Eli is in his 3rd season in the NFL and you want him to have 2 rings? Reasonable expectations. Does he make every read? No. Does he make ever throw? No. Neither does his brother. Or Tom Brady. Or any QB. All you can try to do as a QB is make plays and minimize mistakes. He's still young, people talk about him like he's a 10 year veteran. I think they take for granted his lack of experience due to the fact that he's been in the playoffs his first 2 seasons and has gotten a lot of playing time for such a young player. The QB position is one that typically takes a veteran leader to get continued success. Brady had time to learn behind Bledsoe. It took Peyton YEARS to win a Super Bowl, but Indy fans were pacient cause they knew he had talent. Real Giant fans are pacient with Eli because they realize he's brought them to the playoffs 2 straight seasons going on 3...something very difficult to accomplish in the modern era NFL with the salary cap and such. Teams such as the Patriots and Colts that are in the playoffs every year are extraordinarly rare these days, and hadn't been seen since the days of the old 49ers/Giants/Cowboys. I think a lot of "fans" are more casual observers who don't really understand the inner workings of the game nor appreciate the performance of the players put forth by their team. A lot of QB's in the league don't trust themselves to try to make the throws Eli makes. He trusts his judgement and his arm. He's young, he's bound to get nervous. He'll only get better as he gains experience. If you think he should be making every read and throw in his 3rd year of the NFL you're nuts. I think I'm done ranting now. GO LIONS! Speaking of inconsistent...
