Eli's the opposite of a game manager.
He's a mad bomber, and an extremely mediocre one at that. Eli never saw an interception he wouldn't try to throw.
Being an average or even below average quarterback doesn't make you a game manager. It's a style - not a performance rating.
There's little about Eli Manning that suggests game manager. He threw bombs whenever he thought he saw something available (even when it wasn't). He made risky, often stupid passes into coverage because he thought he was better than he is.
Eli Manning was a better version of Rex Grossman and a worse version of Kurt Warner. They were all the same type of player - none of them were game managers.
