Giants players have reportedly lost faith in Eli Manning's ability to perform

While Eli Manning is doing well in some areas, he clearly has a lot of work to do in others. And at least some of the New York Giants are all too aware of this. Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com cited multiple Giants who have grown frustrated with what Manning is doing under center. “Behind closed doors, several Giants players have expressed frustration with Manning’s performance, according to sources. One player specifically commented recently about Manning’s inability to do anything against Cover 2 and zone defenses.” In some ways, Manning is actually having a good year statistically. Through five games, he has a 96.6 passer rating, which is a career high. He’s completed 71.7 percent of his passes. If that holds, it would shatter his previous career high of 63.1.

While he’s thrown only three interceptions, Manning also has only six touchdown passes. Additionally
