    He is the team's QB so definitely bears a lot of the responsibility. Not to mention that he hasn't played well at all this year so far.

    Graceful for WHAT?

    Eli won two rings with Elite defenses. How many years did Schaub have elite defenses? Um..... 3 YEARS! Garbage Schaub wasted that elite defense years

    I'd say Schaub had... .5 years with an elite defense. Then got hurt. That defense that Brady, Rodgers and Henne carved up... not on the NYG's level. This years defense? Is it elite? I don't know, but the year isn't over yet.

    I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but Eli has 2 Superbowl rings.

    Kurt Warner had one ring, and another SB appearance, and he was easily benched/forced out from St. Louis once his performance declined.

    So who here thinks that Matt Schaub is better than Eli Manning?

    Does anyone here actually believe that?

    Considering that its 2013 and the Giants' starting RB is Brandon Jacobs, I'm not going to blame Eli Manning for their 0-6 start....

    Would you like me to go through a list of "elite" quaterbacks who have won with garbage RBs?

    Not saying Eli shouldn't sit, but Kurt wasn't "benched" until he got injured.

    Giants are ranked 22nd ypc. Numbers would be worse with Schaub because he doesn't throw upfield.

    Drew Brees (Pierre), Aaron Rodgers (James Starks), Tom Brady (Maroney/Faulk), Roethlisberger, etc.

    Nice try, but you're only listing single running backs from RBBC's.

    Wasn't just that. He was god-awful in his final extended stint in St. Louis... 0-6, 3 TD's, 11 INT's.

    He's the only QB in recent memory to hit rock bottom and then come back to play at an high level.

    I don't even know what RBBC is.

    Running back by committee.

    Oops! Am I the only that has never heard that acronym before? I've heard the phrase but not the acronym. I feel old.

    But those are all elite QBs that made it happen with whoever was running the ball for them. The reason why it was RRBC was because they weren't that good.

    I was just making fun of the fact that every other post mentions he has 2 rings.

    It's Friday, man.

    It doesn't matter how/why those RB's were able to put up stats. The point is, they put up stats and weren't "garbage" like you previously said.
