- TD (20+ yds) - 0 (last in league)

Again, I hope all those to get better this year. But geez, given Eli's antics in the 4th quarter, I think the answer to the question of who is better if the teams were reversed -- I'd say that Eli may be better than JC.

Before the angry responses -- hey, I love the skins and I think JC will have a great year. I'm just saying that if you were forced to compare the two -- if Eli was here on this team, I think he'd be able to make decisions quicker -- (without the stalwart offensive line that JC requires to be successful), and do better in the 4th quarter.

You must not be familiar with those patented Eli Manning back-footed, eyes closed throws in the face of pressure.

And as to you other post above, 2008 was by far Manning's best season as a professional. He completed 60% of his passes (barely) for the first time and threw nearly 8.5 fewer interceptions than he had averaged the past three seasons (10 vs. 18.33 and 55 total from 2005-2007). Quite honestly we don't want to be comparing Jason Campbell to Eli Manning because Manning is an average quarterback who played on a team that won a Super Bowl.
