Eli goes from $9.6M in 2012 to $20.85M in 2013 against cap

Just adding to the lunacy my friend.

This has truly been a FULL MOON experience today

[Drez]

At the time of his contract wasn't he paid top 5 money?

He wasn't the one that set the market for SB MVP QBs. That's just the going rate for franchise QBs that have won SBs.

[Drez]

Don't care what other QB's are making. There is a market, no kidding. Doesn't mean Giants fans should just accept that and be happy when they don't get what the team paid for this season.

They paid $9.6m this season. They got $9.6m worth of QB play.

Either way, that's not the point. Eli got paid after delivering us one SB, and has since delivered another. If you don't think that's worth the money then you need to find another sport to follow.

[Sarcasman]

What's he spending the money on?

Heavier beach pails.

What's he spending the money on?

Charities for sick children.

He got a $100 million contract. Expect better play than we saw this year. He has shown he can play at a higher level. Just expect it to be more consistent.

Right, and he expected o be paid right?

Don't be an idiot.

He has played better, and by virtue of the 2 SBs we've won with him at the helm he's already earned that contract.

And his actual extension was worth less than $100m.

Don't be an idiot.

You mean he didn't?
