When he was drafted by the San Diego Chargers he flat out said he would not play for them. He got his way and got to New York. Other players would give their eye teeth for a chance to be drafted by ANY NFL team, as long as they got their foot in the door. And they would be grateful for it. But full-of-himself Manning? Getting into the NFL wasn’t good enough for him. He wanted his cake and eat it too, and figured he was so great he would decide who he played for. Yes, Manning is a spoiled, “I’m-better-than-everyone-else” brat. You can see it in that continual smirk on his face. John Elway was another one for refusing to play ... Any drafted player can do what Manning and Elway did. ANY PLAYER. If you come into the draft with a resume that allows you to negotiate, than so be it. Don't blame Eli blame the system because it allows it!

As far as I’m aware, Manning and Elway are the only two QB’s self-centered and arrogant enough to refuse to play for who drafted them. You saying Eli is better than Unitas, Starr, Bradshaw, Montana, Aikman, Staubach, etc.?
