Eli Manning Is About to Become the Highest Paid QB in the NFL

I think the title of this post deserves a "Huh? Are you serious? Did you mean Peyton? You meant Peyton right?" Nope, Eli Manning is on the verge of signing a 6 year 97.5 million dollar extension with the Giants, to make him the highest paid player in the history of the sport. Take it away Mr. Glazer.

"The deal will make the 28-year-old the highest-paid player in the history of the Giants organization as well as the highest-paid quarterback (per year) in NFL history, a figure Giants fans would probably not argue with." Jay Glazer

Now I completely understand the Giants wanting to lock up Manning for a long time. He's a solid leader, he's won a super bowl, and he's become beloved in the city. But highest paid player ever? Really? You can't think he actually deserves that right?

This is the same guy that has never put up sparkling numbers right? The same guy that the entire city of New York was ready to behead at the beginning of 2007? The same guy who watched his Giants get crunched in playoffs by the Eagles?

Yes, he is the same guy that knocked off the unbeatable Patriots. But please someone give me a logical reason why Eli Manning of all NFL Players deserves to be the highest paid. I don't get it.

With that being said, I'm sure the next QB to sign (like a Cheeseburger, Brady or Big Bro), will blow Eli's contract away.

JOE JELLY) IM A TRUE GIANTS FAN. I HAVE BEEN SO SINCE 1986. IVE SEEN ALOT OF QB GET LESS THAN THEY DESERVE AND VICE VERSA,BUT ELI IS DIFFERENT. IVE WATCHED ELI GROW FROM A SCARED PANICY KID WHO COWARDED AWAY FROM DEFEAT,2 A TEAM LEADER THAT LAUGHS AT DEFEAT AND DRIVES ON. NO HE ISNT THE BEST QB EVER,BUT HE IS MY QB,AND I THINK HE IS DAMN GOOD. IM GLAD HE DIDNT LEAVE US,IN FACT IN MY OPINION HE DESERVES 100,000,000. SO ALL U DB'S(THATS DUCHE BAGS) SHOULD GET OFF MY BOYS BACK,AND SHOW SOME LOVE. STAY UP ELI. UR MY QB,AND I WOULD PREFER NONE OTHER THAN U. GOOD LUCK THIS SEASON G-MEN. ILL BE WATCHING. THIS IS (JOE JELLY) SAYING GO G-MEN. 10-4

I definitely think the Giants overpaid for Eli Manning. I dont think he has reached elite quarterback status, and a lot of their success can be attributed to a strong defense and running game.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
