How quickly we forget. It was just three years ago when he and his father (Archie Manning) basically called the Chargers one of, if not, the worst franchise in the NFL and they stated that Eli was too good to play on that type of franchise. They demanded that Eli be traded to the Giants or else (I want to say that he and his father whined, but I try not to insult anyone).
Fast-forward through the Chargers going (12-4) in 2004 and making the playoffs; going (9-7) in '05; going (14-2) last season and being #1 in the AFC; plus the last season's TD record by a RB like LT.
On the other hand, the Giants have had chemistry problems between coach Coughlin and the players; going (5-11) in 2004; going (11-5) in 2005; going (8-8) last season; plus Tiki's "pre-mature" retire.
I wonder if Eli and his family still think that the Chargers are a "bad" franchise. I don't think the Chargers are losing any sleep right now with Rivers and LT.
How do you think Eli feels right now?
