Even if the NY Giants invested in an O-Line to give Manning some semblance of protection, the truth of the matter is that Eli is past his expiration date. Like Brady, he still is capable of showing momentary flashes of his former self, but realistically, needs to consider hanging up his jock strap and cleats.The Giants need to be looking for an immediate replacement that they can groom to be the next franchise QB.
New England needs to do the same but it won’t happen because of the gigantic egos of Belichick & Brady. Brady won’t tolerate a rival and Belichick doesn’t want to expend the energy grooming the next G.O.A.T. Their careers and reputations are so inextricably linked that when one retires, so will the other. They both want just one more Super Bowl Championship ring – but like the song from Man of La Mancha they’re dreaming The Impossible Dream
Years ago Tampa Bay had a quarterback having excellent ability throwing very long passes. During more or less the same years a field goal kicker in New Orleans could kick 100 yard field goals. Unfortunately, though both unexpired, they rarely managed to evade the entire opposing team.

Wow! A double cold shot. One about being the “better” brother plus a shot at the Giants O-line.

Eli and OBJ are going to become trade bait during the off-season. Mark my words.

Even I, who doesn’t follow sports, know a burn when I hear one.

The New England Patriots are one win away from another AFC Championship game, and you’re writing as though the s*ck.

I can hear Peyton telling this to Eli.

Tom Brady and his brother have more Superb Owl rings than Peyton, Eli and their brother. And Tom Brady does not have any brothers.
