Dude.
He was drafted with the expectation that comes with a franchise QB.
He plays in the most demanding media market in the NFL.
When his team needed him most, he went on the best 5-6 game run of his career, carrying that team through the playoffs and into the Super Bowl.
Then he leads his team on a last-minute drive against a 16-0 team that had been destroying the opposition for 4 months to win the Lombardi Trophy.
The Giants traded multiple picks hoping expecting that Eli would be that guy, and he didn't disappoint.
