He had a shitty year but there is no way that one year is enough to throw the guy into "worst QB in the league" status. Not many QBs can avoid having shitty years when virtually their entire offensive line goes down and they are stuck being protected by the practice squad.

Even the 27 interceptions are misleading. There's no question he makes some really dumb decisions at times. But I've also never seen a team have so much bad luck with tipped passes. If they keep track of those things, the Giants probably set a record for tipped ball interceptions this year. Once the inevitable Eli 27 interception montage comes out I'd actually be interested in seeing how many times the receivers bobbled the ball right into the hands of the defender. I'd guess at least a dozen.

Priority #1 this offseason is to rebuild the line. I'm hoping for at least one free agent signing (preferably at center) and drafting the best tackle available at #12 overall. If they have to shift Justin Pugh in to right guard, so be it. Eli may not be in the top tier of QBs but if he can a line that doesn't cause him to get swarmed in half a second every other play he'll be more than serviceable.
