I think his Dad played a major role in his decision. I remember something like Archie thought Eli would get blasted out of the NFL with the o-line the Chargers had? Either way it doesn't matter, San Diego is thanking the football gods he made the choice he did!

because eli manning is a daddy's boy and not a man who can think for himself you see his father archie played with some bad football teams and never got to the playofffs as the qb of the saints anyway he didn't want that for eli and at the time san diego was a bad football team who looked as if they weren't interested in winning oh well it's a good thing for chargers fans that eli didn't go there because the chargers wouldn't be winning games the way they are now because eli would be costing them games with his stupid decision making

Because when he was being drafted the Chargers were a terrible team. Their offensive line was weak so Eli and his daddy though they wouldn't be able to protect him, let alone get him to playoffs.

Not sure, but I think it was because Brees was SD's definite starter, while Kurt Warner at NYG was on the hot seat.
