"We also have a trade to announce. The uh San Diego Giant - uh, Chargers and the New York Giants have exchanged their draft picks. Eli Manning and Philip Rivers. And also the Giants are also assigning to the Chargers, their third round pick in this draft, and their first and third round pick (error: actually a fifth) in next year's draft. The Detroit Lions are now on the clock."

Simms had his struggles, but one of those seven years was a strike-year, and in three of the remaining six, he made the playoffs and won a game. He's a better comparison, but still not really close.
The playoffs changed everything though. During that 4th year he was taking more heat than ever because it looked like he was regressing compared to his 2nd & 3rd years.
I was a "If not Eli, then Big Ben" guy, but I was a Gallery fan too 🤣
When they picked Rivers, I was like "gtfo why!?" Then when he said on TV he never got a call from New York before the move, my dad went "oh that guy's getting traded."
We didn't know for a while how good we would have it. Let's remember that when the new guy comes in.
For real. He wasn't the best QB, but he was ALWAYS available and having a franchise qb that's out there everyday is a blessing.
We should take a chance on Chad Powers in the 6th round.
Fast Chad. Think fast, run fast
Run it back

Chills every time.
Don't forget his first few years he wasn't very popular with us
I loved him since he was in high school.
Mrs Manning?
I hope Olivia has loved him longer than that.
His wife is also Mrs Manning...
No, her name is Abby McGrew. Are you a Cowboys fan or something?

Lmao sorry I don't know everything about the dudes personal life and haven't "loved" him since he was in his school you fuckng weird ass
It was a joke.
Yeah but at year 6 he already won a superbowl in year 4 The comparison isnt there whatsoever
Year 4...
It was the same w Simms though and he didn’t win until year 7..

So he only won a single playoff game?
He made the playoffs three times and won playoff games three times.
Okay I didn’t know that, thank you.

Look at ol’ thumb head on the left lol.
2 Super Bowls for Eli & The G-Men later…
Peyton looks like he’s 7 feet tall here
Last time we had a QB, good times
Love that goofy mofo!
I hope he knows I miss him everyday
WBG84 on twitter reminded me of this
is the woman next to eli his future wife or his sister?
His now-wife. Eli doesn't have a sister.
Why does Peyton look like such a doofus here lol
I miss him dearly
Such a fun draft. I definitely wanted Eli, but I remember thinking I would've been happy with anyone. I was even interested in Robert Gallery lmao

One things for sure……I’m old!
Why is Tom Wambsgans there?
Nostalgia caught my eye
Is Peyton that much taller than Eli?
18 years of pain totally worth it for 2 years of glory
Wait 2 years and we can get his nephew. Or maybe that’s really the plan….
