For those that believe Gilbride is a really good coach please ask yourself 1 question

this is partly true. But the over whelming majority acts as the opposite. When Eli does something good hes elite and hes carrying the team but when someone else does it its because they have more weapons or because they're in a better system.

Some excuses are valid like attempting more passes. One could argue that going by a QB's Interception ratio is a better indicator than total interceptions.

I guess most of the comments are from the radical sides of the fan base.

Because it's not bull**** it's supported by everything and you as a Giants fan shouldn't need evidence of that.

Eli's extensive time he puts in, in the film room and working with his receivers, the audibles he makes at the line and his decision making when the pass protection is good tells me everything I need to know.

Eli's not afraid to make a mistake which is why he throws a lot of INT's. He trusts his receivers too much and tries to do too much to for the team which sometimes has a negative effect.

I disagree, when Eli makes a play majority of people give credit to everyone not named Eli, and when Eli makes a mistake it's all Eli's fault.
For example the last game of the season, Eli throws 5 td's and when you ask fellow fans about it they say well the Eagles quit, they suck, etc. Eli Manning is truly the Rodney Dangerfiled of the NFL.

Please no do compare Romo to Eli.

Eli is light years ahead of Romo.

Romo since he's been in the league has grown the least out of almost any legit starting QB.

I'm not trying to argue and make excuses for Eli's play, but I think a lot of people overreacted from last year and think he totally regressed. There were some head scratching games, but ask yourself..did anyone really play all that well this year?

Not trying to make this into an Eli thread.

Okay, I just have never heard you criticize Eli's play until now.
