How bad is Eli Manning, now completing his 4th season in the NFL?

Eli has the lowest completion % of any starting QB in the NFL (55.3%).
Eli has the highest interception rate of any starting Qb in the NFL, except Vince Young and Tarvaris Jackson (3.8%).
Eli has fumbled more than any player in the NFL, except John Kitna (12).
Eli has more fumbles + interceptions than any Qb in the NFL (31).
Eli has more INTs than any QB in the NFL (19).
Eli averages the fewest yards per attempt of any starting QB in the NFL (6.21).
Eli has the lowest passer rating of any starting Qb in the NFL, except VY and Tarvaris Jackson (70.9).

Eli has done all this with a great running game.

His receivers haven't exactly been helping him out recently. That being said, he is still pretty lousy, especially for his fourth season.

He sucks in bad weather. Badly.

In September and October in his career he has 40 TD and just 22 interceptions. His QB rating is close to 90. When the temp is above 70 degrees his career QB rating is like 95. They showed the stats here all week on local television

Eli has been excellent in the 1st half of seasons every year, and when the wind starts kicking up, and the temps drop, so does his level of play. He doesn't suck. If he sucks so bad how can you explain his first half success over the past 3 years? Flukes? No, I dont buy that, its just not logical. Eli Manning just sucks in bad weather. Thats definitely a concern because there will be bad weather playing in the northeast every november/december/january. He has to find a way to play better in it

Maybe he could just move to a dome team like his brother.

This is HILARIOUS.
The dumbass and his dad shouldn't have forced their way out of playing for San Diego.

He probably would have been better off there from a statistical standpoint, no doubt about it

Im not making excuses for him. Theres no excuse to be as bad as he has been in bad weather. Im just offering an explanation. And it rings true. He absolutely blows in bad weather, and hes been excellent in September and October. Not just good, but excellent. Through the first half of every year hes been a legit pro bowl candidate, and then hes fallen off a cliff. He doesn't just flat out blow as a QB. If he did he wouldnt have had so much success in his career in September and October. He would pretty much suck all the time

You mean to tell me he has a lower QB rating then Alex Smith?!?...Wow....

the Giants should sign Jake Plummer to make Eli look better
