To me, he's extremely immature at the position, and damn clumsy with the football both passing and just trying to take a freakin snap! Perhaps in time he'll come around, right now I do not see him taking them very far even in the mediocre NFC!

He has shown flashes of brillance, the 2 that stick out in my mind are: The first game that he played in SD (I think it was last year). It was a national game in very very hostile territory and he was awesome. The defense couldn't sniff Tomlinson that night and he basically beat the G-men by himself. By Eli was sharp and on-point. The second game was an OT win against the Eagles ( I think last year too). By he led the G-men back from I think it was a 17 point defeicate in the 2nd half. Ending with a 50 yard bomb to Plax on an all out Birds blitz. That's what fustrates me the most is that the kid has the tools. I used to think it was either the line or the recievers and or the play calling. Now for the first time I am starting to think that it is him. He also plays with no emotion, and that kills me. He just looks like a kid that has lost his way. Today he had this hopeless look on his face every time he made a mistake, like he knew that he himself was flushing the season away. He has good recievers and TE's (but he never looked for Shockey) but latley he only throws towards Plax who is far from 100%. Ever since the debacle against the Vikings he has been just flat out bad. Maybe they will give the kid the week off next week aganst the Pats and let him clear his head. The last thing they need going into the playoffs is for him to throw 4 more picks with 2 going back for td's. Plus the crowd at the Swamp is starting to sound like the on that has been going to the garden to watch the Knicks.
