This is one of those things I believe.. you know when you go for a job interview.. and they want "experience".. yet your ask "Well, how can I get "experience" if I'm never given a chance?"... that kindda feeling...
The way I see it, the guy has a strong and accurate arm.. he's physically "fit" to play the position and the limited time I saw him on the field I liked what I saw... you surely don't expect someone to come and play lights out when the team is trying to run out the clock in the final 2 minutes; do you?
Who was the QB that played for us before drafting Eli? (his name escapes me).. that worked out well didn't it?
btw, the same belief worked for me when I said I'm all for Reese being our GM.
