Re: Eli Manning Sucks!!
As was pointed out last night, it's pretty funny how the Giants sold the farm to nab him for Rivers yet Rivers is outplaying Manning by a mile. Welcome to our world of poor FO decisions.

Re: Eli Manning Sucks!!
Someone has posted this before but I think it bears repeating:
Eli Manning = Billy Ripken More truth than poetry.

Re: Eli Manning Sucks!!
Because, just like Billy did, Eli shows flashes of ability but not the consistency of his older brother. As their careers wore on, the difference in ability became more pronounced. Billy had a definite ceiling to his ability - I am betting that Eli hits his soon (If he already hasn't).
Also, the personalities seem similar, Cal was the studious older brother and Billy the frat boy. It's more of a prophecy at this point rather than a statement of fact, but each year the comparison becomes clearer and clearer to me.
