Re: HOLY CRAP did Eli pick....
Eli said when he was drafted by the Chargers he refused to play for them if they drafted him, so they had no choice but to draft Rivers instead. What an arrogant jerk, I don't care if it was Eli or his father that came up with the idea that Eli was too good for the Chargers, but Eli is clearly the worst player on the field today. I'm glad he's having a bad day because all he's done is give the impression he's to good to be a Charger and how can that not be translated as a me,I,myself type of player. If we have a chance at Leinart and he pulls this same kind of crap, (and it has been reported that Matt might do this) I say pass because I don't want this piss poor attitude as the leader of my team. I'm glad he's not on my team. -

I feel the same, id be perfectly content to see him fail.Originally posted by feelthepain
Players in the NFL draft should not be allowed to pick their location. WTF is the point of the draft then.Comment

Re: HOLY CRAP did Eli pick....
I was gonna say, either the Giants really suck, or Carolina's pretty dman good team. That's how a defense should play. Seattle, watch out.“The Bills: better than the record indicates.”Comment

The Chargers DID end up drafting Manning.Originally posted by feelthepain
The Giants then selected Rivers with the 4th overall pick.
About an hour after the Giants selected Rivers, the two teams swung a trade. The Chargers got Rivers, New York's third-round pick in 2004 (Nick Hardwick, C) and the Giants' first (Shawn Merriman) and a fifth-rounder in 2005.Comment

Re: HOLY CRAP did Eli pick....
Well, Elway pulled a a similar stunt but I agree...if you wanna choose where you play, don't declare for the draft and sign as an UDFA for the team you wantOriginally posted by DevinComment

Re: HOLY CRAP did Eli pick....
Basically, the Manning decision was a HUGE favor for the Chargers. If they decide to keep Brees and deal Rivers, they will most likely get another 1st round pick back.Comment

Re: HOLY CRAP did Eli pick....
This was my whole point, I know exactly how the draft transpired DD and that has noting to do with my comments. I love seeing Eli fail because any time you think you're bigger then the game or teams then you've somehow missed the boat and you're no longer an asset to the league. I'm a fan of football and I love the draft, I don't like watching the team with the #1 pick have to comprimise their plans to improve because one player thinks he's too good for that team. The whole point of the draft is to improve, if a player is drafted #1 then that team thinks you are what they need to improve. Months and months of planning goes into the draft, and then one player throws a wrench into all the hard work?!?!?! I think that team should file a lawsuit against Eli for all the money and time spent in putting the draft together just to have it go to waste because of one player being a spoiled bratt. I think the only reason they didn't file a suit is because it worked out for the Chargers....luckily!!Originally posted by DevinComment
