From the ESPN article "Eli Manning needs consistency at WR"
..................Cruz and Nicks both missed offseason practice time last year due to the way they were handling their own personal health and contract issues, and both said that they would make sure to put in a full offseason this year (for Nicks, that assumes he doesn't leave via free agency). Manning said he'd appreciate that, no matter who his wide receivers are.
"I think the offseason is very important," Manning said Monday. "That’s where you kind of set your fundamentals and you get on the same timing with a lot of things. If there are things from the season before you needed to improve on, that’s the time where you kind of can dedicate those hours and you have time in the offseason to make those improvements, to talk things over and to make sure if you have bad habits, you can fix them. So I think that’s what the offseason is for because once you get into the regular season, everything has got to be in place. It’s got to be kind of set in stone. You can make little improvements here, but the practices are more. ... You’re going against the scout team and you don’t get as much live coverage like you do in the spring and during the offseason."
So this little douche bag is half assed blaming his WRs for bad performance? Pot meet kettle.
The guy has led the league in interceptions in 3 out of 9 years as a sterter, he has never been out of the top 10 in interceptions in his career, and he is 3rd for most interceptions by an active player currently.
The guy is lucky he has a job, and has no business pointing fingers at anyone but himself first and foremost.
18 tds and 27 interceptions in 2013.... Yet he has the balls to point fingers at Cruz and Nicks.
Personally, I would say Nicks and Cruz are more solid as WRs than Eli is as a quarterback.
As it stands, If I had to pick a QB from the new your area, I would take Geno Smith over Eli any day of the week.... at least he is showing improvement.
.... The Author closes with this line "Nicks seems likely to leave as a free agent, but whether he's back or Manning's working with a new guy, he's going to need more consistency and reliability from the position as a whole if he's to rebound in 2014 from his very disappointing 2013
I am honestly shocked the guy was able to type the column with nose buried so far up Eli's ass.
