Nah, me neither. Not to take anything away from Eli, but he as a great OLine, backs who can pick up blitzes, a solid running game to keep defenders honest, and receivers who are better than most want to believe. Unproven and unknown in August does not mean they are without talent or incapable of stepping up. With 2 minutes left and the Giants down by 4 and needing to go 80 yards to win the game, I think I would take Eli over anyone else right now. Including King Peyton and Emperor Brady. Not sure what it is, just seems to be more comfortable doing everything on the fly like you do in a 2-minute drill.
