which wasn't his fault), and had to win every game on the road. I think it's interesting to note how much better he got as soon as Shockey went down in the Skins game week 15. He never looked back. Shockey is known for being a punk in the huddle and he intimidates Eli. It's addition by subtraction. Eli and Boss have good chemistry. I think it's a safe bet the Giants try to trade Shockey asap.

Can Eli perform like this consistently? I'm not sold.
