I think if his last name was something other than Manning he would have another QB in New York breathing down his neck waiting to get his job. Obviously they got some issues but they still have Burress, Shockey (bit overrated but still a real good recieving TE) and Barber on offense, so he shouldn't look like a scared 14 year old when he's out there.

Nah, like I said a lot of blame has to fall on Eli's shoulders, I don't disagree. Even though we have the potential to be a very potent offense it doesn't equate to anything because we don't use it right, which is both Eli's fault and the coaching.
If you watched the Jags game, you would've seen Burress give up on some routes/plays, which he tends to do when he gets frustrated. Shockey, lately, has rarely seen the ball coming his way (I don't think he is overrated by any means, underused definitely. He has good blocking ability now from what I've noticed and has developed into a pretty well rounded TE.) We only ran one of the NFL's best backs 10 or so times (and continued to run up the middle at the league's two
best DT's, HB Sweep anyone?)
There really are so many more problems than most people realize here in NY, the casual fan doesn't see it and gets the perception that its 100% Eli. The coaching is equally at fault, but theres no excuses no matter who you're blaming. It just pisses me off as a fan because I think most people would agree that a healthy Giants team should be able to hang with any other team in the league (which is also what pisses me off, injuries) but oh well.
