Something not talked about from Sunday was the ability of Jones to do a great job tossing balls over the blitzes and the screen passes. The Giants stopped doing it in the 2nd half for some reason. But this has been an area where traditionally Jones would dump it off WAY too quickly instead of letting the play materialize - and we wouldn't see much success. But on Sunday he waited until the defense was on him, took a hit and made big plays. This is a welcomed sight to his arsenal.

I remain nervous about how he "changed" after the big hit from Garret. He played extremely jittery after that hit. Daboll would've been wise to incorporate a screen or two or more TE passes to combat the rush

People citing total career stats for Eli Manning are forgetting that Eli is 10th all-time in games played.

So, discussing total yards or touchdowns is statistically meaningless. You should instead discuss TDs or yards per game.

Rich,

Respectfully, this is only a valid point if you completely throw the value of durability over a long period of time out the window. As someone who regularly laments the Giants' perpetually bad injury situation, you would be the last fan I'd expect to feel this way. I can't imagine you actually do.

The old adage "availability is the best ability" is a pretty widely accepted reality about NFL players. Eli was as durable a player as the league has ever seen. He literally never once missed a game due to injury. That's flat out remarkable in this violent, grueling sport. It is one of the reasons he will be in the Hall.

So, in my opinion at least, his career totals in fact DO matter. They are the direct result of his being so durable, which is, according to the widely accepted wisdom, the most valuable "ability."
