Should have passed on Eli

Tom Coughlin was talking yesterday about using the overwhelmed Bob Whitfield at left tackle again on Monday night in Jacksonville, a desperate move. He was complaining about his passing game in Sunday night's game and he was still trying to figure out what to do about all the injuries and his paper-thin roster.

And every one of those problems might have been eliminated if Ernie Accorsi hadn't made the Eli Manning trade back in April 2004 that now appears to be a terrible deal for the Giants. It is looking like a long-term back-breaker, in what is supposed to be the Giants' breakthrough season, Accorsi's farewell tour. It was the biggest trade in Accorsi's career, and quite possibly his worst.

Please, that's the from the New York press, which if anyone doesn't know is 1000 times worse than the Washington media.

Even though I hate Eli, he'll probably be pretty good, although he never be at Peytons level so therefore he'll always be labeled as some sort of bust.

Especially if Rivers keeps playing well in San Diego. But if you think about it, how can you not play well in San Diego? You've got the best TE in football as a dump off, solid WR's, and the best overall player in the league.
