Forget the o line issues. Giants fans were pissed when they rationally benched eli last season.
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

Football fans are stupid. They didn't want to see reality.
Now everyone sees it.
The reality is, most of his career he has been average or bad. Yet he will probably got to the HOF and the Giants got about what they could have hoped for out of that draft pick.

You should, you got about what you could expect/hope for with the pick.

Actually, in retrospect, thank god for Eli…
Puts the biggest hole in Brady's resume. Fuck the Patriots!
Blocks Aaron Rodgers, including by outplaying him at Lambeau in the cold HAHAHAHA so embarrassing, fuck the Packers!
Also wins two rings to Rodgers one, exposing the leagues most technically proficient QB of all time as an overly anxious control freak who can't throw it unless he sees it.
Now he out here driving the Giants into the ground for the umpteenth year in a row and wasting annoying ass OBJ's rookie contract and part of Saquon's…IM LOVIN IT BROTHA
Lawd knows Eli even rewards his most ardent haters!

ShEli taking 10yd dropbacks from his own 9, and fumbling at first contact = not the OL's fault Forcing throws into tight windows, and the subsequent ints = not the OL's fault EliFace holding the ball in the pocket, no escapability, etc... Not the OL's fault Barkley's putting together an unprecedented career start behind the same OL
Of course they can improve
But IMO, this is more about having an over the hill, immobile, pocket passer...than anything else

Dude is shook
A QB with a strong arm and a quick release will make the OL look better.
**************** TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
I think Collinsworth was right that since the OL is so bad, the offense is effectively barred from calling anything except 3 step drops.
That makes an offense bad, predictable, and an old, immobile QB like Eli a sitting duck.
I agree that a better, mobile QB can make a line look better (though we're looking at one of the worst in the league).
But considering they're still with Eli, it would have really been in their interest to not totally blow their attempts to build and OL over the past 5 seasons or so.
Even if they draft the next Mahomes, they're still gonna need an OL that is at least mediocre.

there's nothing left for him to prove. He kept the Cheaters from having 2 Super Bowls, and erased their perfect season. We already know he's not Peyton. When NSP was out there with the Donkeys barely able to throw he still was able to make the proper decision on the field
Giants are either playing the long con or they're clueless
