Sorry but didn't pick up on football until '05 so didn't know what happened. just heard that he whined until he was traded to NY. Not hatin' on Eli (cuz i love him) but i just want to know the whole story. all i know is that Manning wanted to be with NY and got it but was first drafted to San Diego.

sadly it is true that the chargers are the number one seed in the playoffs. but manning has to step up and suck it up like his brother. maybe he should take some advice from peyton????

San Diego was never really interested in Manning but would live with the decision if need be.S.D knew N.Y. really wanted Eli and gambled that they could trade him for N.Y.'s fourth pick and another pick later in the draft.S.D all along wanted Rivers and got him (fourth pick) plus one later at N.Y.'s expense.A.J. Smith at his best.Gooooooo Chargers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shEli the whinny ***** manning (if I didn't like Peyton I'd hate that whole family...thinking they're NFL royalty...pffh) thought he was too good to go to San Diego so we traded his *** to NY. Good too because Rivers is much better even in his first year, plus we got Nate Kaeding and the unblockable force known as Shawne "Lights Out" Merriman.
I wouldn't say full-out, as of now Eli's a semi-bust (1st pick is expected to perform at a very high level right away, because a team taking the first pick NEEDS IT -- and he hasn't done that despite having Tiki, Shockey and a D that is pretty damn good when it's healthy).

it truly is in simple terms 3 positions on the sector, communities ought to % out all factors of the offense and protection. It does little good to draft a WR at the same time as your offensive line cant save the QB upright to pass to that WR. it truly is why even regardless of the reality that you want as a fan to work out your crew draft that prime profile guy, they finally end up taking an offensive address truly. desire this facilitates answer the question for you.

Simply, Manning was a crybaby, and didn't want to play on a"sucky" team like the Chargers were back then.
Now fast forward to today, The Chargers will likely be going to Super Bowl under Rivers...ha ha Manning ha ha.

The problem are mannings are divas
they act like they are nfl royalty because of their dad.
But neither can win in the playoffs.
I bet the chargers are counting their blessings that they dont have a manning to choke in the playoffs for them.

he wanted to go to a better team so he heldout till they traded him to NY.
That pretty much backfired huh?
