Yeah you take a look at that and say, "well, that's just the Skins." But think about it... how many years did it take the Dolphins to replace Marino? Elway in Denver? Speaking of Brunell, Jacksonville still hasn't replaced him.
Eli might not set the world on fire but he's a good, competent NFL quarterback who's already proven he can win the Big Game. I'll take him over Brian Greise and Jay Fiedler any day.... there aren't a whole lot of Aaron Rodgers' and Steve Youngs out there.
