I'm a bitter ex-giants fan who got off the bandwagon 2 seasons too early, but got damn if Eli is that dude right now.
Eli was always that dude, from the start his knowledge of breaking down d's(ala Peyton), coupled with his clutch gene that he displayed very early on I knew he was destined for greatness, and to think I used to get laughed at when I said Eli would be better than Peyton....
Eli always got hated on unfairly for teammates and media, like he could throw and catch the ball at the same damn time, I admit Eli did used to have me livid with his Errant int's and playing down to his competition's level
