What Happened to Eli?
Halfway through the season, everyone was right. Eli Manning was overrated. He wasn't horrible, but he wasn't Peyton.
Then came the final game. Should you rest the starters against the perfect New England Patriots, or play for a place in history. Surprisingly, they started the players, and even more surprisingly took the Pats as far as they could go. They didn't win, mind you, but Eli got his dignity.
He has had only one interception from the New England game till now. Compare that to his 5 INT's in the first 4 games in the season. He has played in some of the most difficult places as well. Tampa Bay (One of the top defenses), Dallas, and Green Bay (in the 21st century's version of the Ice Bowl).
Whats next for Eli if he does do the impossible and beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Sunday? I predict more commercials, date supermodels, and overall, live the life that was meant to be lived as a QB in the NFL. Joe Namath would be proud.
