not as a QB but maybe as a waterboy. i just think he is overrated. too much hype because his brother is Peyton Manning

We already took David Carr to go along with Jake Delhomme...throw Eli Manning in there are we've got a party....Would Eli be an improvement...no, he wouldn't because Jake already has good timing and chemistry with Steve Smith, something I want David Carr to work on ASAP if he plans on winning a starting job at some point. Carr got a bad image from being on a bad team...so Carr vs Manning...I'd actually rather have Carr, because Manning has had a good team before with a star running back, wide receivers, TE, and offensive line....Carr hasn't had any of that until he signed with Carolina...minus the TE.
In summery...no..I wouldn't want Eli Manning and the Panthers are probably better off without him.

He's one of the most scrutinized QB's out there. You got to remember that Phil Simms struggled for 5 or 6 years before becoming a proven winner and Pro-Bowl QB. Eli should be fine. He needs to look to pass to receivers other than Plax and Shockey all the time. If Toomer is healthy that will help. I don't know who will emerge out of the S. Moss / S. Smith slot.

As of right now, Hell no because he has been in the NFL almost 4 years and hasn't Progressed yet but i cant count him out because Peyton went through his growing pains as well and he turned out good but i think this will be Eli years to prove he can lead a team without a consistent Running game

That is an easy one. My team actually drafted him and then showed his punk a** the door. The San Diego Chargers then were able to get Philip Rivers, Shawne Merriman & Nate Kaeding. There is no way Eli is worth the talent of Rivers, let alone all three.

Depends if he plays better than Rex Grossman, because the Bears are my favorite team and we know what inconsistant play is ( 3 td's 275 yd's one game, the next is 3 ints and 0 td's). I'm not hating on Rex ( I think he'll be more consistant), but if Eli does play better ( I doubt it), then I want Eli

He'll probably be more degreading than an asset. He's 1 of the worst. Chad Pennington way over Eli Manning.

He is on my favorite team and I want him off. He's afraid to stand in the pocket and take a hit. If they could have gotten any one of the three first-round QBs last year for Manning I would've loved it.

Yes because the Baltimore Ravens needs to find a new younter QB. It will be a big help to the offense.
