Re: Is Eli Done in New York?
That's the point. We expect more here than teams like the Bengals who have the same coach for a 12 years with no playoff wins in all that time. If we felt that what Billick didn't wasn't good enough there is no way we would accept 4 years of missing the playoffs without change like many here think the Giants will do. Ravens fans would be the first ones expecting a fresh start under those circumstances.

Re: Is Eli Done in New York?
His cap number isn't any worse next year than it is now, actually a little better (20.4M in 2014, 19.75M in 2015)
Obviously they'd prefer to get that down, but he's playing in the last year of his contract, so that's gonna make it pretty difficult: Short of just asking him to take an outright pay-cut, they can't renegotiate that cap number down without extending him. Which they'll do if they still see him as the QB of the future. If they just want him as a stop-gap for one more year while they look for other options, they're kinda stuck."Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but NOT to their own facts" - Daniel P.

I wasn't really clear in what I was saying. In my opinion, their options are 1) extend him if he is your guy for the next four years or so, or 2) cut him loose and save that cap money, They certainly could keep him for one year at $19MM; I just don't see any sense in doing it.
