Another Giants game, another case of Eli Manning getting roughed up, sacked, fumbling, etc. I watched the latest episode of, "Eli is scared" last night, and heard the boos rain down from the home crowd in Jersey. It wasn't a pretty game by far for either Eli or the Giants, with most of the problems coming from the offence and their star QB.
When your top wide receiver (Odell Beckham Jr.) walks off before halftime even starts and shakes his head in the tunnel, you know it's getting bad. It would be too easy to blame the coaches or the whole offence at this point, when the blame squarely rests on Eli, and to a lesser extent, management for building the team around him and not drafting or acquiring a younger successor. This season is looking worse for the Giants than last, as Eli looks more and more like a man who is mentally done with the game, and who can't seem to keep up or make plays at all.
He's got nothing left to prove, having already won two Super Bowls. For the good of the team, he should either retire, or step aside and remain a backup to help mentor a younger quarterback. That being said, Eli and the Giants need to get this figured out very quickly if there's any hope.
