GPinn1224 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 anyone who would take eli over campbell must've been a tackling dummy in another life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I think its just a vocal minority thing. Sometimes people feel the need to try and get as much attention as possible by being very loud, because what they actually say has no substance, so people ignore it. Right now JC is playing at the same level(in my opinion better) as Eli, and Eli has been playing for years. Only one still looks like they have a chance to get better.

One Shot Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I like the fact that we signed a young, big and tall WRs who was Campbell's pal back in his Auburn days. It could be really good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueinBuf Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I'd like to see what defenses those numbers came against, I'm pretty sure out of eli's first 6 games he played 4 of the 5 best defenses in the league, maybe JC did the same but it really makes little sense to compare stats from different years against different teams. I think JC may be better than eli some day just because I don't believe in starting rookie QB's so JC had the advantage of getting to sit watch and learn.

ddub52 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 the NFC east is much tougher now than it was when Eli started out. Jason also gets the advantage there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Won't that result in Campbell throwing the ball up and allowing his WRs to go get it, like Eli Manning at times? If it works out I envision it more as a different toolset to work with. As of now all he has are small WRs who are pretty fast (Santana is very fast when healthy but he hasn't been) and that is how they get open. If, in compliment to that, he has a guy who is big and tall and can get open and get jump balls it would be to his benefit. I doubt Campbell would be pulling a Brady to Moss and just chucking it up to him when he is in double coverage and figuring he will make a play on it. It would also give him a nice, big red zone target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 The only reason right now that Eli gets more play than JC is because most of Eli's passes for TDs tend to appear more spectactular. JC's seem rather tame by comparison :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFan48 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Nice post.. Ill take JC over Eli any day. He is so overated. Eli would be nothing without those players around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudMouth12thMan Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I certainly appreciate stats b/c they do tell the story somewhat, but come on... Anyone that thinks that Campbell is less gifted than Eli is as blind as the 2007 NFL refs. Seriously, Campbell has all the intangibles and makes throws that Eli wishes he could dream of making. If you watch football, you know the kind of qb that we have in Jason. There's a reason why all of the former NFL players turned announcers/analysts keep complementing him. He's special, and we all know that now. He just has to turn that God given ability into wins. That's the next step for him...he just has to make those key throws when the opportunities arise and put teams away. Let's hope that starts tomorrow.

ragemdw Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Campbell has a thing called Leadership. They players on this team will listen to him and respond to him. Eli has egos on his team like Shockey and Gaptooth. He is not the leader of that team and thats his biggest problem. JC has all the potential to be an explosive QB. Eli will be mediocre at best.

esloan Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 As a Cowboys fan, if I was given a choice between Eli and Jason to build my team around, I would pick Jason and never look back. Eli looks plain befuddled at times. He doesn't seem to have the leadership required of a good NFL QB. I have seen Jason make a mistake, shake it off and get right back out there. Eli, on the other hand, doesn't. He just looks lost. Take the delay of game penalties in the Dallas game, he just looked around like he was totally lost. Dumb look on his face and no competitive fire, that about sums up Eli. I look forward to Campbell and Romo sits to pee facing each other twice a year (or more!) for years to come. Both of them have a drive and fire that Eli lacks. I think Eli will fall to the wayside in this division when you talk about franchise QBs.

FunBunch7 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Let's not forget that Eli had Tiki Barber to dump alot of passes to out of the back field. Tiki Barber = HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
