I think you're correct. When's the last time Eli looked solid for even a full half of a game? You'd think playing a team like the Cleveland Browns or Chicago Bears would make for an opportunity for him to look pretty decent, but man .. he's been BAD overall this year. I've heard people make the claim that OBJ saved his career, and I think I agree with that. Without Beckham's big-play ability and great hand skill, the Giants offense would be nearly nonexistent. Shepard is pretty good for a rookie, but not a guy who elevates the team single-handedly (lol) like Odella can. I'd say 70/30 the Giants draft a QB in the first 2 rounds if they fail to get past the WC round, which is very likely. |
I don't think the answer is as simple as Eli is just detirating just due to time. Just last year, Eli was top 5 in both TD's and passing yards and statsically had one of his best seasons ever. This year Eli is clearly having a tough time adjusting to the changes. Maybe its due to all the new offensive players? Maybe it has to do with overall new managment? I dont know, but I dont think this year is an indication of a trend for Eli. This year has just highlighted how bad he has performed compared to last year. Similiary, Cam has played horribly compared to just last year, his MVP season, and this year he has more offensive weapons with Kelvin Benjamin back from injury. These QB's need time adjusting.
Imo I think the Giants should start looking for a QB either this year or next year no matter the outcome of this seasons post season performance. Im in favor of grooming a QB for a few years before throwing them on the field.
