When will people realize that Eli...........?

Manning is just another average quarterback.? If you watched the game Sunday Eli had 3 delay of game penalies at cruical times. In a hurry up situation he is the last quarterback that I would pick to lead my team. The Giants had plenty of opportunties to win if they had a good but not great quarterback.

Update:

Yes but the Cowboys weren't playing at home so the crowd noise shouldn't have bothered Eli. His penalities came at crucial times and the Cowboys did not.

Update 2:

You don't remember the announcers talking about his lack of hurrying up his team? What game were you watching?

Update 3:

tech golfer, you must know a lot about golf but are football illiterate not to know that Eli wasn't in any hurry.

    I'd say he's an above average QB and would be better than that if given the same situation that Peyton was given. No disrespect meant on the Giants, but they aren't exactly the best football program in the NFL. And their coach is a nutcase. His teammates are some of the most selfish in the sport and they aren't really cohesive.

    Put Eli in the same spot Tom Brady has and then we can decide what kind of QB he is. I understand what you are saying, but I wouldn't give up on him yet.

    You try playing when you're carrying "Peyton Manning's Brother" on your back.

    Eli has struggled in the second half of seasons throughout his career so far. So, it wasn't a surprise to see those delay-of-game pennalties, etc.

    He struggles during the second half of seasons, but I would say he's an average/above average quarterback at times. Though, he doesn't seem to be able to bring his team back when it counts.

    Yea...he sucks...It killed me to play him in my fantasy football this week as I'm used to murdering ppl with Tom Brady...Eli Manning sucks and if New York ever wants to do something with their team they need to concentrate on their running game as they have 2 very talented RB's and could do some damage if their D stepped it up a bit...Not to mention Plaxico would be amazing if he had a guy who could give him the ball (Look what happened to Randy Moss)
