March 23, 2005 -- Truth be told, Eli Manning's rookie season was so tough that, at times, even his dad couldn't watch.
When Manning and the Giants played at Baltimore on Dec. 12, Archie Manning was planning to watch the game on TV. But knowing that the Giants were in the midst of an eight-loss tailspin and knowing how staunch the Ravens' defense was, he decided against seeing the punishment. "I knew how that game was gonna go  not to discredit anyone on the Giants," Archie Manning said of Big Blue's 37-14 loss. "They were struggling; Eli was struggling. "I got up that morning, I told my wife, 'I can't watch this.' I went to Houston to see the Colts play. "I told my wife, 'Call me if there's anything good.' And she never called." --------------------------- i bet there were many many games archie's daddy couldn't watch! he was sacked 43 times in a 14 game season in '72 and he could run. |

I think ELI will be just fine...they are building that team, his biggest problem was pitching a hissy to not play in san diego...which would\'ve had the same record regardless of the quarterback I think.

I think an important attribute to his success will be the amount of dedication the Giants show him, and they have shown him they believe in him, and his abilities...
It\'s all in his corner now, He has the tools to succeed, and the support of his employers...and fans..He has a Legacy to live up to, and all the potential to do just that... I bet Ole\' Archy would watch him if He were suited up in Black and Gold... |

Just think -- Eli could have been in san Diego -- a team that is loaded with draft choices -- that is moving upwards and instead he is playing for a team on the downside. Talk about your wrong moves.
