If I’m forgetting that just 22 months ago, Eli Manning was hoisting the Vince Lombardi trophy it is because Eli Manning has been playing like garbage ever since then. He should be getting better as he becomes more experienced and familiar with running the Giants’ offense, but he isn’t getting better. He seems to be in some inexplicable premature decline. He was never as good as his brother, but he has won twice as many Super Bowls as Peyton. I’m grateful for that, but Eli needs to get real with himself. It’s not his offensive line. It’s not his receivers. He has flat-out sucked this year from the first pass against Dallas. Sucked. Like a rookie.
If next season is similar, I’ll be ready to bench Eli.
