He has had a decent line protecting him. Plus he gets rid of the ball really fast.
He’s had a decent offensive line during most of his tenure with the Patriots. When Tom gives his speech at Canton, he should give a shout-out to the Patriots front office, for helping keep him off his back on the gridiron.
BTW, Eli Manning’s long string of consecutive starts at QB is something that deserves more attention—and praise. Since the Giants won their last Super Bowl eight years ago, Eli has played behind some terrible OLs, and managed to escape injury. An impressive feat, given all the blunders the front office has made.
