Does anyone else wonder if him dropping his leg kick will lead to him getting hit by pitches less?
nah, we gave Daryl an entire season to prove his worth. We keep jerking Morgan in and out of the lineup - and his season last year was better...
If Eli Manning was a running back, he'd probably have more room to be confident - but Eli Manning is a quarterback, and the ghosts of Ryan Leaf's...
Neither do you - but the history of the Chargers suggests a bad ending - why take the stupid chance? The most likely outcome of his career will...
He has that choice - nothing compels a player to sign with the team that drafts them. Eli isn't breaking any rules, just like Francis didn't break...
How many draft picks have refused to play for their team? It's been an insignificant amount. If more players did it the effect would be the same.
The principle remains the same - top level talent shunning a team until they were forced to change.
well, the Bengals sucked for a decade or so, and couldn't get any free agents because of their ways(giving Siragusa a coach ticket when they were...
No, but if I had a multi-million dollar career on the line, I'm not taking unneccessary chances. Especially if on top of that, the team is...
It doesn't help them any less than drafting Eli and getting him killed in his first years, and then having to start over again in a few years....
It's an attempt to level talent in the league by allowing the teams with the worst records to have the best shot at the top players coming out of...

"Those guys ****ed up their careers by playing for a ****ty team that won't support them, well heck, I guess I have to too" - doesn't that sound,...
I agree, they should. But Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald probably didn't have the experience of a father who went through what you're about to...
Gosh, then he could've played for the Bengals. He actually wants to have a decent career, I don't see anything wrong with that.
Eli's not doing anything other than exercising his rights under the draft process - there's nothing in the rules that requires you to sign with...
Whatever happened to simplicity in uniform design?
I need an emoticon of someone tipping their hat. Well played, good jester, well played.
Archie is looking out for the best interests of his kid as both a father, and a supremely talented quarterback whose career was cut short by being...
