I'm not from Cali and I saw Eli overthrowing receivers repeatedly, forcing the ball into tight coverage. Even the announcers wonder about his decisions.

Chad Pennington is a smarter football player but Eli is more gifted. If Eli had the decision making abilities of Pennington he could be a lethal QB but he still makes too many bone headed mistakes.

Nor can you argue common logic with a blind homer.

He's another knee injury away from not being too stable if you ask me...

You could say that about any player.

I'm not concerned... We're probably going to be pretty bad around 2013ish... Basically our entire offense will be new. I honestly think that we'll shift to a defensive team around that time haha.

Not really. He's had 2 knee injuries already. So he's at a higher risk compared to other guys.

They were freak deals, it's not like they were random little hits that turned into something bigger. He's thrown 60 TD's in the 2 seasons following the 1st one. I'm not the least bit concerned about it being some ongoing thing. I'd much rather it be two knee injuries than two concussions.

Ideally, you want a guy in the wings, just in case. It's very rare that it's a good idea to start a QB as a rookie, they can turn out great, but odds are your season won't(Exception: Big Ben, but his supporting cast was great). what the Broncos were probably trying to do was ideal, have Cutler getting ready while Plummer starts for another year or two. Of course, there was no way of knowing Plummer would be awful.

teams are better off taking a QB before their current one leaves. you need to give them some time instead of just throwing a rookie QB in to a starting position. the Packer's situation didn't turn out that well but Rodgers is still learning and he should start next season.

You shouldn't ever wait till a player is retired to take the next man up. The packers took rogers when everyone thought Favre only a about 8 games left in the tank.
Ideally they should've waited and taken Jay Cutler. Thing is though, there's a lot of money tied up in a bench warmer.
