Money Wasted

SO today, Eli Manning signed a 6 year $97 million contract. This makes him the highest paid player in NFL history. He is not even the best player at his position. This must be some kind of joke. I mean look at his career stats. He has a 6 year career, with an average QB rating of only 76.1. He has 98 career TD passes and 74 interception. The only reason any one pays any attention to him is because of his last night and some how they squeeked a Super Bowl victory past the Patriots 2 years ago.

Let's just compare him to some other QBs:

• Tom Brady career 92.9 rating, 197 TDs, 86 interceptions (3 Super Bowls)
  
• Tony Romo career 94.7 rating, 81 Tds, 46 interceptions
• Peyton Manning career 94.8 rating, 333 TDs, 165 ints (1 Super Bowl)
  
• Drew Brees career 89.4 rating, 168 TDs, 99 ints
• Jake Delhomme career 85.1 rating, 115 TDs, 76 ints
• Phillip Rivers career 92.9 rating, 78 TDs, 36 ints
• Ben Roethlisberger 89.4 rating, 101 TDs, 69 ints (2 Super Bowls)

Anyone of these players are worth twice what The Giants are paying Eli. I can't wait to see him fall on his a**, especially now since they don't have Plexico for him to just throw the ball in the air for.
