Just because they're brothers, they don't have to play on the same team. Tiki Barber and his brother Ronde didn't play on the same team. Same for other brothers that play(ed) in the NFL.

As a Giants fan, i've got spent many an hour protecting Eli and different an hour going gray over him. His play is polorizing to assert the least: from time to time you ask your self "What does he SEE available?" and then different circumstances you assert "If this is how he gets it accomplished, then so be it". think of of it this way: The Dallas Cowboys have had what share beginning QB's on condition that Troy Aikman retired? 10 QBs. i'm no longer able to even inform you the way lots sales has been spent between those 10. yet human beings criticise the Giants for giving Eli Manning ninety seven million funds. I assure you that greater grew to become into spent on 10 Dallas QBs than on Eli Manning and that grew to become into AFTER he added homestead a championship. a consultant championship in any game is nicely worth different funds. And if it potential conserving a guy like Eli, i'm enthusiastic approximately it.

Because they were drafted at different times and both in the number 1 pick of the draft. After retaining Peyton with a number 1 pick you wouldnt use another pick on a quaterback in 6 years unless they busted very badly. They also both went to different colleges Peyton went to university of Tennessee and Eli went to the university of Mississippi.

They were drafted 6 years apart. So when it was Eli's turn, there was no need for the Colts to have Eli are their backup because ELi is a great QB.

Why, is there some sort of NFL rule that brothers are supposed to play on the same team? It's like asking why you and your brother don't work at the same job.
