Too early to tell...he needs more time to produce.....I would put him as a backup instead for at least 3 years....

No I don't think he is a bust, I'd like to see YOU quarterback the Giants toa superbowl. Half the time fans that have never played the sport much less football are over critical.
The Giants need a better O-line so that Shockey can be a threat and your defense sometimes shoes up and then other times they take a lunch, How many Touchdowns do you have on special teams this year, vs how many they gave up. What about the blow out against seattle, the giants were out coached. You can't blame every single stiking loss on Manning. He's a kid out there doing his best. Show a little Loyalty and stand by your QB, this is your team right?
Ben R. is sucking it up this year but you know what, He's my guy so is every other Steeler. I won't drop them becasue they lost football games.

Well, first thing, he is young and still has alot to learn. Yes, he has been struggling and kinda blew that game yesterday. They had it won and I can't believe he passed it on 2nd and 2 and he could've just thrown it away or just ran it. All he had to do is get into field goal range and he had 2 downs to go to get there.
Eli is young and everyone seems to think he should just go out there and be like Peyton. He has work to do and has alot to learn and I'm sure that he'll get to where he needs to be, just gotta give him some time. I don't think that the Giants should've stayed w/ Rivers.... no matter what anyone says... Eli will be ok and just because Rivers is having a good year everyone wants to say that NY should've went w/ him.... that's bs. Does that mean that Green Bay should go w/ their backup guy cause Favre is doing horrible.... NO!!!
GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is not horrible like Ryan Leaf was, but he's not good either. He's had 3 years in the league, and it seems like he's getting worse rather than better, which should worry Giants fans. I guess considering what the Giants gave up to get him (Rivers, Merriman, Kaeding), yes he's a pretty big bust.

i agree with the guy above me, h2_oasis...eli isnt the reason giants are losing..hes a small segment..he played well yesterday and we shouldnt have even been in the position that he needed to make any plays..the game shouldve been over long before that...this is his 2nd full season in the nfl..it isnt even fair to compare him to his brother who has been around a long time and struggled in the beginning too...giants need sure handed receivers and guys that dont give up (like burress does)...no qb makes a perfect pass everytime or always the right decision..eli is just in ny and thats why its blown up out of proportion...and philip rivers comparisons..how about we give them our o-line and see how he does..or better yet, lets take away LT from their team and see how great they do...LT and their line makes rivers..rivers is not better than eli, he just has a better supporting cast than eli does right now

I guess the Giants thought he would be like Peyton - they were wrong... Hes nothing like his bro.
They need a new QB

I am with you! NY got the short end of that trade - they should have stuck with Phillip Rivers. I do'nt know why everyone thought he was a good QB - he wasn't a winner in college, why would the pros be anything different.

He may not be biggest bust (Ryan Leaf), but this time the Chargers are lol

Not sure, but at least he doesn't have that giraffe neck of his brother, Peyton.
