How is he overrated?! Cus his last name is Manning?! Come on. You never give credit when it's due. When your mind is made up, you stick with it even when your argument is ridiculous. Manning is a very good QB and it shows even with less talent.
He won the Super Bowl with Plaxico Burriss as his main target. Amani Toomer was his second option. Shockey was injured most of that yr and he succeed with Kevin Boss as his tight end. Brandon Jacobs was the main back. Now compare that to Rivers that same yr with LT, Turner, Sproles, Jackson, Chambers, Gates.
But you're right. Never going over the hump shouldn't all fall to Rivers' lap.
i wanna see eli manning in the same situation...and with burress and a working running game it's not the same situation at all.
Read what I said in that post you just replied to. I just compared the players on each roster from 2007. The talent level for the 2007 Chargers were much better than the Giants of 2007.
This year, yes, the Chargers have regressed a ton. Not having a good running game and Vincent Jackson sitting out was a huge blow to their team.
But look at the Giants right now. No legitimate running game either with Bradshaw disappearing every now and them. Hakeem Nicks is the main target. Kevin Boss hasn't done anything.
