Phil Simms: "No, Eli Is Not One Of The Elites....."

The funny thing is Eli will go on a tear like he always does and completely light it up. People and their comments are prisoners of the moment.

What's with former Giants taking their pot shots? Quite puzzling.

eli has thrown more ints then any qb since his start. but at the same time great comeback wins and 4th qtr play to win sb's. its really hard to define what kind of qb Eli is.

He is a new breed a two faced QB

And to think just a few weeks ago the argument was "is Eli the best QB in the NFL"?

Either way, something (or someone) needs to fire these guys up a bit!

ewwww thanks for sharing

Eli was elite in 2011 and the beginning of this season. Not so much recently but I truly believe that a combination of external factors aren't exactly helping him out either. Pass Protection has been shoddy, receivers are dropping crucial passes, Gilbride's scheme has been exposed, I could go on and on...

Matt Ryan might take his place (and I mean that from a media standpoint) depending on what happens in the postseason with the Falcons.

Not to mention the magnitude of the games that he has done it in. Can't say I would take Eli over someone like Rodgers or Drew because the roller coaster seasons cut my life expectancy, but I have developed a feeling like Eli can get us out of any reasonable hole, no matter what the game situation is.
