Pats thought the same thing,how did that work out for them?

4 full pages, and no one wants him here? ( at vet minimum, of course)

Shockey for Chad Johnson trade?

^It would solve problems for both teams (and create new ones).

He also led the league with 20 ints in the regular season, and had a mildly unimpressive 6.3 yards per attempt to go with a totally unimpressive 56.1% completion. Those numbers border on Grossman/Tavaris Jackson/Brodie Croyle levels.

I tend to think that there is something sustainable about his maturation in the playoffs, something real about it, but is it possible he was playing a little over his head throwing only one int in the playoffs, considering he threw about 1.25 per game in the regular season last year?

Yup............and that brings me back to Shockey how is a bad rout runner and is soley reponsible for Eli's Viking game.He drops a ball and then gets in Eli's face...he's a fool.

Eli is probably never going to be a 65% passer. He's just too streaky of a QB. I think that's just who he is. But he played his best when it mattered most and he's a SB champion. You can win with Eli as your QB. So not much else anyone can say. He shut a lot of people up.

I always thought people were way too down on him, because he was a still-developing NFL passer, and now it's clear that people in general think too much of him.

I mean, I like the guy and all, and was happy for him that his team won a SB, and he played phenomenal in the playoffs and all, but you are right, he's still Eli Manning.

Eli isn't somehow a different player now that he has a super bowl victory. He's the same Eli Manning. Perhaps a bit closer to his prime now than he was a year ago, but I still feel like he's capable of holding the Giants back in the future.

I don't think anyone really thinks that Eli has somehow morphed into a top notch QB. But last year he played well enough down the stretch to get the job done. Most importantly he didn't turn the ball over, and that's what the Giants need from him. Will he keep that up next year? Who knows.

I was debating whether or not to post this pic.... When Eli was a senior at Ole Miss, my girlfriend (who was a senior at Florida at the time) and some of her friends went to the Bahamas for spring brink. Alas, I was back in Gainesville working and couldn't go. Anyway, they were staying at the same hotel as Eli and some of his Ole Miss goons. My girlfriend said he wore these retarded rolled up nut-hugger jean shorts as a swimsuit. The first day she thought maybe he had just lost a bet. But he wore them everyday! Check it out: (my girlfriend Brooke is just to the right of the chick in the middle, and it's a scanned photo so the quality isn't great).

Nothing says redneck quite like wearing jean shorts on the beach.

Check that, wearing jean shorts period.

Great pic

Who's the dork next to him sucking in his gut and puffing out his chest?
