Hes getting way overpaid..

 

[dreday]

Yea,but a good qb is hard to find..Figured this would happen.A SB ring talks..

Definatately overpaid, but what can you do. Franchise QB's don't grow on trees. This isn't going to sit well with my Giant's fan buddies, they hate Eli and his inconsistency.

Yea he is a solid starter, but he gets more than his brother peyton, who is arguably the best QB in the league, and i can think of around 20 qbs who are better than him.

Giants are probably happy to just hold onto him than going through the process of finding another QB.

No way Eli is worth that much, his career QB rating is only around 74.5, not $97.5 material.
