As a lifelong Giants fan, I will tell you that the rating they gave him isn't far off from what it should be. Eli has been regressing. He plays in a VERY favorable system under McAdoo where his completion percentage should be approaching 70% yet he still struggles to reach slightly over 60%. He has accuracy issues on short to medium passes and he often stares down receivers. He also has issues throwing off his back foot, resulting in high throws. As we all know, high throws over the middle in the NFL are interceptions. I love Eli Manning and the flashes of brilliance he's shown throughout his career, but let's not be unrealistic as to how good he is.
