Eli Manning fans chime in here..

HyperionHyperion Posts: 7,440 ✭✭✭

tell me what's so special about your guy ? he throws knuckleballs that flutter and sail in the winds of the meadowlands..

he cant' really move, his release isn't really quick, his arm is average strength, he seldom hits guys in stride who are open.. besides throwing the occaisional chuck-and-duck deep ball for anyone to grab, or throwing checkdown 4 yarders to tiki and shockey who turn them into 12 yard gains..

can you tell me what his strength is ? how does he make the players around him better than they are ? or is he just another overrated NY QB (See P. Simms)

    His strength is his older brother is a great QB, he plays in the hype central of the world, and every good is amplified, while every 4th quarter interception is brushed under the rug.

  • Wow ! Booty still sore from the the comeback Sunday ?

    You really don't know much about football, do you?

    For me, I'll never forget his temper tantrum on draft day a few years ago. For that reason, I really hope Philip Rivers turns out to have a better career than Manning. It's early, but I like his chances.

    Can't argue with you there. He did seem like a brat that day, although, to be fair, most reports had his pops Archie orchestrating that whole trade deal from the get-go.

    Even worse.

    Be a man and say 'I'll play where I'm drafted', not let your old man make your decisions for you.

    What a crybaby.

    And if he played for any team NOT based in NY it would be apun as follows..........Sure, his father and brother have been there before him, they are there to give him advice, to help him along. It shows a good, strong family base, etc etc etc....spin spin spin.....image

    Hardly.

    I can't recall EVER having a pro athlete let daddy so publicly make his decisions for him.

    What a joke. He's a pathetic fool.

    Did you mean to say he was a pathetic fool, or that you were a pathetic fool ? Or was it both ?

    no, bri, I meant YOU were the pathetic fool.

    Eli's a spineless twit who's heralded as a great QB simply because of the location he plays in, not on any real merit. While Arod is absolutely CRUSHED for failing to deliver in the clutch, eli's 4th quarter picks are glossed over.

    So, confronted with facts you have no retort for, your reply is 'dope'?

    I guess that's one way to admit defeat.

    It's good you are here to give us a crystal clear image of what an idiot is.

    See, you DO serve a purpose!

    Don't let your parents tell you different.

    truth hurts, hmm sparky?

    Maybe someday you'll take off those rose colored glasses you wear that says everything in ny is the best. Someday you'll know truth.

    Until then, you're a mindless sheep.

    So you have no reason to say why you think eli is a good/great/average quarterback, just reduced to calling me 'dope'?

    How original.

    So you've decided to take this thread off topic (again) like you did with the Arod thread.

    How's it feel, hypocrite?
