Eli is like the emperor with no clothes. It’s unbelievable, like a cult, how far the Giants go try to hide the facts he absolutely sucks. I already said this would happen (too lazy to search for old posts now) exactly as it has, when Solder was signed. He’d quickly be a new scapegoat for Eli. Last year Eli had an average amount of pressures per snap, even despite that he holds the ball for as long as any QB in football. That tells me the Giants line is more than adequate; they seem to block just fine for Barkley too. It’s always everyone else’s fault for the fraud who will become the worst Hall of Fame inductee in any major sport. He should the accolades of 2 SB MVPs and that should be enough. The guy has never been a top-5 QB and very rarely considered top-10. He’s **** lucky to have two rings. Rewarding him with a gold jacket is just doubling down on his luck. Here’s the only fact you need to know: Eli has won a playoff game in just two seasons (both were luck fests that ended up in SB wins behind a shutdown defense and below average offense and required miracles and lucky bounces galore.). He has never even won a playoff game outside of those runs. Two rings and MVPs are way more than sufficient for his legacy. How can he be a Hall of Fame QB with a .500 record and well below average QB stats? His longevity is nothing special in today’s NFL. Never seen a player whose reputation is this much greater than his actual level of play. He is a dropped interception and lucky bounce fumble away from being a giant disappointment, yet he’s going to Canton. WTF.
McAdoo may have been a very bad coach, but he was right about Eli. His blasphemous decision to bench him was essentially sending up a flare for the world to see that Eli sucks and he was tired of everyone else taking the blame for Mr. Awww Shucks.
