APTwo weeks ago, Giants quarterback Eli Manning explained that he’s not a 25-interception-per-season quarterback — even though he threw 25 interceptions last season.
Tonight, he’s probably not considering himself to be a two-interception-per-half quarterback, either.
But that doesn’t change the fact that Manning was picked off twice in the first half of Monday night’s preseason game against the Jets. Eli has completed 12 of 25 passes for 174 yards.
Still, the preseason is the time for making mistakes. Near the end of the second quarter, he overthrew a wide-open Mario Manningham, who if hit in stride would have easily scored a long touchdown.
So it’s hardly time for Giants fans to panic. If Eli throws two picks in the first half of the Giants’ game against the Redskins in 13 days, then it’ll be time to panic.
The Jets lead 7-3, thanks to a 17-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Mark Sanchez to receiver Santonio Holmes.
The best news for the Giants? Manning hasn’t had his helmet knocked off and his scalp gashed. Yet.

Two horrible quarterbacks playing horrible football. No surprise in this ugly game.
They should trade for Tebow.
He is clearly no Mike Vick
Eli is garbage
Eli threw a pick? No way!
He threw 2 picks in a very elite manner.
Eli the Elite
The “Mannings” will be obsolete in 2 years.
Put in Cooper!
That’s what “elite” quarterbacks do ain’t it?
Surprise, surprise…the whiney little brother sucks, imagine that.
Haa! I love how giants fans like to talk about how Vick doesnt play well when he’s pressured. At least he didnt turn the ball over 30 times last season. Eli makes PLENTY of poor throwing decisions when he’s under pressure.
Doesn’t look very elite now does he?
“Sanchize” isn’t exactly an offensive powerhouse, either. He’s very fortunate the Jets have an excellent “D.”
Romo is the best QB in the NFCE.
Perhaps he meant that he is a 64 INT per Season Quarterback. Go Eli!
Top five quarterback, fo sho.
smart money says Eli gets benched before week 8
here come the defenders….i’m sure they werent his fault. must’ve been the receivers’ fault.
Most overrated QB in the league.
so what? vick threw three last week and the Eagles decided to pay him over $100M.
The Giants look like they might be in the NFC East cellar this year. They look all over the places–starters, backups, coaching, etc.
Both Eli Manning and Mark Sanchez look like crap. Both these teams would be so much better with a quality QB.
(Office Barbrady voice) Move along people, nothing to see here…
honestly he is a serviceable QB at best. Certainly not elite. Not saying he’s bad. I bet seatle would love to have him.
They don’t call him Elite Manning for nothing.
Come to think of it, Sanchez played poorly as well.
Eli is an “ELITE” QB!
Elite backup.
Eli throwing interceptions shouldn’t be news, it should be expected.
That’s what “elite” quarterbacks do ain’t it?I am a 28 years old doctor, mature and beautiful.and now I am seeking a good man who can give me real love , so i got a username Lindasunny2002 on–a’ge’l'es’s'da’te.c óm–.it is the first and best club for y’ounger women and old’er men, or older women and y’ounger men,to int’eract with each other. Maybe you wanna ch’eck ‘it out or tell your friends!
Eli had the streak of his career starting in the playoffs after the 2007 season.
He’ll NEVER be that good again and the gints are stuck with him.
One of the worst first halves of football by both teams that I have ever witnessed, bar none.
Holy crap, these teams can’t both be this bad, can they?
Ill take the INT’s over a washed up convict any day. Atleast the guy can publiclly admit when he’s wrong…. Oh did I mention a SB MVP!!!
Go Eli!!!!!
You can’t spell “elite” without Eli!
LeBron traveled .. O wait..
What had Romo ever done besides choke in big games? Can never figure out the love? Eli may stink but he has no weapons. Romo synod with weapons.
Take him Big Blue. Please take him. He is all yours.
So, Vick had 3 ints last week and 2 fumbles this week.
its preseason who cares
@melonhead :, Romo’s the best QB in the East ? Ha , he might not be the best on his team . Kitna did better under center then Romo . Keep talking up your 6-10 team .

I’ll take the final score.
Eli is regressing as his career goes along.
@bigbluefan56:
Vick or Plaxico?
IT’S PRESEASON. HOW DENSE CAN ALL OF YOU BE?!?!

Romo is the best QB in the NFCE.
—————————-
Rex Grossman has won more playoff games than Tony Romo.
Oh wait, this is for all of the all-caps Eagles thread dream team troll nonsense:
ELITE QB!
Can’t spell elite without ELI!
what if Eli was black tho?
Honestly Vince Young is better than this clown.
Eli Manning is as brutal as they come.
@melonhead :, Romo’s the best QB in the East ?
———————————————————————
Without question. It’s not debatable. At this point in time and until proven otherwise in the future, Tony Romo is the best QB in the NFCE.
Rex Grossman has won more playoff games than Tony Romo.
—————————————————————-
Grossman has won as many playoff games as Michael Vick and Vince Young combined, too. OOPS.
Eli is the 2nd most overrated Manning in the NFL.

Ooooh, U mad. That’s why you threw Vince Young in – I see what you did there!
Rex Grossman has won more playoff games than Tony Romo, Jon Kitna, Vince Young and five and a half billion other people combined, give or take.
But the two backups (and maybe a few hundred million of the randoms) can probably keep a snap upright without bobbling it.
“Romo is the best QB in the NFCE.”
Thats like getting the award for the tallest midget.
Text book Eli, a little pressure and bam! INTs galore lmao at the giants, and with that trash secondary? Trash LBs? It’s gonna be fun watching the giants miss the playoffs again. Eli is an elite turd!

No one defended him before you posted that and only one or two did afterward/ We don’t blindly and unconditionally dote on our players like you Steelers hacks do, supporting rapists.

Trash? You were fine with the first statement about Eli. As a Giants — a REAL ONE — I am disgusted with how he’s played this preseason and won’t defend it blindly.
But you have lost your mind with the rest of that statement.

And a perpetually empty trophy case, t’boot.
gilbride should start treating eli like phil simms and not warren moon.
eli can manage a game but never win it by throwing the ball all over the place.
run the ball gilbride.please.
@Mr. Wright 212:
perhaps YOU dont blindly support and defend him but feel free to check other posts that relate his status as an elite qb in this league and you’ll see what i meant. on to your next comment about supporting rapists, i can provide tangible and credible evidence that your qb habitually makes poor decisions and throws picks, can you do the same to support your assertion that our qb is a rapist? and speaking of trophy cases, how’s your compare to ours? how many can your qb put on his resume?
E-L-I… “Elite”… L-I-E
