Glabra Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I think he's going to get very good very soon. But his receivers need to start holding on to the ball. I just hope that doesn't happen today as I'm playing the Falcons' D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that doesn't happen today as I'm playing the Falcons' D. 569084[/snapback] Yeah, Toomer dropped 2 passes already. Niether of them were perfect throws but he could have caught either of them. Toomer is so overated it makes me sick. Shockey dropped 1 already too.

Eli has a way to go, but has looked better than expected thus far today. He could be a viable fantasy starter sometime next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli, however, does look like he's got some potential if he can find some people who can actually catch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their tight end is catching the ball and Shockey is not." Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Couple of nice scrambling plays by Manning ... the kid does look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donutrun Jellies Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Hey -- shockey caught on in the endzone! That's a bit of payback for dropping them earlier ... If Shock can keep his head together and some stickum on his hands, Eli and JS may be a nice duo ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glabra Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 Fantasy owners with no good QB options need to take a good hard look at this kid. He looks to be all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks to be all that. 569175[/snapback] I definitely wouldn't go that far. I wouldn't touch him in a non-keeper league this year. But it's good to see him throw his first TD.

Rovers Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I watched the whole game.... he is the real deal, if one can make such a judgement after one game, but I believe it. He got rid of the ball several times to avoid sacks, throwing it away. He was fairly accurate, but the Giants recievers arent used to the ball coming in so hot. He smokes that pigskin. This was just his first game, and I fully expect he will get better, probably much better. I'm impressed. In a dynasty league, I'd want him....badly.

aterry1979 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Cant wait till next year when he learns the offense more and hopefully gets quality WRs ::ahem harrison ahem:: next season through FA. If that happens then people will be saying, Krenziel who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynCrew Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Well, it was another loss in a season that's rapidly slipping away for the Gmen, but regardless, I was pretty happy with what I saw from Eli. He looked composed, his arm is SO much stronger than Warner's that comparisons are not even worthwhile. There were several, 3-4 plays, that Warner would've been sacked where Eli moved around and either completed a pass or took a shot at making a play. The kid did look a little over-anxious early, and missed some receivers that were open, but I like the fact that he's learning now. His team-mates didn't help him a whole lot, dropping balls left and right yesterday. He's got a chance to pretty good, so let the maturation process begin.
