I don't get Eli.

Sitting out a year because a bad team drafted you ? Missing out on a years worth of pay (probably 6-10 mil if he plays his cards right ?), because you think the team will do poorly.

Look at Terry Bradshaw, going to the Steelers in the early 70s, the Steelers were coming off a really bad season, and then they only went to win 4 superbowls and virtually dominate the decade.

Anyway, isn't it every college players dream to play in the NFL, now he has the chance not only to play, but to start on an NFL team. A team that does have some glaring holes (WRs, OL, CBs), but has an unbelievable stud at running back as an unbeatable safety valve. I mean if he gets pressured at all, he could just call some run plays at the line of scrimmage and let LT pound the defence some.
